Here is something I copied from a website that mentions DeMeo. He is the one that I heard scared some of the family heads because he enjoyed killing too much.


"Castellano, although adverse to using violence, did not shy from it. He turned to one of his serial killer hit squads, headed by Roy DeMeo, who specialized in murder-for-hire killing some 250 victims. DeMeo's style was to shoot his victims in the head, quickly wrap their heads in a towel, hang the victim upside down to drain the blood, and then butchered the body and placed it at the bottom of a landfill. Castellano ordered DeMeo to murder his son-in-law, Frank Amato, whom
he had heard was beating his pregnant daughter, Connie, and was having affairs. When Connie had a miscarriage, Amato's body disappeared on Sept. 20, 1980.

A federal probe of DeMeo in 1982 prompted Castellano to have DeMeo murdered when DeMeo refused to meet with Castellano to discuss the federal probe. DeMeo's body was found in the trunk of his car Jan. 10, 1983."
