The Amityville Murders
One whole year before the Lutzes’ arrival in Amityville, at the infamous house on 112 Ocean Avenue portrayed in The Amityville Horror (1979), the eldest son of Ronald and Louise DeFeo–the troubled twenty-three-year-old, Ronald “Butch” DeFeo Jr.–grabbed a powerful .35 calibre lever-action rifle, and executed his parents and his four unsuspecting siblings in their sleep. DeFeo Jr. was convicted of six second-degree murder charges. He is currently being held at the maximum security Sullivan Correctional Facility in New York. The grisly police findings are shrouded in mystery. Was Ronald really responsible for planting the evil seeds in Amityville House’s notorious Amityville House? –Nick Riganas
