MURDER MACHINE

The group noted as the largest Serial-Murder gang in New York City
history was known as ?The Murder Machine?. Operating during the
1970?s, this group ? led by Roy DeMeo- was responsible for at least 75
murders. Headquartered in the Brooklyn neighborhood of
Flatlands/Canarsie, DeMeo started a loan-sharking operation out of the
Gemini Lounge, and was responsible for distributing drugs and selling
scores of luxury stolen cars overseas to Kuwait. When the inevitable
business disputes arose, the group simply made the other parties
disappear: Luring them into a clubhouse behind the Gemini Lounge,
where they were shot and dismembered, then secured in a HeftyBag and
tossed into the Canarsie dump off of Fountain Avenue. The murders
became so easy to the crew that soon the ?Gemini Method? ? as it was
known ? was being used on anyone who got in their way. As a gift,
DeMeo presented three of his crew members with a set of custom carving
knives, which they kept in their car trunks in case a quick assignment
arose! A special task force of NYPD/FBI investigators eventually
cracked the gang, and were able to tag at least 75 murders to this
crew. (DeMeo, who was rubbed out by fellow crew members as the cops
closed in, bragged of over one-hundred murders). The exploits of this
crew are recounted in the book ?Murder Machine? by Gene Mustain and
Jerry Capeci ? and provides great reading material of this notorious
Brooklyn gang.

I don't know if this will help you, but I live only a block away from
the old gemini lounge and I have to chuckle when i say that it is now
been turned into a storefront church.

I also live close by, (85street), the neighborhood is completely shot.
There are only a handfull of italians who remain. I don't think that
there are any more mob spots in canarsie but you never know. I heard
the canarsie pier was a meeting place for gotti's crew. Alot of the
bodies that demeo dumped could be in the landfill off the belt
parkway,,just a theory.
There are alot of mob spots in south brooklyn (bensonhurst, bay ridge)
that still remain.
