imagine a world where death lurks behind every corner where a single man held the
0:06
power to make anyone disappear Without a Trace welcome to the chilling Story of
0:13
Roy Deo one of the most ruthless killers in Mafia
0:20
history in the dark underbelly of 1970s New York Deo perfected the art of murder
0:26
like Henry Ford perfected the assembly line with brutal efficiency and
0:31
terrifying Precision with potentially 200 victims to his name he didn't just
0:38
kill he revolutionized how the mafia disposed of bodies ensuring they would
0:43
never be found but this isn't just a story about a killer it's a tale of how
0:50
America's most sophisticated law enforcement agencies failed to stop a man who turned murder into a business
0:59
despite the mount body count and growing evidence Deo continued his reign of
1:04
terror leaving us with one haunting question how did he manage to evade
1:10
Justice for so long in 1975 detectives working for the
1:15
organized crime task force made a maab discovery it was a quiet Sunday in
1:21
Queens in an alley behind the market behind the meat Pantry the police
1:27
discovered the remains of a young adult stuffed in into several garbage bags the
1:32
victim was Andre Katz a smalltime criminal and very skilled car thief he
1:39
supplied cars to body shops and used car dealerships he came from what was then a
1:46
dangerous area of the city the canasi District of Brooklyn during the 1970s
1:53
canasi was the epicenter of the city's stolen car trafficking the area was
1:59
famous for its shops mechanic shops and auto graveyards many of these mechanic shops
2:06
were known as chop shops specializing in dismantling stolen cars to use their
2:12
parts however when Katz's body was discovered it was evident that someone
2:18
had been dismantling more than just cars no one realized that this maab discovery
2:25
was the first clue in one of the most shocking crime sprees ever remember remembered initiated by one of the
2:32
bloodiest Mafia Killers Roy deio Roy's life could have been very
2:39
different his mother wanted him to be a doctor one of his uncles was a prominent
2:44
prosecutor another a forensic scientist but Roy deio never envisioned such a
2:51
promising future after starting as an Aaron boy and part-time butcher he chose
2:57
a life of crime in the late 1960s Roy deio was doing well in his
3:03
chosen career he was a successful Thug and Street gangster but Deo wanted more
3:11
he longed to become a so-called maid man a full-fledged member of a mafia crime
3:18
family and soon he got what he always wanted one day he received a call
3:25
someone wanted to meet with him the call came from this house the home of Nino
3:31
gagi a mafia captain in the infamous Gambino crime family of New York he was
3:38
introduced into the organization by Nino gagi who worked for Paul Castellano the
3:43
boss of the Gambino family the gambinos were the most powerful of the New York
3:49
crime families the five crime families controlled New York's Underworld for Deo
3:56
a meeting with Nino gagi was an honor and could be the first step toward
4:01
becoming a member of the mafia gaggi placed Deo on the first rung of the
4:07
mafia ladder he became an associate working with Nino on various schemes to
4:12
increase their respective fortunes deo's business interests loone sharking
4:18
gambling theft fit perfectly the honeymoon period started well as deio
4:24
expanded his lone shocking business soon Roy was doing what any mafia boss dreams
4:30
of making money hand over fist but Deo
4:36
was more than just a lone shark he was an entrepreneur he began to set his sights
4:42
on other areas of crime such as pornography at that time hardcore
4:48
pornography was illegal and some crime family bosses including the gambinos
4:55
frowned upon it however Deo saw it as two good an opportunity to pass
5:02
up Nino gagi turned a blind eye for one simple reason the profits were
5:10
tremendous to fulfill his agreements Deo built his own specialized gang known as
5:16
the Deo crew each member had their own area of
5:21
expertise it included Chris whose real name was Rosenberg a ruthless
5:27
24-year-old with a pension for Fast Car and drugs Chris was the gang's getaway
5:33
driver Freddy Was a Race Car Driver highly respected as a car thief who
5:39
could Escape any police chase other members of the crew included young and Anthony Center who were so close they
5:46
