- 20111h 54mNot Rated5.1 (99)A docudrama exploring the infamous 1974 mass murder of the DeFeo family by their eldest son and sibling. The case went on to spawn the "Amityville Horror" franchise of films.
- On a crisp autumn night in 1974, Ronald "Butch" DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family with a high powered rifle as they slept. Or did he? This second installment of the Shattered Hopes documentary trilogy picks up where Part I left off. From the opening minute, the DeFeo family has been slaughtered and everyone scrambles to respond to the scene....the details are sketchy at best, and the only thing that is known is that the surviving eldest son, Butch, is the sole survivor of the massacre. Butch is taken into "protective custody" and from here the story takes on a life of its own. Butch is ultimately arrested and charged with the crime, and Shattered's Part II, "Mob, Mayhem...Murder" takes a very close look at went down on the night of the murders while exploring, in intricate detail, the police investigation and subsequent prosecution through the Suffolk County, New York court system.
- The third and final installment of the Shattered Hopes documentary trilogy that explores the infamous "Amityville Horror" case. In 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. allegedly shot and killed his entire family as they slept in their Amityville, Long Island, New York home. A year later he was convicted of the crime. The first two installments of Shattered dealt with the ongoing drama within the family, the events that led to the murder, and the subsequent investigation and prosecution of the crime. Part III, the series finale, tackles the claims made by the Lutz family via "The Amityville Horror" that the former DeFeo home was haunted, while also, and in extensive detail, conducts a forensic autopsy into the original DeFeo murders to determine whether Ronald DeFeo had accomplices in his crime.
