Anybody ever get to talk to the Lutze kids?

[who_dat73]

I have spent the last two days pouring over all the stuff here and havn't come acrost anything concerning the Lutz children did anyone ever ask them abou the hauntings and such????

I too have wondered about the kids & why they have never said anything. I did find this on http://www.amityvillefaq.com -

I heard that one or more of the Lutz kids confessed it was all a hoax.
The only public items that we’ve seen or heard from any of the Lutz children seem to support the feeling that their former Amityville home was indeed haunted, and that they feared for their very lives. Chris has stated as much on the Amityville Truth message board. The producers for the History Channel documentary have stated that Missy still believes Jodie existed, and that it was not simply the neighbor’s cat. When the “ghost boy” photo was discovered, she remarked that the figure looked like the same boy she played with at the house. George has stated that no member of the family has said the haunting was a hoax, and he believes it is simply an internet rumor.

Why don’t the kids speak publicly and either confirm or deny the haunting?

Unknown, though it is strange referring to them as “kids” when they are all grown adults approaching middle age. Chris has promised a documentary and/or website telling his version of events (perhaps in conjunction with his brother Dan), but nothing has come of it yet.

George understands why they might not want to come public “because of all the distortion that happens when you begin to talk about this kind of thing.” I imagine being ridiculed and seeing George & Kathy being called liars and frauds would cause them to think twice before speaking in public.

The "Kids" from what I heard went into "Hiding" away from all the publicity. It was something that George and Kathy did not want the kids having publicity around them and asking them questions. I heard that George and Kathy did not want them to hear Skeptics and some media people calling them liars. I also heard something about an incident with a reporter and Missy. I think it was something about some reporter kept on asking Missy about Jodie, which Missy kept on replying that Jodie was real but the reporter was trying to make her say she wasn't. Eventually Missy started crying and Kathy got furious at the guy and kicked him out the door.

It might have been also something about reporters showing up at the kids' school.

Chris talked a lot back in 2005. He and George were in legal battles. He said the book was heavily exaggerated. He said George caused the haunting.

So, again,,,the "children" would be adults now, no need to protect them any more. Someone must know where they are, but perhaps if it was really all a hoax, they are still hiding. They would still be in an awkward position,,,today, if all is a hoax,,, George and Kathy were still their parents, and they of course would not wish to constantly defend their now deceased parents for their fraudulent claims of the happenings at the house. Their love of their parents, may be more important, than telling the world anything about this story. That is understandable.
