Point Blank!
Mary Jo Buttafuoco had no idea that when she answered the door to her home on Adam Road
Westin Long Island, N.Y., on May 19, 1992, her life would be forever changed. At the door was a
teenaged girl with flowing brown hair who wanted to know if she was the wife of Joey Buttafuoco.
When Mary Jo said she was, the girl suggested that they talk about her husband.

Mary Jo then stepped outside the house and asked the girl what she
wanted. To Mary Jos surprise, the girl said Joey was having an affair
with her 16-year-old sister. Mary Jo brusquely asked the girl who she
was and where she lived. The girl told her that she was Ann Marie and
she lived on Dolphin Court.
As Mary Jo was talking, she noticed a car parked in front of her house with a young man sitting in the
drivers seat. She asked who was in the car and the girl said that it was her boyfriend. Changing the
subject, the girl told her she had proof of the affair and held up a T-shirt with the logo "Complete Auto
Body and Fender, Inc." There was no doubt that the shirt was from her husbands business, but it didnt
strike Mary Jo as proof of an affair, because her husband had given away many of the shirts.
Angered by the girls accusations, Mary Jo decided to end the conversation. She demanded that the girl
get off her property and Mary Jo turned to go into the house to call Joey. Suddenly, the girl brandished
a .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol from her pocket and struck Mary Jo in the head with the weapon.
According to Maria Eftimiades in her book, Lethal Lolita,the girl then aimed the gun at Mary Jos
right temple and fired.
The girl then dropped the shirt she was carrying and the gun and ran off toward the waiting car. The
young man sitting in the vehicle ordered her to go back and grab the shirt and the weapon. The girl
recovered the items, raced back to the car, and took off down the street.
Three neighbors heard the shots and ran to see where the noise had originated. The men made their
way toward the Buttafuocos home, where they saw Mary Jo lying sprawled out on her front porch,
bleeding profusely from her head. Another neighbor immediately dialed 911, hoping that an ambulance
would make it to the scene before Mary Jo died. At the time, she was still alive but her pulse was
weakening.

Within minutes, the ambulance was there and they rushed Mary Jo to the hospital. While police
attempted to locate her husband, doctors prepared to perform surgery on Mary Jo. They knew they
were fighting an uphill battle judging by the horrific wound on her head.
Police remained at the scene to determine what had actually happened. There was no sign of robbery
and it seemed unlikely that it was a mafia hit, since the victim was a housewife. What they didnt know
at the time was that the shooter was a 17-year-old girl named Amy Fisher. Moreover, Amy, not her
fictitious sister, was the alleged lover of Mary Jos husband.

News of the shooting and the suspected love triangle spread across
the country like wildfire. Amidst the flurry of fact and fiction was the
true story waiting to be exposed -- one more complex than initially
realized. It was a story that would shock the world and eventually
transform perceptions of Amy as a ruthless young woman to a victim
herself.

Growing Up Fast
On August 21, 1974, Amy Elizabeth was born to Roseann and Elliot Fisher of Wantagh, Long Island.
She would be the couples only child. According to a book written by Amy Fisher with Sheila Weller,
Amy Fisher:My Story, Amys childhood was far from normal. In fact, it would be considered by
many to be traumatic.

Amy Fisher as a child

From early on, there appeared to be signs of distress within the family.
According to Fisher and Weller, it was suggested that she and her
father had a troublesome relationship to the point that she would
purposely avoid him during her youth because he terrified her. The
relationship greatly affected her and eventually influenced her later
behavior towards men.

Conversely, she had a close and loving relationship with her mother while growing up. Amy also
forged an intimate bond with her maternal aunt and grandmother, with whom she spent a great deal of
time as a child. The relationships would prove to be her source of strength and support when the
problems with her father became difficult to endure.
During her youth, Amy suffered from several traumatic events that would forever change her life. As a
young child, she alleged that a family member sexually abused her repeatedly. She experienced yet
another traumatic event at the age of thirteen, when a contractor hired to make repairs in the family
house raped her as she lay in her own bed.
The shocking events profoundly impacted Amys life. She resorted to numbing her emotions in an
attempt to deal with the pain inflicted on her. It was all she could do to survive.
During her school years, Amy made a lot of female acquaintances and formed several close
relationships with some of her classmates. She also embarked on a series of romantic relationships in
her mid-teens, one of which resulted in a pregnancy and eventual abortion. Although she cared deeply
for the young men she dated, none would compare to the man she would meet in the summer of 1991.

