Product Information

Ronald Joseph "Butch" DeFeo, Jr. is an American mass murderer. He was tried and convicted for the 1974 killings of his father, mother, two brothers and two sisters. The case is notable for being the real life inspiration behind the book and film versions of The Amityville Horror.

The victims were car dealer Ronald DeFeo, Sr. (43), Louise DeFeo (42), and four of their children: Dawn (18); Allison (13); Marc (12); and John Matthew (9). All of the victims had been shot with a .35 caliber lever action Marlin 336C rifle at around three o'clock in the morning of that day. DeFeo's parents had both been shot twice, while the children had all been killed with single shots.  The DeFeo family had occupied 112 Ocean Avenue since purchasing it in 1965.

One page handwritten letter from Defeo signed 'Love Ronnie'. Letter content is centered around introducing himself to the recipient.. Being that this letter is one page makes it ideal for display! Original matching handwritten envelope is included. Defeo has signed both he front and back of the envelope in full.

DeFeo items are non-existent on the true crime market making this letter and envelope set a truly one of a kind item. 

Back portion of envelope scanned. Certain portions of the front and back of the envelope have been obscured on the scans only and not the actual envelope or letter.
