'Long Island Lolita' Amy Fisher's son charged as cops probe possible microwave link in cat's killing

The adult son of notorious "Long Island Lolita" Amy Fisher and his girlfriend are facing felony animal-cruelty charges in the disturbing death of their pet cat, Reaper, according to Florida court records.

Microwave radiation was among the potential causes identified by a forensic veterinarian. The other possibilities were immersion in extremely hot water or exposure to hot-water vapor, according to probable-cause affidavits obtained by Fox News Digital.

The mystery began on Dec. 15, 2024, when a friend of the couple alerted Broward County Animal Care that Reaper had died under potentially unnatural circumstances.

Armenti allegedly told investigators she had awakened that morning and found the cat dead on the bathroom floor. By the time animal-care employees arrived, however, Reaper's body was outside on the apartment's back patio.

Investigators found the cat inside a plastic laundry basket, saying that the cat was "stiff" and positioned unnaturally, with a large amount of blood pooled beneath the body.

Bellera allegedly told an officer that he and Armenti had gone to bed the previous night and discovered the cat dead the following morning. He suggested Reaper may have accidentally consumed cleaning products, according to his affidavit.

But a forensic necropsy conducted through the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals pointed investigators in a far darker direction.

A licensed veterinarian concluded that Reaper suffered fatal injuries caused by extreme heat. Microscopic tissue analysis allegedly indicated the exposure did not kill the cat immediately, meaning Reaper endured severe pain before dying, the affidavits say.

Bellera's case was filed on June 3, 2026, and records show he was arrested the following day. Armenti was arrested later that month. Each posted a $25,000 bond, and both dockets reference electronic-monitoring or house-arrest agreements. Both have pleaded not guilty, and their cases remain active.

Bellera is Fisher's eldest son with her former husband, retired NYPD officer Louis Bellera.

Dubbed the "Long Island Lolita," Fisher first met Joey Buttafuoco when her father brought his car into the 35-year-old's auto shop.

Mary Jo survived, but she still has the bullet in her head.
