00:09there are people in this world whose life is filled with loneliness over like the last six
00:15months i had been bummed out just because like i've been out of work and they will go to any
00:20left to fix that i've been talking to this woman online she lives in bulgaria she is in love with
00:28him and he is in love with her there was like that emotional connection a virtual girlfriend i guess
00:34you could say life is grand the problem is none of us true not even remotely true who did this
00:41to
00:42your family i don't know are there overseas connections do they know where the money was
00:48going or is this something more bizarre he was fixated what will he do to prevent his fantasy
00:57world from being destroyed he was gonna pay care of it for me uh-oh
01:07i spent my career closing murder cases but i'm not the only one who answered the call
01:16it takes a rare breed to solve the unsolvable to catch a ruthless killer to find justice for the dead
01:27that's what it takes to be an american detective
01:56he hasn't missed a day in five years so people become alarmed
02:01when the totally reliable cody amato is not where he's supposed to be
02:09deputies from the seminole county sheriff's department arrive at the family home
02:16deputy sheriff doesn't get any response after making numerous attempts to try to alert
02:21anybody who's inside the house knocked on every window every door we gotta go around back this way
02:30they've jimmy to open the french doors with a pocket knife
02:35three five thirty we'll be clearing the residence sheriff's office
02:39when they entered the home the police they found a pretty grisly scene
02:44with blood everywhere and a dead body in the kitchen and another body in another room
02:53and a third dead body
02:57we need backup we need homicide detectives we need crime scene people we need everything
03:05my name is eva marie multeri and i was an investigator at the seminole county sheriff's office
03:11right out of high school i became a nurse of nine years and then i had an opportunity to switch
03:16careers
03:16and go into law enforcement i always had a lifelong dream of that i really enjoyed the adrenaline and just
03:24being there for the families
03:28i received the call from the road that we have three bodies and it's all hands on deck
03:34it definitely is a shock for the area chuliotta is not a place that we go for homicides
03:41primary activities out there are horseback riding folks have target shooting in their backyard it's very country
03:52detective maltari arrives and is briefed by officers first on the scene
03:57three members of this family are dead in this house a common police expression for such a crime is a
04:04family wipeout
04:07a crime scene when you first enter a crime scene that magnitude with three bodies you're observing
04:13everything crime scenes will speak to you if you listen the difficulty is crime scenes only whisper
04:21so you have to pay strict attention to what you're observing
04:26in the kitchen multeri finds the body of the father chad amato age 59
04:35i observed the male lying on his back there was a lot of blood around him he had two gunshot
04:41wounds to the head
04:44he also had a gun holster on his hip that certainly stood out
04:50it is unusual for someone to carry a weapon in their own home however they're obviously a gun enthusiast
04:58family there were a number of firearms located a shotgun rifles a number of pistols the amatos
05:04were avid gun folks we noticed the gun on his hip didn't look like it he attempted to take it
05:11out
05:12the fact that it was not drawn indicates that chad amato didn't know that was coming
05:20whoever shot him did so from behind him there's evidence of him having fallen at the sink there was
05:28blood all over the kitchen blood was smeared on the ground it appeared he was crawling away but then
05:33he was shot in the back of the head a second time it's an execution
05:42there was a lunch box around him it appeared he had just come home from work
05:47multari notices chicken breasts on the kitchen counter that had been thawing
05:52so we're getting ready for dinner when nobody's in any condition to eat
05:58well tari goes into the home office area and finds the body of margaret age 61
06:07the mother of cody and the wife of chad
06:12she was sitting at her desk and she was slumped over she had blood around her face and head that
06:17we
06:17could see she was shot once in the back of the head execution stall there's an expended casing on the
06:25floor and it's a nine millimeter it appeared that margaret was working at her desk and the position that
06:32she was in would make us believe that she had no idea that she was going to be shot
06:44she is playing a computer game and having a glass of wine
06:51when somebody decides to blow her brains up
06:56if she heard someone walking up to her from behind she wouldn't be fearful
07:03no one anticipates being murdered in their own home