Chance Meeting
One day in late May, while trying to maneuver her car out of the garage at her house, Amy accidentally
steered the vehicle too close to the garage wall and dislodged the side view mirror. Fearing her fathers
reaction, she hurriedly took the car to a local auto service shop, hoping to have the damage assessed
and repaired before he learned of the accident.
Shortly after her arrival at Complete Auto Body & Fender Inc. in the town of Baldwin, she discovered
that the repairs would be far more than she could afford. Amy was obviously dismayed and explained
her predicament to Joey, the owner of the shop. Fisher and Weller stated that instead of Amy telling her
father the truth, which would certainly land her in trouble, Joey purportedly suggested that she tell him
that someone else hit the car.

Complete Auto Body & Fender garage

Amy took Joeys advice and told her father that someone had sideswiped her car. The next day, she and
her father returned to the garage to discuss repair fees. Amy was impressed with how Joey treated her
father and his charming disposition.
Over the subsequent months, Amy returned often to the service shop for repair work to her mirror.
During her frequent visits, Amy began to develop a romantic interest in the 35-year-old shop owner.

Joey Buttafuoco
Following the repair work on her mirror, Amy decided to have a stereo
system installed in her car. According to Fisher and Weller, while the
work was being completed on July 2, 1991, Joey offered to drive her
home in his car. When he and Amy arrived at her house, Joey made
physical advances towards her in the bedroom, resulting in the two
becoming lovers. It was the beginning of a relationship that would
eventually spiral out of control.

Bad Company
During the first few weeks of their relationship, Joey and Amy went to local motels to spend time
alone together. Despite the fact that Joey was already married and had two children, Amy fell deeper in
love with her older lover.
According to Amy, Joey began to reveal more about his life and on several occasions he discussed with
her how unhappy he was in his marriage. She also said that he hinted at times about getting rid of
Mary Jo, although Joey would later refuse that he ever made the claim. Amy also began to feel as if
she could open up around Joey. She revealed parts of herself to him that she never had with anyone
else at the time. She discovered that in many ways their lives paralleled and their similarities drew
them closer to one another.
Two weeks into the couples relationship, Amy broke out in a rash. After a trip to the gynecologist, she
discovered that she had herpes. There was little doubt where she contracted the viral disease. Amy was
forced to tell her parents about the disease, yet she denied that Joey gave it to her. She feared that they
would charge him with statutory rape and she didnt want anything or anybody getting in the way of her
seeing the man she loved.
In August 1991, Amy began a new job as a salesgirl at Jean Country, a clothing store located in
Massapequas Sunrise Mall. While there, she befriended several other girls whom she became close
with. One in particular, Jane, became her closest confidant, to whom she revealed many intimate
aspects of her relationship with Joey.
Amy wouldnt keep her job long. After approximately a month she was fired and desperate for money,
especially since she bought a new car and had difficulty making the payments. Amy realized that she
needed to find a way to make money and fast. It was during that time that Joey allegedly suggested
that she become an escort with a service named ABBA Escorts.

By late September 1991, Amy was making a substantial amount of money in her new job as a
prostitute. Although she was physically repulsed by the work, she continued to do it in order to pay off
her car. She also continued her relationship with Joey, but it was beginning to get out of control.