were nicknamed The Gemini twins together they were a curious mix
5:52
of characters but they were United by their admiration for Deo they saw him as
5:58
a father figure and as he rose in the ranks he brought them up with him Roy
6:04
was like a father to them their mentor and their boss the gang often met at a
6:11
bar on Flatlands Avenue in Brooklyn today it's a church but back then it was
6:18
called The Gemini lounge and served as the Deo Cruise club and base of
6:23
operations the Gemini Lounge was a neighborhood bar it wasn't a night Club
6:30
it was a very quiet place where men coming home from work could go for a
6:35
drink The Only Exception was that its owner was Roy
6:41
deio from his base at the Gemini Lounge deio began to expand his criminal
6:47
operation Roy was an entrepreneur who sought many ways to grow his business
6:53
and he did so exceptionally well in 1972 he achieved ant extraordinary feat
7:00
for a career criminal he entered the world of finance and was elected to the board of directors of a small Bank the
7:08
Brooklyn Credit Union initially Roy started working under Nino gaggi helping
7:15
to launder money but Deo didn't stop there he saw the opportunity to steal
7:21
cash as well as launder it what happened next was that Roy immersed himself in
7:27
the business organized it and took it a step further Deo began embezzling money
7:34
looting the bank's capital and even got other directors to do the same by the
7:39
time he was done the bank had gone bankrupt having provided him and his associates with substantial funds Nino
7:48
gagi and Deo pocketed hundreds of thousands of dollars the bankruptcy of
7:54
even a small Bank could have spelled disaster for Deo as the FBI and tax
7:59
authorities began investigating the Credit Union collapse however both gaggi
8:05
and Deo had already distanced themselves from that activity and they couldn't be
8:11
implicated as a result they were free and clear deio had managed to elude the
8:19
authorities and now believed he could get away with anything even murder in
8:26
1973 Roy deio was 32 years old his pornography business was doing well
8:32
but deamo thought it could do better then one of his associates Paul Rosenberg was arrested Under Pressure
8:40
Deo feared that Rosenberg might reveal his role in the industry so he decided
8:47
to take action in July 1973 Deo coldly picked up Rosenberg and
8:54
drove him to a quiet part of the city it was his first murder the execution
9:00
changed him he discovered that killing gave him a sense of power now he
9:05
wouldn't hesitate to kill again whenever an obstacle arose soon the opportunity
9:12
for more murders presented itself due to Demo's growing interest in another lucrative business car theft the demo
9:20
crew was gaining prominence in the profitable stolen car trafficking industry they had a well organized gang
9:28
of between 7 and 20 car thieves operating every night in New York
9:34
enormous amounts of money could be made as a car was often worth more for its
9:39
parts than as a functioning vehicle everyone had their orders and knew their
9:45
roles the crew stole cars and either assigned them new documentation or
9:51
dismantled them in the chop shops of canasi they didn't just steal any car
9:57
they knew exactly what kind of of cars they needed to steal some customers wanted a Jaguar others a Cadillac or a
10:05
Porsche they stole on demand the exact car model year any luxury car would
10:15
eventually need replacement parts making this a highly profitable
10:20
operation so what they started doing was dismantling the cars and selling the
10:28
parts a very lucrative business it was at the height of this
10:33
activity that the local car thief and Deo associate Andre Katz got into
10:40
trouble with the police Andre was arrested on a drug charge and they feared what he might reveal to the
10:47
authorities worried that cats might talk Deo consulted his mentor Nino gaggi
10:53
after a meeting with Roy and his Capo Nino gagi the order was given to kill
11:00
Andre Deo devised an elaborate plan Katz was lured by a female accomplice into a
11:07
trap where they captured him put a noose around his neck and dragged him into a
11:13
car then Deo and his crew took cats to a meat Pantry behind the meat market in
11:20
Queens but this time Deo did something different inspired by the surroundings
11:27
he used his butchering skill that's how Andre cats ended up in pieces inside several garbage bags the next
11:35
