1972

Exposed deplorable conditions in "Willowbrook State School," an institution for people with developmental disabilities, in early 1972.

1975

1986

His most famous program was The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults (1986) that aired in April 1986. When Chicago's Lexington Hotel was being demolished, a sealed vault was discovered.

The hype generated a record rating of 57 with an estimated audience of 30,000,000. The term "Al Capone's Vault" has come to mean any overhyped event that leads to nothing.

The widowed Lillian Rivera subsequently lived in Sarasota and Siesta Key. She continued to be close to her children, all of whom she had raised Jewish, and even appeared with Craig on one episode of 'Geraldo at Large' from Florida via satellite as well as on Geraldo's 40th anniversary special in studio.Meanwhile, Geraldo named his youngest son, Cruz, in honor of his father, and his youngest child, Solita Liliana, in honor of his Judaism and his mother.
