14: The Amityville Murders
Episode description
On a November night in 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr murders his entire family, claiming that "voices" urged him to do it. During the trial he backtracks that statement, this time saying his lawyer made him do it. Less than a year later, George Lutz and his family move into the former DeFeo home. Their experience there was haunting. These are the stories that the "Amityville Horror" franchise was built upon. Join Bree and Suze while they discuss the facts of this case and the possible paranormal events that followed. Welcome to the "Spirits" part of Crime & Spirits.
Suze has whipped up a deliciously dark and twisted cocktail, "The Devil's Brew", which is perfect for a case like this. Sip tight and buckle up for a wild ride!
