Ok so after doing a lot of research on the subject I finally did find a good source who has some proof of the Demeo connection. It doesnnt proof he was a hitman, just that there was a connection. Anthony Bruno wrote the first book on the Iceman. Unlike Carlo, he refused to put things in the book he couldnt verify. You wont find the HOffa, Castellano or Demeo murders. I wrote him an email asking him if there as any proof of Kuklinskis connection to Demeo . Here is his resopnse.

Hi Pat,
Good question. Kuklinski told so many tall tales, it was hard to separate truth from his inflated self-image. He told me a lot of the same stories he told Carlo, but if I couldn't verify it, I didn't put it in my book. (For example, the Hoffa killing and the Castellano hit.) As for his association with DeMeo, the late Kenny McCabe of the NYPD confirmed that Kuklinski had been at the Gemini Lounge in Brooklyn (DeMeo's headquarters) on several occasions. DeMeo was under surveillance in the early '80s, and the police routinely took down the plate numbers of the cars parked around the bar. Kuklinski's was one of them.


Further evidence: Kuklinski confessed to the murder of George Malliband. Malliband owed money to DeMeo and refused to pay up. Police confirmed the Malliband-DeMeo connection. Kuklinski told me he had introduced Malliband to DeMeo, making him responsible for the debt in DeMeo's eyes.


More: Kuklinski worked in a film lab in lower Manhattan owned by Gambinio capo Robert DiBernardo. At night Kuklinski freelanced, reproducing porn flicks, and one of the retailers he supplied was a porn palace in Point Pleasant, NJ owned by DeMeo. Kuklinski told me DeMeo beat him up when he didn't produce films fast enough to meet customer demand.


When I interviewed Kuklinksi, he implied that he killed DeMeo. Another tall tale. The hit was almost certainly ordered by DeMeo's boss Nino Gaggi most likely on orders from boss Paul Castellano. DeMeo's mood swings were becoming a problem; he had become a loose cannon.


I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have any others.


All the best,
Anthony Bruno