thing you see in the headlines is the news of a dismembered body found in the back by a vagrant who thought he had
11:42
stumbled upon a leg of lamb in reality it was Andre's thigh identified by a
11:49
tattoo on it they wrapped it in butcher paper and carefully placed it in the
11:54
garbage bins behind Pantry Pride however Deo made a mistake the
12:02
body parts were found because the trash wasn't collected over the weekend once
12:08
again deio got away with it the 1975 police investigation into cats's murder
12:15
failed to uncover the gang's involvement no Witnesses came forward to testify and
12:21
no incriminating evidence was found according to retired homicide detective
12:27
Joe Ling the reason was that cats wasn't the right type of victim if the victim
12:33
is a store owner there is more social impact but when the victim is a figure
12:39
in organized crime there isn't as much outcry and detectives don't show as much
12:45
interest Ling considered this a significant weakness he would often go
12:51
to see his boss and sometimes had to practically beg on his knees for permission to investigate the
12:58
homicide from then on Roy Deo began to enjoy this form of murder he was
13:04
probably one of the most vile ruthless and bloodthirsty characters I have ever
13:09
encountered dismemberment was rarely used by the mafia but for Deo it had
13:16
become his signature he had no respect for human life no respect for anyone but
13:21
himself if you look up evil in the dictionary his photo will
13:27
appear Deo discovered that anyone could be made to disappear they would cut the
13:33
body into pieces carefully wrap the parts and leave them in dumpsters the
13:39
dumpsters would be emptied and the contents taken to the vast Fountain Avenue landfill in
13:46
Brooklyn all the garbage from Brooklyn and Queens was taken there in that
13:51
landfill there was a special area for their meat products which had to be
13:57
immediately covered with garbage and bulldozers would cover everything if
14:02
something was thrown there it would never be found that's why they used it
14:07
more and more people were disappearing there was a number of individuals who had vanished and we could never locate
14:14
them there was a group of men who were killing people whose bodies were never found restricted area proper
14:22
identification is required today the landfill has long been turned into a
14:28
landscape area and there are few clues about the number of bodies Deo sent
14:33
there in addition to using the landfill the crew also disposed of their victims
14:39
in another way they would dismember the bodies pack them in sturdy bags and toss
14:45
them from a boat into the ocean Deo became increasingly Adept at his work he
14:52
was so skilled that even the boss of the family Paul Castellano called upon him
14:58
to use his service as a Hitman hazardous waste he had found out that his
15:04
son-in-law was cheating on his daughter one of the bodies belonged to Paul
15:11
castellano's son-in-law ordered Deo to kill
15:16
him once again the body was never found
15:22
surprisingly despite all the disappearances the police department failed to establish a pattern except for
15:28
one person Detective Joe wendland initially a colleague from the
15:34
stolen vehicle task force John noticed something all the murders are linked to
15:40
the world of stolen vehicle trafficking an informant told me look at the number
15:45
of car thieves who are disappearing I think they're being chopped up and that's why we can't find them despite
15:52
that lead no one continued investigating few shared wendland's enthusiasm for
15:59
delving deeper the 20th Precinct Police Department was indeed in crisis poor
16:06
financial management led to a halt in Police recruitment morale was low and
16:13
public confidence in the police department had plummeted to alltime lows
16:19
the stolen vehicle task force was overwhelmed and the FBI showed no interest in local car thefts so it was
16:27
fantastic time for deio with nothing standing in his way the business thrived
16:35
in 1974 alone 77,000 cars were stolen in New York City no area was safe from car
16:43
theft it affected the entire country though major metropolitan areas
16:48
experienced the fastest growth rates for deio money kept pouring in
16:54
abundantly it was a terrible epidemic of car theft related crimes and a huge
17:00
number of warehouses filled with car shells were discovered however Deo
