Ferdinand Fred Todaro, 60, was murdered in Brooklyn on February 19, 1979. Todaro worked in the film production business and was drawn to an apartment under the pretense of buying a car.

The killing was carried out by members of the DeMeo Crew of the Gambino family. Roy DeMeo allegedly shot Todaro in the head while Chris Rosenberg stabbed him in the heart. Todaro’s body was then dismembered, packaged and dumped at the Fountain Avenue Dump in Brooklyn.

Investigators linked the plot back to Rega as part of a broader probe into the crew’s racketeering and multiple murders. Rega was later convicted in connection with this murder and other charges and received a forty-year prison sentence. Anyone with memories of Todaro or that Brooklyn neighborhood in 1979 is asked to share what they know.
