Butch DeFeo - The Amityville Slayings

38m · The Deadly Countdown · 26 Oct 23:00

Welcome, to The Deadly Countdown.

On today’s debut episode, we take a dive in to the killings that spawned millions of dollars worth of films and books, and put the murder location in the forefront of everyone’s mind when discussions on ghosts are made. Simply saying the word “Amityville” conjures images of the infamous house, with its windows appearing like eyes.

But, although the alleged paranormal happenings are very much down to your beliefs, what is not, and shockingly often skipped within the Amityville narrative, are the killings of 6 members of the DeFeo family. Today we walk through the timeline of events, and note some lesser discussed theories around the case.

Stay safe out there,

Kevin.

Welcome back, to The Deadly Countdown.

Today we dive into a haunting case of patricide, and take a look at what causes a mild mannered introverted teenager to shoot his own father dead? How this ends throws up many questions such as how custody hearings are carried out, right through to how to decide between premeditated and “heat of the moment” murders, and where does the right to defend yourself stop?...or even begin?