17:06
wasn't entirely at ease another law enforcement unit was investigating his
17:11
crew's meetings at the Gemini Lounge it was a separate unit the organized crime
17:17
intervention group of the Queen's District Attorney's office and detective Kenny was the intelligence agent he kept
17:25
all the files on organized crime covering every funeral every wedding
17:31
writing small notes and maintaining folders upon folders on all the families
17:37
so joling John Murphy and Kenny mccave did what the broad array of law
17:44
enforcement agencies hadn't been able to do they started comparing notes
17:50
convinced that deio was involved in murders they began surveillance tasks
17:56
but could only do so in their spare time they had missed the fact that Deo had
18:02
just received a significant promotion in 1977 Roy deio achieved what he had
18:09
always desired he became a full-fledged Mafia member and was forly initiated
18:14
into the criminal Mafia Family to be initiated you either become a money earner or a Hitman you either kill
18:23
someone or make money Deo was both he
18:28
became what was called a maid man working full-time for Capon Nino gagi it
18:35
was a momentous occasion in deo's life and the Fulfillment of a dream so Deo
18:41
and his crew were ecstatic and with the Euphoria came more murders things were
18:47
going so well for the crew he even took on jobs for any client who paid for it
18:54
contract killings in what became known as the murder machine
19:00
Roy decided to expand the business to include not only the assassination of enemies but also killings for the
19:07
families they accepted any contract inviting the victim to a party and never
19:13
seeing them again that's what Roy did 1979 was a
19:19
peak for deo's murder machine to meet the demand the crew carried out the
19:24
killings and dismemberments indoors most of of the murders were now committed in
19:31
the back of the Gemini Lounge behind the lounge was an
19:36
apartment rented by a guy named con they lured the victim there with a ruse and
19:42
brought them into the apartment Deo would shoot the victim in the head quickly wrapping them in a
19:49
towel Chris Rosenberg would then stab the victim in the heart to stop the
19:56
bleeding the body was then left to drain for 45 minutes in the bathroom before
20:02
being placed in the bathtub dismembered and packed into a sturdy garbage bag
20:09
after dismembering the body and flushing the blood down the bathtub drain they would all sit down with Deo order a
20:16
pizza and eat it with their hands covered in blood that's how Despicable
20:22
these people were over time the dismemberment process turned into a
20:27
sadistic ritual there was no need for it it was Pure Evil the mafia doesn't carry out their
20:34
killings like that to such extremes when they can they simply put a bullet in the
20:40
victim's head and dump their body in the river they did it out of pure perversion
20:46
and Deo employed these methods because he was a psychopath despite having
20:52
killed nearly a 100 people Deo could now make bigger deals so he embarked on an
20:58
ambitious plan to export stolen cars to Cuba he had become an international
21:05
criminal needless to say during the interval he made several people
21:11
disappear but the plan brought Hefty profits to both Nino and him in a short
21:17
amount of time they were receiving orders for 5,000 vehicles per week through their contact in Kuwait
21:24
meanwhile Deo became increasingly involved in in cocaine
21:29
dealings Paul Castellano frowned upon drug trafficking as it attracted law
21:35
enforcement attention however primarily through crew member Chris Rosenberg cocaine businesses flourished
21:43
in early 1979 Rosenberg traveled to Florida to purchase cocaine from a group
21:49
of Cubans upon Landing in Florida Rosenberg struck a deal to acquire a
21:55
kilo of cocaine to be delivered to New York York however upon his return to New
22:01
York Rosenberg made a grave mistake that would have serious consequences for Deo
22:08
the Cubans came to deliver the drugs expecting payment when Rosenberg refused
22:14
to pay and threatened to kill them he murdered three people the Cuban bosses
22:19
were outraged by rosenberg's actions when Deo found out he said
22:26
they're going to send an army here and they're going to kill you and he asked what name did you give them
22:34
Rosenberg replied I said I was acting on behalf of Roy