Obsession
Amys education suffered and her friendships began to fall apart. She distanced herself from her closest
family members and became increasingly dependent on Joey. Moreover, her feelings for him were
becoming obsessive. For the first time in the relationship, Joeys wife, Mary Jo, posed a real threat to
Amy. She stood in the way of Amys goal of having Joey all to herself.
By November of that year, Amy decided that she was going to give Joey an ultimatum he had to
choose between her and his wife. When she presented him with the options, Joey chose his wife. Amy
was shocked and saddened by his decision and she broke off the relationship.
Unable to come to terms with the course her life and the relationship had taken, Amy tried to kill
herself by slitting her wrists. Fortunately, she did not succeed and her wounds were not severe enough
to warrant medical attention. She decided to give life another try and, with the support of her mother
and some friends, she tried to overcome the pain of the breakup.
Yet, it wasnt easy for Amy. Even though she and Joey had separated, she continued to have strong
feelings for him and jealousy towards his wife. She became so curious about Mary Jo that on one
occasion, Amy posed as a girl selling candy door-to-door in order to catch a glimpse of Joeys wife.
By the time January 1992 rolled around, Joey and Amy had gotten back together. At the same time,
Amy was also having a relationship with another man, Paul Makely, who was the co-owner of a gym
called Future Physique. Joey didnt seem fazed by Amys part-time prostitution, which she used to make
extra money. However, according to Eftimiades, he was hurt and jealous when he learned about her
relationship with Paul.

Paul Makely
In order to keep the men from butting heads, Amy decided to
downplay her interest in Paul. Her main concern was Joey and she had
no intention of jeopardizing the relationship with him any further. In
fact, she made plans to be rid of any threat that could come between
them, specifically his wife, Mary Jo.

A Deadly Plan
On May 13, 1992 Amy went into The Quintessential Look, a salon where her friend Jane worked.
She hoped that her friend could help her achieve a new look by coloring and styling her hair. While
Jane was doing her hair, the two began a conversation that would change Amys life.

Jane complained that her boyfriend was cheating on her with another girl. Amy stated in her book that
Jane threatened to get a gun and blow her head off if the girl didnt leave her boyfriend alone. Even
though it was likely that Jane was only speaking figuratively, the comment gave Amy an idea.
Amy asked Jane if she knew where she could get a gun because she wanted to finally get rid of Joeys
wife for good. Jane mentioned that Peter Guagenti, also known as Petey G, might be able to help. It
was the beginning of a plan that would have disastrous consequences.
That night, Amy alleged that she told Joey about her plan to kill his wife. Fisher and Weller stated that
when Joey was told of the plan he assisted Amy by telling her how to carry it out. According to Amy,
Joey told her, When she (Mary Jo) answers it (the door), dont even wait for her to open the screen
door. Just shoot and keep shooting. However, Joey would later claim that he never instructed Amy how
to get rid of his wife and that she was simply lying.
On May 15, Joey contacted Amy on her beeper. Amy said that he called to find out if she was able to
obtain the gun, which she had not yet received. She also claimed that Joey asked whether she received
money from Paul that he allegedly owed her. He wanted her to end the relationship with Paul once and
for all. Amy assured him that she and Paul were no longer seeing each other. In fact, they had gotten
into an argument the night before and had broken off the relationship.
Two days later, Amy stole some license plates to be used on the fateful day. According to Amy, she and
Peter Guagenti put the stolen license plates on his Thunderbird and drove to the Buttafuoco residence
shortly before 11:30 a.m.
She stated that during the ride to the house, Peter handed her a Titan .25 semi-automatic gun from the
glove compartment. Amy had initially expected him to carryout the shooting. However, Amy claimed
that he refused and she was forced to follow through with the plan by herself.
Eventually, Amy went up to the house and confronted Mary Jo. After almost 15 minutes of
conversation, Amy summoned up the nerve to shoot her rival. It would not turn out as she had planned.

Not long after the shooting, Mary Jos limp body was discovered on her porch. She was immediately
taken to Nassau Community Medical Center emergency room, where they scheduled her for surgery.
Judging by the wounds there was little chance of survival, but Mary Jo was luckier and tougher than
anyone had ever imagined.
After many hours in the operating room, doctors were able to stabilize Mary Jos condition. However,
they were unable to remove the bullet from her head. Her chances of survival were slightly increased,
yet no one was sure if she was going to pull through.
During her operation, detectives interviewed Joey. They were trying to understand how such a
senseless crime could have occurred. They also wanted any leads that could help them identify the
shooter. Joey gave them more information than they bargained for.