07:09margaret never knew what hit her never knew
07:15finally maltari turns her attention toward cody the 31 year old nurse anesthetist that the
07:22co-workers initially called about they found cody in the entryway between the garage and the gym area
07:30he was lying in a fetal position wearing scrubs as if he was coming back home from work
07:36he was shot once in the face and an exit through the back of his head there are no signs
07:41of a
07:41defensive position no signs of a struggle we noticed right near cody's body was a nine millimeter pistol
07:50cody amato was known to carry a firearm so it's not necessarily unusual for a firearm to be next to
07:55his
07:55body it is possible that cody amato had a gun in his hand to fend off the attacker and dropped
08:02it when
08:03he was killed so we have three members of the amato family shot to death with a nine millimeter
08:09what we don't find is any reason why they all needed to die we don't know if chad is involved
08:16because he has a handgun on him we don't know if cody's involved because he has a gun near him
08:21it's like how did this all happen once we saw the three bodies obviously our first thing is to see
08:27if there was any forced entry to see if anybody that the family did not know came in there were
08:31no signs of forced entry all the windows were closed the doors were locked there was nothing
08:36that appeared to be taken either this perpetrator is houdini or he was in the house with their
08:43permission so that's when we determined it had to have been someone they knew who is that someone we don't
08:48know the uniformed officers contact military and explain that there is a woman present cody's
08:56girlfriend it is likely that she's going to know a great deal about what's going on with this family
09:01it's time to question her right away cody's girlfriend was very concerned but she did not know
09:09that cody was dead we eventually had to tell her she was very upset she started telling us about cody
09:18and that they met in nurse anesthetist school cody amato was a very very bright young man very
09:25gregarious kind funny outgoing everyone really liked cody he was uh he was a very positive influence
09:32chad amato was a pharmacist he was successful worked long hours a family man was always there for his boys
09:42margaret was also in the medical field she loved horses she loved the outdoors she was a loving mother
09:49to her three kids military learns there are two other sons in this family a 29 year old son named
09:57grant and
09:58a 36 year old son named jason military asked the obvious question is there anything going on in cody's
10:07life that's causing him to be upset or frightened or angry the girlfriend she said oh yeah he has told
10:15me that there are many arguments going on in the household and it stresses him out
10:22the girlfriend told me that cody received a call the night before
10:26saying that there was a problem at the home and that he needed to leave work and come home and
10:30fix it
10:31he said he had to go deal with some stupid
10:34bullshit with his family in a very angry tongue
10:39he storms off in an obvious state of distress and that was the last time she saw him
10:47so what can that tell you well
10:52after determining that there was no forced entry it did cross our mind that cody killed his parents
10:57and then turned the gun on himself could it be their own son
11:04yeah good
11:08detective maltari is trying to determine what happened to this family shot to death in their own home
11:14looking at the wound in his face
11:17is it possible that cody amato became so distressed with his parents he killed them
11:22and then turned the gun on himself
11:25we were trying to establish if it was a murder suicide but the injuries were not matching up to
11:31that cody's gunshot was to his upper cheek area normally when we see suicide by gun it's to the temple
11:40now it's unlikely that cody has a plastic arm how does he turn a four inch barreled handgun
11:47perpendicular to his face and pull the trigger
11:51it's not going to happen it can't happen
11:55and also what happens with a very close fired pistol is you'll get um burn marks from the gunpowder
12:03he didn't have that
12:05this is not a self-inflicted wound when cody comes home he opens that door and now he's dead
12:15matter of death homicide
12:19once we determined that it was probably not a murder suicide one thing that was suspicious to us
12:25there was a gun on chad amato's waist the holster is cross draw it's on backwards
12:32requiring the gun to be pulled with the left hand chad amato was right-handed and the way the gun
12:38was
12:38positioned it was opposite to how you would draw a pistol and that just didn't make any sense
12:44further this body it's produced a massive amount of blood but there is no blood on the holster
12:52this gun it's put there after the fact
12:56it appeared that the crime scene had been staged
