On November 13, 1974, police discovered six members of the DeFeo family: father, mother and four of their five children shot dead, at 112 Ocean Avenue in the quiet village of Amityville, New York. Ronald, the eldest son, was found guilty of the murders.
This short television episode has a good focus on the DeFeos, and it is interesting to see the Lutz family try to help Ronald DeFeo out through his defense attorney. Various angles are explored, including (but not limited to) the two primary theories: it was a haunted house, and it was a hoax. I would love to know more about the mysterious ghost boy photo.
This would have made a good special feature for "My Amityville Horror", as it seems to have some of the same interview subjects and it would be good to contrast this with Danny Lutz. The news reporter especially, as he remains a skeptic.
