Crime Investigation: Murder of Ted Ammon
Ted Ammon Murder The murder of Robert Theodore Ammon, known as Ted Ammon, shocked the east end community. Nobody had been murdered in East Hampton in over 20 years. The 52 year old banker was very popular with his business colleagues. His private life seemed ideal, two adopted children, five homes and luxury cars. Some facts seemed very ominous though, one being the vicious divorce Ted Ammon was involved in with his wife Generosa. The murder was centered around Danny Pelosi and Generosa Ammon. Pelosi was a high school dropout with a rap sheet filled mostly with drunk driving charges. His situation was nothing to get excited about until he came in contact with Ted Ammon’s wife Generosa. Generosa was said to be having an affair with Danny Pelosi, a young contractor. Pelosi was quoted as saying “I thought I hit the lottery.” Who wouldn’t think the same? In 2000, Generosa actually began dating her new boyfriend, the electrician named Danny Pelosi, whom she hired to supervise a $4 million dollar renovation of her new Manhattan townhouse. Ted Ammon was murdered in 2001, it was “a big question mark” said David Moore, chairman of 24/7 Media Inc., an online ad agency on whose board Ammon had served as chairman until this spring. It had been an entire month and nothing had been found. No suspects had been identified, no arrests made, no murder weapon found, and no clear motive given for the slaying.
Ted Ammon was murdered on October 20, 2001. His body was not found until October 22, 2001 by a co-worker who went to the home when Ammon missed multiple obligations. This date was just days before the divorce papers were to be signed between Ted and Generosa. This was about a year after Generosa had begun dating Danny Pelosi serving to make them both suspects in the murder.
Danny Pelosi was arrested March 24, 2004. He claimed to not knowing anything about Ted being murdered at this point. It was not until June of 2004 that Danny saw the autopsy pictures of Ted Ammon

    Theodore Robert Cowell was born in a Vermont home on 24 November 1946. . He was raised in a middle class family environment. His mother was a department store clerk. During Bundy’s early childhood, he and his mother resided with his psychologically challenged grandfather in Philadelphia. He was raised initially by his grandparents. Teddy, as he was known, believed that his grandparents were his parents, and that his mother was his elder sister. When his mother married Johnnie Bundy in 1951, her son took his stepfather’s name, and was known thereafter as Ted Bundy. On 4 January 1974, Joni Lenz became one of the few women to survive Bundy’s brutal attacks, but her vicious rape, with a bedpost, caused her massive permanent damage. 21-year-old Lynda Ann Healy, a slender, pretty, long haired law student, was not as fortunate, and her disappearance on 31 January 1974 did not initially alarm the police. Bundy moved on to Utah, taking another four victims during October and November, one of whom turned out to be the daughter of the local police chief, and no effort was spared to track down the killer. Bundy went on trial in Utah on 23 February 1976, for the aggravated kidnapping of Daronch. Ted confessed to over 30 murders, but the actual number remains a mystery. It is estimated that the number of people could be from 26 up to 100. His reign of terror lasted from 1973 to 1978.…

    “Exactly what happened sometime after ten o'clock on the Sunday night of June 12, 1994 is still disputed, but most likely a single male came through the back entrance of Nicole Brown Simpson's condominium on Bundy Drive in the prestigious Brentwood area of Los Angeles. In a small, nearly enclosed area near the front gate, the man brutally slashed Nicole, almost severing her neck from her body. Then he struggled with and repeatedly--about thirty times--stabbed Ronald Goldman.

Because of only having one-parent, Ted was already at an astounding 43 percent risk to becoming a serial killer according to the FBI. Ted was raised by his grandmother and step-grandfather, Johnnie Bundy, taking his “step-father’s” last name and receiving the name he would then possess for life. Johnnie was known to have a temper and a liking for pornography and although Ted and his step-father weren’t particularly close, there was no abuse and a fair bit of stability in Ted’s life. Ted was later introduced to some of Johnnie’s bad habits and began to enjoy pornography…
