This is a situation where what really happened the night of November 13, 1974 is scarier than all of the subsequent “ghost stories”; which only one family, the Lutz Family, ever claimed to have happened. The truth “out shines” the horror movies made about the house being haunted.

Part 1 “From Horror to Homicide” has it’s own Face Book page with approximately 3,000 followers.

Part of the Press release states; “Six years in the making, Shattered Hopes takes you inside the DeFeo home at 112 Ocean Avenue like never before. Shattered’s Part I: From Horror To Homicide features interviews with…

• Ric Osuna, author of The Night The DeFeos Died: Reinvestigating The Amityville Murders

• Dr. Eric Hickey, Ph.D., Forensic psychologist/criminologist and Dr. Kathleen Puckett, Ph.D, retired FBI agent.

•Ryan Katzenbach, Amityville researcher who has spent the last decade researching the case.

• Suffolk Homicide Detective Gerard Gozaloff, partner to DeFeo lead homicide investigator George Harrison.

• Peggy Giambra, Juror #8, The People v. DeFeo

• Anthony Gangitano, friend to Marc DeFeo and his teammate on the Massapequa Mustangs’ Football team

• Gloria Gangitano, friend of Louise DeFeo.

My co-host and one of my producers Rose Turner has seen the DVD and says that it is so much more interesting and gripping then any of the original “haunting movies”.

Rose Turner has said: “I found this to be one of the most forensic and thorough research of a murdered family that far surpasses the horror movies. As things are often said, the real story is much more disturbing then the fiction of hauntings that made Amityville infamous. Once I started watching the DVD for part 1 I could not stop watching it. There are no words to describe how well this is done and how intense it is. I recommend it to everyone that wants the truth including the real horrors of this house and not Hollywood hype ghost stories.”

Comment telephone lines are open to call during the show at 818-572-8030 long distance charges will apply. If you have a question about the DeFeo family murders for Ryan or an observation to share please call in. We encourage all to participate in this live show.

The three will be talking about Whitney Houston and what their sources are telling them in regards to possible causes of her death.

John will have something to say about the ex-body guard, Alan Jacobs, who was Houston’s director of security from 1995 until 2002, quit because he said Houston and her now ex-husband Bobby Brown, and those around Houston would not allowed allow him to do his job. Jacobs said that working for the star was like ‘living in the eye of a hurricane’ and added he was ‘constantly trying to fight the swirl of activity that’s around you’. Jacobs had, “eliminated access to her by certain people I thought were negative influences. The reality of it is that you can protect someone from everything but you can’t protect them from themselves.’

Jacobs has said he told Houston, “[I told her,] ‘You hired me to do a job, to protect you … but I cannot protect you from yourself.” Jacob has added that Houston replaced him with family members who would not confront her and dropped the ball on protecting her.
