Excellent online article here: http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/weird/roy_demeo/3.html?sect=3 also: Get a copy of "Murder Machine" by Gene Mustain and Jerry Capeci 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 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. |
