A documentary filmmaker reached out to Aqua Survey after extensive research of police files of the 1974 homicide case which inspired the Amityville Horror franchise.  This new series would examine some never fully answered questions in the murder investigation.

Aqua Survey towed an EM (electromagnetic) array behind one of our vessels, resulting in 317 metal objects located and mapped to within inches of accuracy. Aqua Survey’s geophysicists used this data to generate a small list of high-priority targets.

An Aqua Survey vessel placed the recovery dive team over each target location. An EM-tipped probe was then hand-pushed into the sediment to further pinpoint each object. Once the probe was in close proximity to the target, a diver was splashed to investigate.
