The Gemini Lounge stood at 4021 Flatlands Avenue in Brooklyn. Customers came for drinks. Roy DeMeo used the premises to conduct business with car thieves, borrowers and members of the Gambino crime family. Some visitors arrived expecting a conversation and never returned home.

For investigators, the problem extended beyond finding a gunman. Missing people had different occupations, different enemies and different reasons for entering DeMeo’s company. Their families reported disappearances. Their associates offered explanations. Without bodies or cooperative witnesses, detectives struggled to connect individual cases.

DeMeo understood the advantage. He assembled a group capable of earning money, enforcing debts and removing people who threatened either activity. Above him stood Mafia supervisors who collected proceeds from his work. Around him stood younger criminals who learned how readily a business dispute became a murder assignment.

The explanation for his longevity lay in those relationships. Who protected him? Who followed his orders? What happened when someone inside the organization became more valuable to prosecutors than to his former partners?

The answers lead through a business whose income depended on theft and whose continued operation depended on people disappearing.