An Unexpected Witness
One of the primary investigators involved in the case was Detective Martin Alger. He learned from an
officer who had questioned Joey earlier that there were two people that he knew who could have been
involved in the shooting. One was Paul Makely and the other his girlfriend, Amy.
Alger further questioned Joey about the two possible suspects. Joey stated that Pauls girlfriend was
also a friend of his. He suggested that Paul had been involved in drugs and that his girlfriend had given
him some money to pay off a debt. Joey told the detective that he told his friend (Amy) that loaning

Paul the money was a mistake. Joey suggested that Paul found out about his advice to Amy and wanted
vengeance.
Alger found the story difficult to believe, yet, it was all he had to go on. That is, until May 20, when
Mary Jo regained consciousness.
Alger immediately visited Mary Jos bedside. It seemed that she would recover from the shooting and
he wanted to see if she was able to remember anything about the incident. If so, it would help the case
considerably.
Mary Jo revealed that the shooter was a teenage girl with brown hair named Ann Marie, who lived on
Dolphin Court. She also told Alger about the young man in the maroon car and that the girl claimed
that he was her boyfriend. She also remembered that the girl showed her one of Joeys shirts. It was
becoming increasingly clear that Joey was more involved in the incident than initially believed, if only
indirectly.
Not long after Mary Jo was interviewed, Joey told the detective that he thought he knew who might
have been involved in the shooting. He believed that the shooter was Amy Fisher. He told Alger that he
though it was Amy because he had given her the T-shirt that Mary Jo said she had seen at the time of
the shooting. Even though the story didnt exactly fit with Joeys previous story, Alger followed up on
the lead.
Alger got a photo of Amy and took it to Mary Jo. To Algers surprise, Mary Jo identified Amy as the
person who had tried to kill her just days before. An arrest warrant for Amy was quickly secured
following the positive identification. That same day, the police staked out Amys house, although they
doubted she would have risked staying there if she was the assailant.
On May 21st, Alger was becoming impatient after not having seen any hint of Amys presence at the
house. He decided that his luck would probably be better if he could coax Joey into calling her. Alger
paid Joey a visit and instructed him to call Amy to find out where she was. Joey agreed hesitantly and
he managed to contact her. Once the police established that Amy was at home, they arrested her.

Arrest
Shortly after the police arrested Amy, she learned that Joey was responsible for her capture, although
she had difficulty believing it was true. Eventually, Amy admitted that she was indeed at the scene
when Mary Jo was shot. However, she claimed that the shooting was an accident -- that the gun
inadvertently went off and hit Mary Jo in the head.
During the interview with Amy, she refused to reveal the names of Paul or Jane, hoping to protect them
from what she was going through. Instead, she falsely declared that Joey had given her the gun used to
shoot Mary Jo. She also admitted that she and Joey were lovers.
Investigators were extremely confused by parts of Amys testimony. Her stories changed constantly and
they had difficulty telling fact from fiction. It became increasingly clear to the police that Amy was
trying to protect someone, exactly who was not clear. The interview had almost completely destroyed
her credibility.
Eventually police learned about Jane and her possible involvement in the shooting. However, Janes
mother was quick to protect her daughter by getting a lawyer. Eventually, Jane would escape any
charges. There was simply no proof that Jane was ever involved.
Investigators also tried to go after Paul. They suspected that he was also involved in the plot to kill
Mary Jo and may have been driving the car on the day of the shooting. However, when a neighbor of

the Buttafuocos claimed that Paul was not the person who she had seen in the waiting car, he was no
longer a suspect. The police were still eager to know if Joey was linked with the shooting, why Amy
went after Mary Jo and the identity of the Thunderbirds driver.

