Summary

Grant Amato was a 32 year old man from Orlando that grew up with his mom, dad, and 2 older brothers Cody and Jason. They were said to be a tight-knit family that was very successful, loving and did everything together. Until one day Grant got fired from his nursing job and had trouble finding a new one leading him to live at his parents home online all day. This is when Grant met a cam girl named “Silvie” and his whole world would flip upside down. He became obsessed with Silvie, spending every moment with her and all his money on her. In a couple months he stole over 200K from family and friends and spent it all on Silvie. His parents decided enough was enough and confronted Grant about his spending habits then kicked him out of the house. The next day, Grant’s mom, dad, and brother Cody were all found dead in the home. Although all signs pointed to Grant, would the police have enough evidence to point him to the time of the crime?