22:40
Deo then Roy said my God my family is dead they're going to come here and wipe
22:45
out my whole family rosenberg's murders could lead to an allout war between the
22:51
Cubans and the gambino clan in compensation the Cubans demanded
22:56
someone's head leading to what would later be known as the Cuban crisis so
23:03
Deo decided to offer a sacrifice his friend Chris
23:08
Rosenberg he decided that Chris had to disappear they stabbed and shot
23:16
him they had to make sure the Cubans knew they had fulfilled their part of the deal Deo couldn't make the body
23:24
disappear he needed a scene they couldn't dismember Chris they had to
23:30
leave his body visible for the headlines they parked his car in Floyd
23:36
Park leaving him seated inside with a 9M gun between his legs then they riddled
23:42
the car with bullets it made headlines once Rosenberg
23:47
was gone and Deo returned to his business still enjoying the favor of
23:53
Paul Castellano the boss of the Gambino family who valued his special
23:59
skills Deo couldn't be killed because Paul needed his Hitmen and his men were
24:06
highly respected granting Paul even more power nobody would dare to cross Paul
24:13
which made Deo crucial to Paul Castellano however the Cuban crisis left
24:20
its mark on Deo the idea that the Cubans wanted to kill him made him paranoid
24:28
leading him to commit a grave mistake he mistook an 18-year-old vacuum
24:35
cleaner salesman for a Cuban assassin Roy became very nervous when he saw that
24:41
poor Electrolux salesman wandering around the houses of maap picaro and
24:46
going up to his house to sell a vacuum cleaner they pursued the poor guy through the streets of Long Island
24:53
killed him and made him disappear although the murder was committed in
25:00
broad daylight the police obtained no information no witness dared to speak
25:06
but this time the boss of the Gambino family Paul
25:11
Castellano began to grow concerned about the attention Roy Deo was attracting to
25:17
himself so by late 1979 Castellano decided to kill two
25:24
members of his criminal family he instructed Nino gagi and Roy Deo to
25:30
carry out the murders the order came to Nino gaggi kill them take care of it
25:37
personally so Nino decided to enlist his right-hand man and primary Hitman
25:45
Roy they arranged a meeting with a father and his son they had them in the
25:50
car but the father realized it wasn't going to end well an off-duty local
25:57
police officer witnessed the murders and pursued them a police Sergeant who
26:02
worked part-time as a taxi driver saw the gunfire picked up on it and a
26:08
massive shootout ensued Nino was hit and Roy
26:13
escaped the fact that there had been a murder and shootout involving a police officer was something that couldn't be
26:20
ignored finally investigators began to establish the connection between Deo and
26:27
his crew linking them to the stolen vehicle trafficking and the murders in
26:32
the canasi district as well as between Nino and the mafia boss Paul Castellano
26:40
then in 1980 the FBI made a key Discovery a customs official on duty at
26:46
the Docks noticed a shipment of cars destined for Kuwait they appeared to be
26:51
stolen vehicles with new registration documents the investigation quickly led
26:57
to a warehouse which the FBI raided finding it full of stolen cars ready to
27:03
be exported by Deo to Kuwait a fingerprint found at the scene
27:09
pointed to deo's crew clearly highlighting the scale of the case Not
27:15
only was a Mafia Family selling stolen cars in Brooklyn but they were also exporting them to another country which
27:23
was unprecedented it suddenly became an international Case
27:28
attracting widespread interest in 1982 the pressure on Deo
27:36
continued to mount as a new task force moved into the Square in New York to
27:41
handle the case it was led by a highly respected prosecutor Walter Mack Walter
27:49
was truly a brilliant prosecutor one of the best I've ever known without a
27:55
doubt he was a man with courage and he was the one who pieced the whole case
28:03
together he threw himself into the investigation wholeheartedly Ma's job was to get all
28:09
the agencies working together a team of federal state local and Municipal
28:15
investigators was formed soon Joe Ling joined the team and
28:21
we spurred Walter's interest asking him to promise that if he took on the case
28:27
he would see it through to the end Walter Mack delivered on that promise
