Ronald Falcaro, 29, was killed on October 12, 1979, in Brooklyn after being lured to a garage with a false offer to buy cars. He and fellow car exporter Khaled Fahd Darwish Daoud had been moving vehicles tied to exports to Kuwait and were reportedly copying vehicle identification numbers—an action prosecutors later said risked exposing a stolen-car export operation. Prosecutors’ theory, presented in later federal cases, is that Falcaro and Daoud were murdered to prevent them from talking.

Court records describe a brutal disposal: the men were shot, dismembered with boning knives and saws, sealed in garbage bags, and removed in a private sanitation truck. The killings were folded into a massive 1984 racketeering indictment that produced multiple trials and complex appeals, including civil-rights murder charges under 18 U.S.C. § 241 tied to the allegation the murders were intended to silence witnesses.

Does anyone have information about Falcaro’s work in the car export business or about activity at Brooklyn garages in 1979 that could shed light on this case?
