The 1991 HBO interview was the closest to the truth, after that show aired and he got all the publicity from it is when the bullshit went into overdrive. He thrived on the attention that he got from that first show and thats when he started taking credit for every hit since the one on JFK. If he was a little older he probably would of claimed to have done that one too. He was a local murderer and most of Carlo's book is complete bullshit and so is the second interview he did for HBO in my opinion.

He tried to hitch his wagon to the Roy Demeo bandwagon but i seriously doubt DeMeo used him for anything and i have my doubts about if the Iceman even knew Roy at all on a mob business level or any other level for that matter.
