He was so good at his job even Castellano feared him, only meeting with him in person only if it was a must. While he was a contract killer, he was also a legit nut job, and possibly a serial killer, as his and his crews 200+ victim body count stood to prove no remorse.
Not only did he kill mobsters, he also killed those who were in the way. He took real pleasure in killing, and dismembering bodies. Another thing which made DeMeo a likely candidate for the "Serial Killers Hall of Fame" was his MO. He would seldom deviate from his "assembly-line" methods, which he had converted from those of the butcher shop. DeMeo would first shoot his victims in the head or stab them in the heart, bleed them in the shower, then he would cut up the bodies into smaller "manageable" chunks, shove them into boxes to be disposed of at random locations.
Roy DeMeo and his crew would carry out these gruesome killings in a clubhouse nicknamed "The Horror Hotel", sometimes eating their dinner while the bodies were being drained of blood in the shower. But this type of activity that got more and more violent, and erratic, murdering for just about any reason they saw fit and it would eventually bring heat from his superiors, mainly Big Paul Castellano.
Paul realized that DeMeo was drawing too much attention on from authorities so he put out a contract on him asking Nino Gaggi, DeMeo's closest friend and "collaborator", to take care of things. Shortly thereafter, Roy DeMeo's body was found stuffed in the trunk of his car. Not since Albert Anastasia had the Gambino Family had such a vicious individual within its ranks, for DeMeo was not only a hit man, he was the authority on contract killing.
DeMeo was the muscle for Paul Castellano, his crew knew how to get get rid of people, they knew how to get the job done, get the job done right and make people disappear. But like with most mobster hit men, Demeo turned out to be more then what Paul could control and needed him gone to protect his family and himself.