28:33
and soon it became clear that what had started as a case of large scale vehicle
28:38
trafficking was evolving into something much bigger the police had initially
28:44
handed us a case of stolen vehicle trafficking although there were
28:50
expectations that the mafia might emerge during the investigation there were no signs
28:56
initially that it was purely a mafia related case as Mack and his team delve deeper
29:03
into the investigation deo's killing machine came to light over the next 6
29:10
months to a year the extraordinary combined efforts of motivated
29:15
investigators unfolded they were convinced that the members of deo's crew had evaded
29:23
accountability for truly horrific acts and were dedicated to finding the means
29:29
and mechanisms to piece it all together with steadfast determination Mack and
29:35
his team built the case against deamo and his boss Nino gaggi this time they were determined not
29:43
to let them slip away there was a commitment to the victims the mothers
29:48
fathers husbands wives brothers and sisters that Justice was finally going
29:55
to be served and that drove them forward one tactic they explored was to pressure
30:01
Deo to see if he would crack then they received information that could truly
30:08
unsettle him a decisive step one day the phone rang and a new informant calling
30:14
himself Harry claimed to know everything about the network of stolen vehicle
30:19
trafficking Harry was none other than a partner of deo's
30:25
crew they brought him to Manhattan once Sunday night where nobody was present
30:31
except them and the prosecutor they made him sit down and told him what they
30:36
wanted all the information about the chop shops and the homicides Arena
30:42
started to sing and the Agents were left speechless they invited Arena and had
30:49
him seated for a week and a half where he gave a detailed account of each murder how they were carried out and how
30:56
they dismembered the bodies he said the easiest part to sever was the head it
31:02
split like a pencil Arena left them astonished divulging everything about
31:08
Roy Deo to further prove his credentials the informant pointed the team to the
31:13
whereabouts of one of the victims his body was found exactly where Arena said
31:20
it would be inside a cement Barrel at the bottom of a lake they discovered the
31:26
remains of what was once a human now reduced to a
31:31
skeleton he was wearing work jacket and pants and had a wallet in the jacket
31:37
pocket in the wallet there was a card with his dentist's name which allowed us
31:43
to identify him in about an hour as a result joling was sent to the Gemini
31:49
Lounge to present the situation to Deo and offer him a deal in exchange for
31:56
cooperation they knew Roy was involved in so many murders so many deaths that he would be
32:03
a valuable source of information for the police Roy deio wasn't at all interested
32:09
in the deal instead joling found that Deo offered him a deal Roy said you'll
32:16
have to kill me you're twoo old dogs to go looking for trouble I'll give you a million dollars in a Swiss bank account
32:23
in your wives names give me the okay and you can live like kings
32:28
I turned around and told him someday I'll pull you out of the trunk of your car but if you come with us I'll save
32:36
your life and he replied I'm a good soldier I'm in the mafia and when they
32:42
call me I'll come like a good soldier but the case was progressing well and
32:48
with the accumulating evidence it seemed only a matter of time before Deo would
32:54
be prosecuted then a disaster struck that threatened to ruin
33:00
everything as the trial date approached Roy Deo disappeared police went in
33:06
search of Deo informants claimed to have seen him roaming the streets armed to
33:11
the teeth like a madman then the police received a call
33:17
Roy deio the ruthless killer had been found dead in the trunk of his
33:24
Cadillac I went to the scene they lifted the trunk and there he was stiff as a
33:30
board I thought to myself what a tribute to our work they had murdered a guy who
33:35
was making them a lot of money His Cadillac was left parked in a
33:41
lot behind the baruna yacht club in Brooklyn he died as he had lived like a
33:47
street rat curled up in the fetal position in the trunk of a
33:52
car no law enforcement officer felt the slightest hint of compassion or EMP
33:57