13:00whoever shot chad puts a gun holstered on his belt in an attempt to make it look like he was
13:07armed
13:08and was unable to draw this gun in defense of himself
13:12and then the gun was placed next to cody to make it look as if he shot himself to create
13:18an atmosphere
13:19of murder-suicide and doing the absolutely impossibly worse job of it you think well who is this stupid
13:26son of a bitch who did this
13:32so the next step is multari is going to go speak to the coroner to determine the outcome of the
13:37autopsis
13:38but the coroner notices something interesting about chad amato's body that multari did not notice at the scene
13:46all of his fingers were covered in blood except for one and that would have been the
13:49uh right index finger that was very very clean in the vision of the coroner that someone had taken
13:56that dead hand and carefully cleaned the right index finger that was very odd what would be the purpose of
14:05that the ballistics people and the police laboratory examined the handguns found near the bodies none of
14:14the firearms that were found in the house where a match a different firearm was used for the homicides
14:19so we never found the murder weapon on scene
14:24the killer is still armed which makes him exceedingly dangerous
14:30at this point we were still trying to rule out who could have did this
14:34we needed to talk to the other family members that are still around
14:38cody said this was all about the with his family but there are two other members of this family
14:46that so far are unaccounted for the two other members are grant amato and jason amato
14:52grant did live in the home with the family we don't know what happened to grant if he was a
14:58victim and
14:59escaped saw something jason amato is margaret's son from a previous relationship
15:06raised as a child by the father even though not a natural child still a part of the family
15:12jason was more of an outsider it appeared he was one that just stuck to his own life
15:17stepchildren are often the source of difficulty in families so we'll begin with him
15:26they find jason where he lives they make contact they inform him what's happened
15:32investigators pay close attention to his reactions he was completely shocked he was devastated
15:41those kinds of emotions are very difficult to fake as an explanation for his whereabouts of prior
15:47evening that is ironclad jason didn't do this further they inquire with jason what can you tell us
15:56about grant cody and grant were very close from all accounts grant looked up to cody quite a bit
16:03emulated him hung out with him all the time grant was going to follow in cody's footsteps he became
16:10a nurse he went to a good school he got along just fine but then things around him were kind
16:17of collapsing
16:19jason amato shared with the sheriff's office that there was in fact a family strife with regard to grant
16:26my line of police just lines recorded we have an employee that we're reprimanding
16:30for potential such medication he was working in 2018 for a local hospital here as a nurse and had
16:40gotten trouble for essentially overdosing his patients he has apparently been administering
16:47propofol which is what killed michael jackson he's been giving those to patients it sounds like yeah
16:52the non-prescribed when he spoke to the orlando police department he had indicated that he didn't
16:58agree with the doctors prescribed amounts and was taking it upon himself to give these patients relief
17:03from their ailments grant was someone who is right all the time knows more than other people and is
17:12smarter than other people in the state of florida when you are giving an excessive amount of medication
17:19to a patient it's considered theft and also medical negligence orange county dropped those charges but he
17:25lost his job as a result after grant had the legal troubles he started to spiral downward he was very
17:37depressed and he would find himself at home just in his bedroom gaming a lot on the computer he was
17:44alone
17:45he was lonely he had no direction in that circumstance unsurprisingly you can go into the world of being
17:52online and finding someone to spend time with jason is aware that grant now has a girlfriend and that
18:00they met online and that he is a much happier person than he's been in the recent past
18:07but where is grant what is he up to at this point grant is certainly a person of interest perhaps
18:15even a
18:15suspect it's all hands on deck to try and find him to talk to him we were looking at his
18:22easy pass to
18:23see his way of travel his digital footprint from a cell phone and so we knew kind of an area
18:29where he was at
18:31they knew the car that he was in they knew the plate number so obviously that was put out
18:40some very good sheriff's office deputies uh found that particular car
18:48he was at a hotel in orange county 10 miles away from his home
