Ted Ammon came out to East Hampton on his own in his silver Porsche on a crisp autumn Saturday on October 20, 2001. Turning to driveway of his house on Middle Lane always buoyed his spirits. Ted Ammon liked being alone on the weekends after his divorce were nearly done. He had lost almost half of his $80 million fortune, but now he feels that time was more important than money. But he could retain only his house which was his great relief, was this house.
Ammon was A sharp investment banker who had been a senior partner at Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) in the wild LBO days of the 1980s and also a flake who would sometimes do “disappearing acts” as said but one of his colleague, he failed to show himself when he said he would. So Mark Angelson, his partner in a new boutique private equity firm, Chancery Lane Capital, hardly worried when Ammon missed a morning meeting on Monday, October 22.
But when noon passed the household help reported that Ammon didn’t call to make after-school plans for his 11-year-old twins, Alexa and Gregory. This made Angelson very nervous. Angelson called all his numbers repeatedly, at the East Hampton house, the New York apartment, Ammon’s cell, but did not get any answer.
Along with Ammon’s chauffeur, Angelson flew out to the East Hampton Airport on a corporate helicopter, and took a cab to 59 Middle Lane. When they entered the house, they were greeted by Ammon’s three dogs. Angelson called Ammon’s name which didn’t get any response. But they saw trails of blood on stairs Ammon was lying nude on his bed with his head bludgeoned and hands trembling. Angelson called the East Hampton Village Police immediately.