Opinions and Perceptions

On May 22, investigators interviewed Joey at the police station. Their main purpose for bringing him
in was to determine whether he had actually given the gun to Amy as she had confessed or if she was
lying. When asked if he supplied her with the weapon, Joey adamantly denied that he did.
Joey knew that the police had no evidence connecting him directly with the crime. However, he also
realized that he would have a difficult time keeping out of the press the fact that he had an affair with
Amy. The police were already gathering evidence including receipts for the motels and eyewitness
accounts that they had been seen together.
The tabloids and talk shows picked up the sensational news story. Plastered on the front page of many
of the magazines were headlines like Fatal Attraction and Long Island Lolita. Moreover, some of the
more popular talk shows at the time were competing to have as their guests anyone who had ever been
connected with Amy, Joey or Mary Jo.
The media courted Amys ex-boyfriends, friends and acquaintances, as well as some of her former
clients from her days as a prostitute. One client in particular, Peter DeRosa, had sold a sex tape he had
made of himself and Amy to a tabloid news program called A Current Affair. The tape would prove to
be very damaging to Amys public image because it depicted her as a wild and careless sex maniac. It
would also prove to be damaging to her case.
On May 29, a grand jury indicted Amy for attempted murder in the second degree, criminal use of a
firearm in the first degree, armed felony, assault, and other charges. Amy pled not guilty to the
indictment. Her bail hearing was scheduled for later that week at Nassau County Criminal Court.
The night before her bail hearing, DeRosas sex tape was aired on national television. Amys lawyer,
Eric W. Naiburg, knew that it was likely that the tape would be problematic for the case. Her image
and credibility had been harmed almost beyond repair and he hoped that the tape would not be used
against her in court.
On June 2, Judge Marvin Goodman presided over Amys bail hearing. During the court proceedings,
Assistant District Attorney Fred Klein from the NassauCounty DAs office argued that Amy was an
uncontrollable, manipulative, violent and extremely dangerous girl. He further emphasized Amys
reckless behavior by bringing up the fact that she was a prostitute and that she actually stole clients
from the escorting services to make money on the side.
Klein suggested that Amy was a great risk to society and that she should be denied bail. However, he
stated that if the bail had to be set, he suggested it be for $2 million. It was by any standard an
enormous amount of money; Naiburg objected vigorously.

Eric Naiburg
Yet, Naiburgs plea was ignored. The judge set Amys bail at $2 million.
According to Eftimiades, the amount of the bail was at the time the
highest in the history of NassauCounty, Long Island. Naiburg was
enraged and was determined to get the bail reduced to a more
practical sum. He knew there was little if any risk that Amy would
flee. He just had to prove it somehow. He arranged a new bail hearing
for June 6.
Between the first and second bail hearing, two of Amys acquaintances appeared on national television
and further injured her reputation. During the televised interviews, the two young men claimed that
Amy used them for sex in an attempt to procure a gun to be used in the shooting. Although Amy later
denied the entire account, the damage had been done.
During the second bail hearing, Klein used Amys notorious reputation as a sexual manipulator to keep
the bail at $2 million. According to Fisher and Weller, Klein told the court that Amy was a bail risk and
that she would likely slide into that sleazy world [of prostitution] and shell be able to support herself
very well and no one would ever find her. Once again, Klein managed to sway the judge and the bail
remained at its record-breaking amount.

Temporary Freedom
In the meantime, Joey remained completely in the clear. He was so confident of his innocence that in
June 1992 he called The Howard Stern Show and suggested that he never cheated on his wife, denying
that he ever had an affair with Amy. There was a great deal of skepticism about Joeys claim, yet he
continued to maintain his innocence. His entire family, including Mary Jo, also supported Joeys
claims, refusing to believe that he had any involvement in the shooting or relationship with Amy.
To many people's surprise, after more than two months in jail, Amy was finally released on bail. KLM
Productions, their agent Ron Yatter, and the owner of International Fidelity Insurance Company
reached an agreement with the president of Nationwide Bail Bond, Ron Olszowy, to secure Amys bail
bond after they had successfully raised the $2 million needed for her temporary release. KLM
Productions helped raise the money in exchange for the rights to Amys story. It was an unconventional
move but a victory nevertheless for both Amy and Naiburg.
A little more than a week later, Mary Jo filed a lawsuit against Amy, her parents and Peter Guagenti,
who admitted a month earlier to supplying Amy with the gun used in the shooting. The weapon, which
was later found in a sewer near Amys house, was important evidence. Joey and Mary Jo hoped that the
testimony and physical evidence would be enough to keep Amy behind bars for a long time. If Amy
was found guilty of the charges, she could receive up to 50 years in jail.

