HAYOOO. This is one of the cases that inspired the Amityville franchise. Butch DeFeo was unfortunately a cunning, stoic individual, but he ultimately would get caught in the silliest way. Join us as Koelle brings you on a journey that is just as interesting as the movie (more interesting, in fact).

Melissa Patterson is an all around narcissist. She used her manipulative ways to sneakily change an innocent, 96 year old WWII Veteran's will in order to have all of his money transferred to her at the time of his death. Well, she could not wait for this to happen naturally, so she took his death (murder) into her own hands. Kenna details her life and crimes, as well as the amazing story of Marty and Penny Knell.

Scott Peterson was a narcissist with anti-social tendencies on the inside, but somehow a cunning, manipulative, charming husband and soon-to-be father on the outside. He was able to hide the biggest part of his life from his affair, and ultimately decided his picture perfect life was not all-that. Koelle details this horrific crime and outrageous elevated ego that landed Scott behind bars.
