Roy Albert DeMeo was a New York mobster. He was a member of the Gambino crime family and was the leader of the DeMeo Crew, a gang suspected of killing around a hundred people in the 1970s and the early 1980s. Most of the victims’ bodies were dismembered and disposed of very thoroughly, which resulted in them never being found. DeMeo is believed to have personally killed around 70 of them himself. He initially operated a successful loansharking business before venturing into the world of crime. He was approached by an associate of the Gambino family who told him that he could earn ever more if he worked directly for the Gambino Family. Thus, he joined them and soon gained considerable notoriety for his assassinations performed in the ‘Gemini Method’. His body was eventually found in Brooklyn in January 1983; he was assumed to have been killed by a member of the Gambino family. DeMeo’s character appears in the 2012 film ‘The Iceman’ which was about the notorious killer Richard Kuklinski. The story of DeMeo and his crew also appears in books such as ‘Murder Machine’ and ‘For the Sins of My Father’.