Naiburg wanted to make sure Amy would not spend the majority of her life behind bars. Naiburg made
an agreement with Klein, in which Amy would receive between five to fifteen years in jail and
immunity in exchange for testimony against Joey. Much to the Buttafuocos outrage, Amy accepted a
plea bargain in late September 1992.
Two days after the announcement of the plea bargain, a potentially damaging tape was aired on the
television news program Hard Copy. Amys ex-boyfriend Paul Makely secretly made the video the day
before she accepted the plea bargain. In the tape, Paul and Amy were having a conversation about what
Amy would like before she went to prison. Amy jokingly stated that she wanted a Ferrari for all the
pain and suffering she endured. She also stated that she hoped Paul would marry her so she could have
conjugal visits.
Even though much of the dialog was stated in a humoristic tone, it did not win Amy any public
acceptance. In fact, it further damaged her credibility. Amy was so distraught over Pauls betrayal that
shortly after the tape aired, she tried to commit suicide by taking an overdose of tranquilizers.
However, her attempt was discovered in the nick of time. After Amys stomach was pumped, she was
admitted to the psychiatric unit of HuntingtonHospital where she made a gradual recovery over a
month.

Joey and Mary Jo Buttafuoco

In late October 1992, a representative of NassauCountys DAs office stated that they would not
prosecute Joey in connection with the crime. The Buttafuocos were relieved by the decision and Joey
announced that he was finally exonerated.
Amy would not be so lucky. She was sentenced for up to 15 years in Albion Correctional Facility
prison in December of that year. Joey Guagenti, the wheelman of the car, was also sentenced the
following February. He received six months in jail for obtaining a gun for Amy.

Awakening Justice
In February 1993, the NassauCounty DAs office announced that it would reopen the case against
Joey in relation to statutory rape charges made by Amy. He had not been absolved from any
wrongdoing, as he had initially believed. In actuality, there was just not enough evidence available to
prosecute him at the time, yet the case remained open.

Freeport Motor Inn

In the spring of 1993, Amy was escorted from jail and brought before a grand jury to testify against
Joey. She told how Joey had taken her to various motels and engaged in sexual relations with her from
the age of 16. The jury was also shown evidence, such as receipts from the hotels that further
supported Amys testimony.

Hotel receipts
Mary Jo also gave testimony before the grand jury, but on behalf of her husband. She accused Amy of
lying and repeatedly claimed that her husband did not cheat on her. Despite her pleas, Joey was
indicted on felony charges of rape and sodomy. He was also charged with endangering the welfare of a
minor. Joey pled not guilty and was led from the grand jury in handcuffs, professing his innocence as
he walked away.
Over the months, the DAs office was able to accumulate a great deal of evidence against Joey. So
much so that Joeys chances of being absolved of the crime were extremely low. Joeys realization of
this led him to change his plea to guilty to one count of statutory rape during his trial in October 1993.
He served six months for the crime.
After his release, he moved to Los Angelesand pursued an acting career. He also temporarily hosted
a cable TV show, appeared in some television spots and briefly starred in cameo roles in several
movies. In 1995, Joey was arrested again for violating his parole by soliciting sex from an undercover
policewoman posing as a prostitute.
In the spring of 2003, Joey and Mary Jo divorced after 26 years of marriage. Their divorce was said to
have been amicable. According to an Associated Press report in May 2003, Joey stated that he was
okay with the divorce and that they were both seeing other people anyway.

Joey charged with fraud

Joey appeared once again in the news after he was charged later that
same year for being involved in an auto insurance scam. USA Today
stated in their January 2004 article that he told undercover
investigators how to file phony insurance claims for undamaged cars.
He is expected to go on trial some time in 2004. If Joey is found guilty
of the fraud charges brought against him, he could face up to six and
a half years in prison.

After serving a seven-year sentence, Amy was finally released from jail and remained on parole until
2003. Since her release, she has worked a series of jobs, including that of a columnist for a biweekly
newspaper named the New Island Ear. In an attempt to get on with her life, Amy has changed her
name, pursued an education and altered her appearance.

Amy Fisher
In 2003, Amy married the father of her toddler son, a man 24 years
her senior named Lou. They continue to live in New York, where he
has a business. Amy stated in one of her columns that she admitted
to having screwed up, but she believes that she has paid her dues to
society and continues to make a great effort at being a kinder person.
Currently she has started her own business selling arts and crafts
online. She is also working on a book concerning kids and violence,
using her negative experiences to make a more positive difference in
other people's lives.
