First Person Killers: Ronald DeFeo

I'm not sure Ronnie DeFeo truly understands even now what drove him to massacre his entire family. But this interview shows that he feels some remorse about it.

To kill an abusive father is one thing.

But to kill a mother is something that can begin to torment even the most vicious criminal.

I totally believe in the supernatural aspects of this tragedy. The anger within the family was the door that allowed those dark forces to enter.

The experiences of the Lutz family who moved into the house after the massacre confirm that the house was haunted at that time.

After watching this episode of First Person Killers I had recorded it on my DVR box and was going to copy it to DVD.

But that night it was like I could see the DeFeo family standing in front of the TV set so I deleted it.
