"Love, Lies, and a Shot at the Doorstep"
In this episode of Crime Fixation, we unravel the sensational story of Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafuoco—a tale of obsession, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of forbidden love.
Amy Fisher, a 17-year-old high school student, became infatuated with Joey Buttafuoco, a married auto body shop owner nearly twice her age. Their illicit relationship spiraled into a web of lies and manipulation, culminating in a shocking act of violence: the attempted murder of Joey's wife, Mary Jo Buttafuoco, at their Long Island home.
Join host Jordan Wynn and crime expert Dr. Archer as they dissect the events leading up to the infamous shooting, explore the psychological dynamics between Amy and Joey, and examine how the media frenzy around the "Long Island Lolita" case turned a tragic crime into a nationwide spectacle.
What drove Amy to pull the trigger? Was Joey merely a victim of circumstance, or did he play a larger role in the chaos? And how did this case expose deeper societal issues about power, manipulation, and the public’s appetite for scandal?
