Eugene “Mickey” Chaney spent the last day of his life delivering tulips, lilies and daffodils.
After he finished his day job, Chaney was supposed to meet with a big Milwaukee drug dealer, Michael Lock - a man investigators believed was moving 10 pounds of cocaine a week.
Chaney’s co-workers at the wholesale flower shop knew he had been in trouble before. But they didn’t know Chaney was selling drugs on the side.
Chaney, 43, had gotten out of federal prison two years earlier. He had gambled with Lock and they made a few dope deals together before Lock proposed pooling their money on a big buy.
Chaney stopped home and quickly counted out $100,000. He rushed out the door, still wearing his flower delivery shirt.
He went to a house Lock owned on N. 53rd St. As he stepped through the door, Chaney was tackled.
The old-school dope dealer laughed at first. His smile disappeared when Lock pointed a gun in his face.
Lock’s men bound Chaney in duct tape and started beating and kicking him.
Afterward, Lock and two henchmen, Carl “Uncle Ed” Davis and Donald “Killer Coop” Cooper, loaded Chaney into a truck and took him to another house Lock owned a mile away on W. Fiebrantz Ave.
A grave was waiting out back, next to the concrete slab that covered another drug dealer killed eight months earlier. After that first body was buried, Lock had placed a pit bull kennel on top of the slab.
It was dark. They pulled into the garage. Cooper dragged out Chaney. He begged for his life.
Cooper told Davis to lower the garage door. As it came down, Cooper pulled a plastic bag over Chaney’s head.
Lock and his uncle stood outside, their backs to a Milwaukee fire station across the street. They heard the sickening sound of a man struggling to stay alive. Be cool, Lock told his uncle.
After a few minutes, the door rose. Cooper stood inside, alone. Chaney was already in the backyard grave.
Based on how long Chaney was suffocating, investigators think he may have been alive when he was put into the hole.
Davis shoveled in dirt and poured more concrete. A second dog kennel went up.
A Lock associate who lived near the Fiebrantz house asked Cooper whatever happened to Mickey.
Killer Coop smiled.
“You walk past him every day,” Cooper said.

Lock’s brazen elimination of Chaney provided investigating law enforcement agencies an opening to take down his growing criminal enterprise. But authorities failed to make key connections.
Chaney vanished on April 7, 2000.
His family was certain he was murdered. City police commanders figured Chaney was dead - but they had no body.
They did have one key piece of evidence. Chaney was using his daughter’s cell phone - and was hiding that fact from his probation agent. He forgot the phone at his house when he left with the $100,000. The last number dialed was Lock’s.
Eleven days after Chaney disappeared, Milwaukee homicide Detective Cameo Barbian-Gayan interviewed Lock. He told the detective his number was on Chaney’s phone because he was going to build Chaney a fence. He said he had no idea where Chaney was.
Barbian-Gayan didn’t know that a county drug task force was already investigating Lock.
A few days before the detective’s interview, the task force happened to be sifting through Lock’s trash at the home on W. Fiebrantz Ave. where both murdered drug dealers were buried. Authorities were looking for evidence of drug dealing and money laundering.
City homicide detectives didn’t know about the drug task force or its search. The drug task force didn’t know Lock was a suspect in Chaney’s disappearance. And neither the police nor the Sheriff’s Department knew that the FBI had recently recorded wiretapped conversations that may have linked Lock to Chaney’s murder.
Each agency closely guarded its own case, worried that leaks might tip off Lock. Had they shared information, some of those involved believe Michael Lock’s reign could have ended much sooner than it did.
“We lost him. He fell between our fingertips,” said Jeffrey Doss, a veteran investigator of the district attorney’s office, who was on the county drug task force.
Detective Barbian-Gayan wrote a two-page report on her Lock interviewand filed it. She and her bosses suspected Chaney was dead, but they didn’t have much evidence.
Chaney’s family felt the police didn’t push hard to solve the case because he was a drug dealer.