aathy including myself the matter was clear the responsibility for the team of
34:03
investigators fell on the head of the Gambino family Paul
34:08
Castellano he was the man with the most motives Deo was killed because Paul
34:15
Castellano deemed him a risk they realized that we were getting
34:21
close to Deo and they thought that if we finally arrested him incarcerated him
34:27
and turned him into an informant it would have meant the destruction of their entire Empire Castellano had
34:34
reasons to be worried even in death Deo had left too many
34:39
incriminating pieces of evidence evidence that would bring about the destruction of the
34:45
family shortly after Law Enforcement Officers arrived at the Gemini lounge
34:51
with a search warrant we dismantled the bathroom and found blood in the pipes
34:57
contrary to what is seen on television blood never disappears if there is blood
35:03
in the pipes or on the walls it will remain there forever and will be
35:08
identifiable this allowed us to match the blood with samples from the victims and their
35:14
perpetrators the evidence led the team to deo's boss and Lieutenant of Paul
35:20
Castellano Nino gagi the case became the state's trial against gagi but Paul cast
35:27
ano was not safe either he also faced a trial during a two-e recess that the
35:34
jury took in the Christmas of 1985 Castellano went to a restaurant accompanied by one of his loyal
35:41
Associates unknown gunman ambushed him and shot him it was a setup they lured
35:47
him there and executed him as he got out of the car castellano's death was the
35:53
result of all our work and Walters we locked up all his kill Killers all his
35:58
top soldiers and that allowed them to kill Paul with Castellano gone in one
36:05
final trial the rest of deo's crew and their boss Nino gagi were tried for the
36:11
remaining murders including the one of the car thief Andre Katz it wasn't a case built overnight or
36:19
in a week it was the result of years of Investigation conversations with
36:24
informants sending agents to Kuwait and painstaking
36:30
effort in the end Walter Max's work resulted in the worst murderer ever to
36:36
join the ranks of the mafia leaving behind not only a shattered criminal family but also something more chilling
36:43
only a fraction of his murders have been solved the truth is we'll never know the
36:49
exact number if he claimed to have killed 150 individuals I'd say between
36:54
150 and 200 would be a rough estimate I believe Roy was extremely efficient
37:00
and ruthless in protecting his territory there were people who called us
37:06
reporting The Disappearance of their daughters young girls hanging around bars and similar places and we never
37:13
heard from them again as for delivering Justice to the victims it's a rather
37:18
complex matter is it really possible I'm one of those who think that
37:24
the wounds of the victim's families never heal Deo was as guilty as any serial killer
37:31
not only did he kill his victims but he also dismembered them degraded them and
37:37
forever stripped them of their Humanity he was a perverse and cruel human being
37:42
if he can even be called human I don't believe so I would characterize it as such by missing several crucial
37:49
opportunities to stop deio the law enforcement Machinery must bear its share of
37:55
responsibility while it's true that this same Machinery ultimately made strenuous efforts to end the situation a
38:02
fundamental question remains unanswered could there have been earlier reactions
38:08
and responses found for the families of his victims as we close this chapter
38:15
reflecting on the chilling accounts of Roy deo's reign of terror one thing
38:20
becomes abundantly clear the pursuit of justice is Relentless even in in the
38:27
face of the most heinous crimes while we may never fully comprehend the extent of
38:33
deo's atrocities or the true number of lives he extinguished what we do know is
38:39
that the tireless dedication of law enforcement and the unwavering resilience of victims families serve as
38:47
beacons of Hope in the darkest of times as we bid fwell to this series Let Us
38:54
carry forward the lessons learned the story shared and the memories of those
38:59
whose lives were forever altered by one man's insatiable thirst for power May
39:05
their stories Inspire us to stand against Injustice to seek truth and to
39:10
ensure that The Echoes of History Never Fade Into