18:54the police show up to the hotel like armed to the teeth looking for grant all right the car is
19:00clearly
19:01not in the car we need to lock everything down yeah we need to get in this hotel and start
19:05releasing people out yeah the police believe that grant could be involved in this if they're right
19:10he's got a gun and he's deranged definitely that makes him pretty dangerous so they're going to take
19:18precautions when they approach him first here 23 we're going to shut down the hallway
19:26the first thing you hear is a bunch of snaps being unsnapped which is everybody's holsters
19:34are you doing a favor call the other rooms not that room make sure no one call their room and
19:40start
19:40saying hey you need to come out of the room and come downstairs drywall doesn't stop bullets
19:47you quietly move some people away from him and isolate him in a box
19:54we got to go now okay you have everyone out of here then you make an attempt at contact and
20:02see
20:02what happens
20:05you plan for the worst and you hope for the best
20:11want to come out and play grant because we'd like to play with you
20:20to knock on a door and wonder if it's going to end up in gunfire is an activity that focuses
20:26the mind
20:27let's go the world slows down
20:33noise around you stops and you can feel your heartbeat in your fingertips it's quite a moment
20:51the door opens and it's not godzilla it's not even a mothra it's a little skinny kid
20:58it looks like he's scared to death well you must be grant
21:02he's in his nursing uniform and unarmed he's completely compliant with them
21:08i mean i have my my like duffel bag and whatnot in there you guys want to check that
21:15we search the room we find no gun no anything you're being cooperative sir we appreciate that
21:21uh some seminal county detectives want to talk to you when grant is apprehended at the hotel he is not
21:26charged i tell him that his family's dead and he voluntarily went to the seminal county sheriff's office
21:36the forensic team has stayed behind to search the car while detective military and her partner sit
21:42down with grant hi i'm eva hi how are you i'm here so we just want to talk a little
21:49bit and get this
21:50in and out be on our way okay they both know that there's no concrete evidence that ties them to
21:56this
21:56offense they need something from him what do you like to do what do i like to do i like
22:03to watch
22:03anime me and my brother kind of started doing that back five years ago in the beginning we're
22:09just trying to build a rapport with him do you speak japanese i don't i understand a few words
22:15grant was not shy to answer any questions we actually just got uh like a virtual reality
22:22headset thingy for like computer that was kind of fun this isn't normal for knowing that your
22:27family's dead that you're talking to us this calmly and telling us about the things you're interested in
22:32a number of years ago like me and my brother were actually uh like gun enthusiasts we would go like
22:38play shooting we just kept running with it hoping that he would open up to us over like the last
22:43six
22:43months i had been bummed out just because like i've been out of work my dad would like make me
22:48feel
22:48guilty to that grant said he was close with his mother but him and his father had a lot of
22:53tension
22:53my dad the leo type a definitely very overbearing but he would always rationalize that he's just
23:00trying to like secure our future when was the last time that you and your dad did have
23:04you know a heated conversation uh it would be thursday grant explains the night of the murders he
23:12got in a horrible screaming match with his father he was yelling at me to pack my up and just
23:18get out of the
23:18house grant says he left drove around for most of the night and wound up sleeping in his car when
23:27you
23:28left your house everybody was fine yeah everything was fine he explains to the investigators that the
23:37next morning he drives back to his house i saw like a news van and then there might have been
23:45like a cop car
23:50there so i left he decides to turn around and go the other way which is just very odd a
23:59normal person
24:00would drive there talk to the cops do whatever you can to get down to the bottom of what happened
24:05at
24:05your home from then what i searched for like top stories juliot or something like that found what and
24:13then i saw that there was shooting well what was your thoughts when you reviewed this story i was
24:19freaking out and i didn't know what to do grant says that he becomes frightened by this and decides
24:27to get a hotel room what grant is telling these detectives a story that would insult a three-year-old
24:34so what do you think happened i don't know what happened he's obviously lying and he's getting more
24:42agitated now that we keep questioning him about it so they ask him you say you had a heated argument
