The man whose murder spree inspired the Amityville Horror movies has died in prison.

He was only 23 when he killed his family, he pretty much spent his whole life in prison ..46 years.

In 2012, the second shooter's gun was found in the lake behind the house, just where Ron said it was.

What does it matter if they found a second gun? The man is dead now. I don't think it matters now. The man murdered his entire family. He payed the price spending the rest of his life in prison. RIP to the Defeo family. As for Ronald Defeo jr, He'll have to answer to God for his crimes.

I can only imagine what the afterlife will be like for an individual like this.

Dammit!! Barely had an interview. I would’ve been interested.

The mob killed his family, he took the blame

He didn't die in prison. He died in Albany Medical Center due to coronavirus complications....

They show moive clips. I was 2 when this happened. So only heard of this from the moives. Thanks to the net only as an adult learned what he looked like. Well he gotta face judgement on the other side.

It is impossible to read about the true story of the family without hearing about all the BS movies and books or about the BS ghost stories! Where are Ronald's ashes? Were they spread about the family plot?

[GPCTM]

That's what we call "good news".

[milfinu]

why do people hear voices or hear their dog or cat and do what they say ? or why doesn't these so called voices ever tell them to do good. Sorry I don't buy it

[andrewattenboroughtwothumb]

the house is still haunted and the new conjuring movie is about amityville called the devil made me do it

[stephenstead]

He will of heard vioce je esd on drugs and Dring everyday. He was a spoilt brat. And saying good words about him

[SekhmetSecretWeapon]

isn't THAT convenient!! not that anyone would believe him, anyhow, but...
I think he told the truth the first time and there was weirdo mob involved....
weird similarities with the Tate house... and Allison and Dawn seem the
primary targets, IMO..
and the CREEPIEST THING OF ALL is HOW MUCH ALLISONS ROOM LOOKED
LIKE MINE...same furniture even... just... wtf
