The East Hampton home of Ammon, a financier murdered in 2001, has been the focal point of a sensational and tragic narrative that has captivated the public for years. The story took numerous twists, including the trial of his wife Generosa's handyman, Daniel Pelosi, and Generosa's own untimely death from breast cancer. Ammon's son, Greg, sought to process the trauma of his childhood through his 2012 documentary titled "59 Middle Lane," named after their family home. Generosa, who had a troubled upbringing in California's foster system, embraced her role as a high-society wife after marrying Ammon. Following his murder, she moved into a luxurious apartment while undergoing extensive renovations on a nearby townhouse. Her affair with Pelosi, a man with a troubled past, deepened as he became a fixture in her life and that of her twins, Alexa and Greg. However, the relationship soured after Ammon's death, leading Generosa to distance herself from Pelosi. Ammon's body was discovered by his business partner in October 2001, prompting a series of legal battles. By 2003, Generosa had moved her children back to Middle Lane and excluded Pelosi from her will, but she passed away shortly after. A custody dispute ensued between the children's nanny and Ammon's sister, highlighting the ongoing turmoil within the family. Testimony during the trial implicated Pelosi, yet prosecutors struggled to establish his presence at the crime scene, leaving lingering questions about the case. In 2021, Greg commemorated his father's death on social media, reflecting on the enduring impact of the tragedy.
