On April 19, 1988, a federal grand jury in Oklahoma City indicted Young and three other men in a Colombia-to-U.S. drug pipeline. Both liked money, winning, fast toys and the color white. Young's old lawyer, Melvyn Kessler, doesn't represent him anymore because of his own criminal problems. . An Aronow family lawyer, Murray Weil, won't discuss the racers' financial dealings. They threatened to cancel the Blue Thunder contract if Aronow didn't buy the company back. A day or two after the murder, Kramer told police how troubled he was to lose his "friend" Aronow. Through the lawyer, Mary Catherine Bonner, Kramer denies involvement in the murder. Young, already serving time for the "Dixie Mafia" murder, didn't respond to a telegrammed request for an interview. Someone swiped a gold Rolex watch from the dead man's wrist. He got himself into Cuba -- for smuggling. He named a Donzi 007. He refused to identify his employer. They were Communists. "I'd do anything for him, " an Aronow employee, Patty Lezaca, quoted Jacoby. But when the Feds found out they were buying the boats from Kramer, a drug suspect himself, they cringed. The cast of characters -- two behind bars, one the victim of a mysterious bomb explosion, and one unaccounted for -- all have connections to a trans-Atlantic network of shell companies and secret bank accounts. Jacoby never looked for a boat. Even before police crack the case, though, mystery writers and prime-time TV producers have penned scripts for the gangland-style killing on Feb. 3, 1987. In the 1970s, police said, he ran a "floating prostitution" enterprise in St. Louis; Columbia, S.C.; Wheeling, W.Va.; and Las Vegas. . His co-defendant: Ben Kramer, the racer-turned-drug lord, also guilty. And he may or may not be the same Jerry Jacoby who once strayed into Cuban waters during a scuba-diving trip out of Miami. But Aronow's son explains: In 1984, his dad sold his USA Racing Team firm to Kramer's Apache company. At least one he had committed. Or it could have had something to do with Ben Kramer, he says. Then he counted the rings, Mysterious ball seen beside road was 14-foot invasive snake, New York officials say, Elite gathering of financial titans returns to Miami for annual event, UM, Pitt battle for first place in ACC Saturday in front of sold-out Watsco Center, Philly phenom Carranza back at DRV PNK Stadium to face former Inter Miami teammates, Fourth-quarter burst by LaShae Dwyer propels UM women to ACC tournament quarterfinals, Heat falls to 0-2 on important homestand with painful loss to Knicks. This time the dispute was over a 40-foot custom-made sailboat, Cat Dancer, named for Young's green-eyed girlfriend, a one-time topless dancer. What's more, Young's description -- blue eyes, dark-blond hair -- does not match a composite drawing of the Lincoln's driver made from eyewitness accounts: a white man with a tanned complexion, a day or two's growth of whiskers and wavy brown hair. It pulled up to the Mercedes, driver's side to driver's side.
