Shocking Case Unravels: Four Indicted for Brutal Murder and Dismemberment on Long Island
A Grim Discovery
In a chilling crime that sent shockwaves through Long Island, a gruesome discovery of severed body parts led authorities on a harrowing investigation. Investigators recovered the remains of two victims, Malcolm Brown, 53, and Donna Conneely, 59, scattered across multiple locations: Southards Pond Park, Bethpage State Park, and a wooded area in West Babylon.
The Suspects
Four individuals have been indicted in connection with this heinous crime:
- Jeffrey Mackey, 36
- Alexis Nieves, 33
- Steven Brown, 44
- Amanda Wallace, 40
A Calculated Act
According to prosecutors, the suspects lured the victims to a house in Amityville, where they allegedly stabbed them to death on February 27, 2024. With chilling precision, they dismembered the bodies in a bathroom and disposed of the remains across various locations.
Evidence mounts
Investigators meticulously searched the Amityville home, uncovering a grim scene. Bloodstains were found throughout the residence, along with two meat cleavers and other large knives.
Outrage over Bail
Initially, the four suspects were released without bail due to reduced bail guidelines. This decision sparked outrage among law enforcement and the victims’ families.
Justice Served
Following a grand jury investigation, the suspects were indicted on upgraded charges, including murder. During Monday’s arraignment, Judge William Condon ordered Mackey to be held without bail and set bail for Nieves at million cash or million bond. Both men will face trial on June 3.
Wallace and Brown, who had yet to be booked, were scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday. Additional charges against the group include conspiracy, evidence tampering, and concealment of a corpse.
Amityville Horror Connection
In an eerie twist of fate, the house where the suspects resided is just a short distance from the infamous “Amityville Horror” house, where a series of unexplained events haunted the DeFeo family in the 1970s.
