Hi everyone,
been reading in this forum for quite a while now, decided to register to give some more info on this post.
Does anyone know roughly when these were filmed?
According to the book
Murder Machine, this footage was filmed on July 4th, 1980.
Here's the excerpt:
"A month after the murders, Roy and Gladys pretended (not very well) that they were a happy couple
and hosted a lavishly catered Fourth of July bash at their splendid waterfront home in
Massapequa Park. Of Roy's principal associates, only Nino - who was free on bail while
appealing his assault conviction - did not attend; some of the event was videotaped by
Freddy, who expended much footage following Roy around like the faithful puppy he was.
"Freddy, if you don't stop, I'm going to shoot you!" camera-shy Roy shouted at one point, to
the delight of several children.
Wearing jeans belted too high and a too-tight red pullover, thirty-nine year old Roy looked
more fat and dumpy than ever; his most dangerous, loyal, and handsome followers -
Henry and Joey and Anthony - looked as silky and sleek as ever."

This was 7 weeks after the Patrick Penny murder (May 12, 1980) and 4 weeks after the Charles Mongitore / Daniel
Scutaro double murder (June 5, 1980).
