The Amittyville Horror: Fact and Fiction

Many debates have been discussed about the 'facts' in the book
The Amittyville Horror
. Was the house really built above an ancient Indian torture room? John Ketchum? Even the DeFeo murders can be questioned some ways or others. The Lutzes' claim thier house was 'possessed,' but was it really?
Fiction
Ronald DeFeo, Jr. heard voices telling him to kill his parents and three siblings.
Fact
Ronald DeFeo, Jr. murdered his mother and father, along with his three siblings. He did not hear voices. He was not possessed.
Fiction
112 Ocean Avenue was built in the 1600s over an ancient Indian torture chamber created by the witch John Ketchum. Thier spirits haunt that very area to this day.
Fact
There was no ancient Indian torture chamber. There were many John Ketchums around colonial times, but none had built any such chamber, nor was there a supossed witch among them. The house was built in 1925 and has been explored after the Lutz family moved out, and no chamber was found.
Fiction
A priest came to the house to bless it. When blessing one room, he was told by a demonic voice to get oout. After leaving, a spirit followed him back to his home, where he was covered in boils and in immense pain. He refused to any more blessings of that house.
Fact
A priest did come to bless the house, but was never in pain nor was told by a voice to leave. He sued the Lutz family for false representation of himself.
Fiction
According to the Lutzes', every family that has lived in that house has experienced strange and unussual things happening to them.
Fact
Yes, the current family residing in that house have experienced strange things - people at thier doorstep and onlookers, peering into the house and knocking on the door constantly. No strange voices or possessions.
Conclusion
The Lutz family has confessed of the story being fictional. They even called numerous publishing companies to publish thier story.
But one question still bugs me:
The bodies of the DeFeos all in the same position when they were murdered: face down in thier pillows with thier arms up. The murder weapon was very, very loud. If Ronald had shot them all, wouldn't somebody hear the gunshot? Only one of the bodies was found not in the bed.
The body of the youngest DeFeo daughter was found in her closet.
Did Ronald have an acomplace? That seems to be the only logical explenation of what had happened, but maybe what happened wasn't logical.
This is for you to decide.

well..it was ONE weapon that killed them all. So unless he cloned his gun....or teleported it to his accomplace.....lol see where I'm going. Basically...the kid went insane and killed everyone. Lizzie borden anyone?
He could have...
moved quickly in his deed
or...
positioned the bodies afterwards.
the youngest most likely was too much a hassle and time. And most obviousy the last one he killed. A HA! mystery solved!
