Peter Waring was 30 and working as a cocaine dealer in Brooklyn when he was killed on February 7, 1979. The DeMeo Crew, an offshoot of the Gambino crime family led by Roy DeMeo, learned of his cooperation and allegedly lured him to the Gemini Lounge, where he was shot and stabbed and later dismembered.

Waring’s murder is presented as a deliberate execution intended to silence an informant and to hinder identification and evidence gathering. Who in the Brooklyn criminal scene at that time might still have information about Waring or his movements in early 1979?
