Paul Castellano was indicted for ordering the murder of DeMeo and a host of other crimes. The convictions were secured by the testimony of former members Frederick DiNome and Dominick Montiglio. Borelli, Joseph Testa, and Anthony Senter were imprisoned for life after two trials saw them convicted of 25 murders, car theft, and drug trafficking. The remainder of the DeMeo crew was rounded up. In the postscript of a later edition of his Iceman book, Carlo acknowledged, “there is a good likelihood that Kuklinski did not kill DeMeo.” Richard Kuklinski also claimed to have killed DeMeo, telling Philip Carlo he killed him in revenge. Ralph Scopo, a soldier for the Columbo crime family, was overheard saying DeMeo was killed by his own crime family. Due to the DeMeo Crew’s reputation, the Gotti and DeCicco crew had been unable or unwilling to carry out the hit.ĭeCicco supposedly passed the contract to Casso, but many stories would surface. When Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso became an FBI informant in 1993, he said that Paul Castellano ordered DeMeo’s death. He had been shot multiple times in the leg and had a bullet wound to his hand, assumed by law enforcement to be a defensive wound when his killers opened fire on him. His partially frozen body was found in the trunk. Ten days later, DeMeo’s Cadillac was discovered in the parking lot of the Veruna Boat Club. His family members immediately suspected something happened to him. It was highly unusual for him to miss any important occasion. He later failed to attend his daughter’s birthday party. On the night of January 10, 1983, he went to crew member Patty Testa’s house to meet with his men. In Roy’s final days, he was seen wearing a leather jacket with a concealed shotgun underneath. Paranoia eventually took over, and the end came quickly. Afterward, the hunter became a victim of his consciousness. Although he had killed and dismembered many people, this murder had a profound effect on his psyche. On May 11, 1979, Roy DeMeo killed his close friend to appease the Cuban drug lords.
