On November 13, 1974, police received a report of a homicide at 112 Ocean Avenue, where they discovered six members of the DeFeo family -- father, mother and four of their five children -- shot and killed execution style. The surviving son, Ronald "Butch" DeFeo Jr., was eventually charged and tried for the murder of his family and is currently serving six concurrent life sentences. Some theorized that Ronald DeFeo Jr. was a sociopath turned killer. Others reasoned that Ronald DeFeo Jr. had to be possessed by the devil or insane in order to shoot and kill the slumbering family he adored. To this day, questions remain, such as: Why did it appear that six members of the DeFeo family slept through eight high-powered gunshots? Why were all of the victims found same position on the beds?

Three decades later, author RicOsuna strips away the mystery surrounding one of the world's most notorious events and provides definitive answers to questions that have been left unanswered over the years about the case. RicOsuna's The Night the DeFeos Died offers incontrovertible proof of the true motives behind this terrible tragedy and reveals Ronald DeFeo Jr. did not act alone in the commission of this crime.
