Inside the ‘Amityville Horror’ house today, Long Island’s most notorious mansion
died in prison Friday at 69. DeFeo, whose nickname was Butch, spread terror across Long Island following the gruesome 1974 slaying of his family at their home at 108 Ocean Ave. The home — its original address was 112 Ocean Ave. but was changed to 108 to deter tourists — was purchased by George and Kathy Lutz one year after the murders.
