In the early evening hours of November 13, 1974, a young bearded man burst into a local bar in Amityville, New York in a panic. He believed his parents might have been shot, and he didn’t know what to do. Several patrons at the bar followed him home in order to help. What they found would horrify the community. In the home on 112 Ocean Avenue, six bodies lay dead, all shot to death. The police were called and the investigation began. It didn’t take long for detectives to come to the conclusion that Ronald Joseph DeFeo, Jr. had killed his own family hours before bursting into the bar.
Listen as we discuss the horrific murders, the “possessed” house, and explore the family tree of the DeFeo family.
