Carmine Gargano Jr., 21, disappeared from his family’s home on Ridge Boulevard in Brooklyn on July 10, 1994. A Pace University student, he reportedly planned to go jet-skiing that afternoon and was last seen about 12:30 p.m. wearing a white t-shirt, blue shorts, white sneakers and a silver TAG watch. He is described as a Caucasian male with black hair and brown eyes, 6 feet 2 inches and 230 pounds.

Soon after his disappearance, attention fell on a recent bar fight at T-Birds in Brooklyn involving Carmine and Michael Mikey Flattop De Rosa, who reportedly threatened Carmine as he was escorted out. Federal informants later implicated organized‑crime figures; John Pappa of the Colombo family was suggested as involved, allegedly in retaliation connected to Carmine’s cousin Anthony Tigger Dellavecchia. Searches over the years targeted an auto body shop in Coney Island and an industrial park in Farmingdale; neither excavation initially produced remains. Carmine’s family continued pursuing answers despite threats and filed a wrongful death suit in 2018.

Does anyone have memories of Carmine, the T-Birds fight, or the Coney Island area in 1994 that might shed light on what happened?
