On November 13, 1974, murder left a stain on Amityville, NY, that local residents will never wash off. They’ll be haunted - both figuratively and literally - by the DeFeo family massacre forever. You've probably heard about the Amityville Horror and may have watched one of the many movies based on the tale. But there's a very real murder at the root of the story.
