Louis Masgay, 50, of Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, was last seen on July 1, 1981, when he was reportedly on his way to a diner in New Jersey to buy videotapes from Richard Kuklinski. Masgay had hidden $95,000 in his van before his disappearance. His body was found 15 months later in Orangetown, New York, wrapped in plastic bags and showing signs of longterm freezing; the medical examiner reported ice crystals in his tissues, indicating the body had been frozen for an extended period before being dumped.

Masgay died of a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities linked his murder to Richard Kuklinski, who was known to freeze victims to obscure time of death. The condition of Masgay’s remains and the forensic finding of ice crystals were key in establishing that he had been killed well before his body was discovered, and investigators connected that evidence to Kuklinski’s methods.

Does anyone have information about Masgay’s movements around July 1, 1981, or about the $95,000 reportedly hidden in his van?
