You’ve no doubt heard of “The Amityville Horror” before.  From a bestselling book to a multi-million dollar film franchise, the story has captured the world's attention from the instant it was reported.  The quiet Long Island town was rocked when the DeFeo family was brutally murdered while they slept.  The Lutz family purchased and moved into their home following their deaths, but only stayed for 28 days before fleeing in terror in the night.  The sensationalism of their claims led to a media frenzy, but this question remains: Did they experience a genuine supernatural phenomenon or was it just an elaborate hoax? ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Murder by Gunshot | Drug Use | Talk of Verbal and Physical Abuse | Paranormal Activity Hang with us: Follow Us on Instagram Like Us on Facebook Join our Case Discussion Group on Facebook Get Killer Queens Merch Bonus Episodes Support Our AMAZING Sponsors: HelloFresh: Go to HelloFresh.com/queensapps for FREE appetizers for life!

Michelle O'Connell's death in 2010 is shrouded in mystery to this day. She was found dead from a gunshot wound, and her death was initially ruled a suicide. Over time though, questions arose due to her troubled relationship with her boyfriend, Jeremy Banks, who was also a sheriff's deputy in St. Augustine, Florida. Despite evidence suggesting foul play, the case was closed, leaving her family frustrated and seeking justice. The case gained national attention as it raised concerns about law enforcement bias and the handling of domestic violence cases. Michelle's family continues to fight for a proper investigation, hoping to uncover the truth.  ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Domestic Abuse | Talk of Suicide | Gun Violence Hang with us: Follow Us on Instagram Like Us on Facebook Join our Case Discussion Group on Facebook Get Killer Queens Merch Bonus Episodes Check Out our Amazing Sponsors:  OneSkin: Get 15% off OneSkin with the code QUEENS at https://www.oneskin.co/ #oneskinpod Want More Ways to Support the Show?  Visit Our Amazon Storefront: Head over to killerqueenspodcast.com/links and scroll down to “Shop Our Style” or “Our Amazon Faves.” Here, you’ll find all the posts you can shop with our unique links to each item as well as our Amazon Storefront where we have lists like:  90’s Finds (curated by Tori with all the best 90’s stuff like tomagotchis and my little ponies) Back to School Must-Haves Gift Ideas for Kiddos that Tyrella loves Podcast Essentials (if you’ve ever wanted to start your own) and more!  Get Our First 44 Episodes Free: Want access to our first 45 episodes?

Serving as a sheriff's deputy in Martin County, Florida, Gerard Schaefer led a double life, portraying himself as a dedicated officer while secretly engaging in gruesome acts. Schaefer was convicted of the first degree murders of two young women, Susan Place and Georgia Jessup. Investigators suspect that Schaefer was responsible for as many as thirty murders from the late 60s to the early 70s before his arrest and eventual conviction. During his incarceration, Schaefer penned short stories depicting the abduction and murder of women, some of which contained chilling details correlating with women who had been reported missing or bodies that had been found, adding a disturbing layer to the already gruesome nature of his crimes.   **TRIGGER WARNING** Abduction | Kidnapping | Torture | Dismemberment | Murder with a weapon (Knife & Gun) | Rape | Animal Cruelty | Racism Hang with us: Follow Us on Instagram Like Us on Facebook Join our Case Discussion Group on Facebook Get Killer Queens Merch Bonus Episodes Check Out our Amazing Sponsors:  LolaVie: Get 15% off LolaVie with the code QUEENS at https://www.lolavie.com/QUEENS #lolaviepod Want More Ways to Support the Show?  Visit Our Amazon Storefront: Head over to killerqueenspodcast.com/links and scroll down to “Shop Our Style” or “Our Amazon Faves.” Here, you’ll find all the posts you can shop with our unique links to each item as well as our Amazon Storefront where we have lists like:  90’s Finds (curated by Tori with all the best 90’s stuff like tomagotchis and my little ponies) Back to School Must-Haves Gift Ideas for Kiddos that Tyrella loves Podcast Essentials (if you’ve ever wanted to start your own) and more!  Get Our First 44 Episodes Free: Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!
