Summary

Grant Amato was drowning in a world of fantasy—obsessed with a Bulgarian cam girl and willing to do anything to keep the illusion alive. When his family tried to intervene, they had no idea the depths of his desperation. In January 2019, their once-loving son and brother repaid their concern with cold-blooded murder.In this Early Release episode, available exclusively to our Apple and Patreon subscribers, we uncover the shocking case of Grant Amato—the web of lies, the staggering financial ruin, and the brutal execution of his family, all in pursuit of a woman who barely knew he existed.
Content Warning: This episode discusses familicide, financial exploitation, and online obsession. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