24:49with your father why did he say you needed to go what was his reason over the past four months
24:57or
24:57something like that i've been talking i've been talking to this woman online grant indicates that
25:02him and his father get into an argument about his girlfriend grant says well he completely disapproves
25:08of my girlfriend sylvie and where's she at she lives in bulgaria right bulgaria bulgaria you say
25:16that's not exactly next door to orlando florida who's she uh she's as embarrassing as it is she's
25:25uh she's a cam she's a cam model a what a cam model
25:31it's like a virtual girlfriend i guess you could say and goes on to explain i buy time to chat
25:37with her
25:37and have her do things for me some of it uh sexual some of it not sexual because there was
25:44like that emotional connection i guess you could say uh between her and me like i i like you know
25:49it felt like like like like a relationship he was telling us that it was his girlfriend and that he
26:00was in love with her and she was in love with him i mean how true can that be you're
26:05paying her for
26:05your time that's not a true relationship but that's what he believed don't say to me i can't
26:12possibly love this girl because i do he is holding on to sanity by a thread what happens if somebody
26:21cuts the thread detectives have learned that the girlfriend of grant is nothing less than a camera
26:31girl who's making a living taking her clothes off for clients who pay her to do so all right silvia
26:39i'm
26:40asking you if you can please pretty please send me one of your videos so how much do you think
26:49you spent
26:49um probably close to like two hundred thousand dollars two hundred thousand dollars yeah wow grant
27:00you are a major problem to spend that much money on someone you don't even know i was completely shocked
27:10he'd never met her in person but he was giving her thousands of dollars per day he was buying her
27:17a
27:17variety of gifts lingerie and sex toys and all kinds of things he's told sylvie that he's very wealthy
27:25he drives a bmw that he's a very successful twitch gamer nice and just has a great life
27:34grant is living in a fantasy world in reality he's a little jerk that lives with his parents and
27:42is unemployed and where'd the money come from money came from me my brother and then my dad did they
27:49know where the money was going they didn't know that it was going to a cam model these suspicious
27:54charges kept popping up and for a while grant was explaining that it was part of his twitch gaming
28:00profile and then the amounts just were out of control that's kind of how they figured out
28:04something was going on he was stealing tens of thousands of dollars from his father and cody
28:10instead of involving the police the amados because they love their son decided to try to handle it as a
28:17family unit
28:21my father chose to admit me to a depression or an addiction clinic or something like that in fort lauderdale
28:29they decide that they're going to take him away from social media computers and they take away his
28:35cell phone and take away it all now the problem there is that this was a unique type of addiction
28:40that required unique care that rehab facility was not tailored to that specific type of addiction
28:46so their final diagnosis that he was what that i was fine he's supposed to be there for six to
28:52eight
28:52weeks and the second week his mother shows up and takes him out
29:00and when i came back my dad he had this list of all the rules and his dad drafts up
29:07this two-page
29:09agreement of the things he's supposed to do like get a job stay off the computer pay back the money
29:15you
29:16stole it from everyone and one of the stipulations was that if you speak to this woman again you're
29:21out of the house i'm kicking you out grant doesn't take that very well
29:29he disregards the agreement because there was like that emotional connection i didn't want to
29:34stop cold turkey on it he was addicted to sylvie he loved being on that high and that's why he
29:40would
29:40continue stealing the money to keep in touch with her on thursday he had apparently found out that i
29:46was speaking to her again dad gets very upset tells him to pack his and get the hell out so
29:55according
29:55to grant he was out of there by nine he had threatened me that if i still put back on
30:00his
30:00property that he would kill me and like he had he said those specific words yeah according to grant
30:05he'd been thrown out of the house and that's why he wasn't there for the murders he's trying to give
30:11himself an alibi what he's done instead is to give them a motive he's a little worse at coming up
30:18with
30:18alibis than he was at staging crime scenes military is questioning him when the forensic team that had
30:25been searching the car opens the door to the room and say excuse me we have something you need to
30:30see right
30:32away there was a note in the car that was written uh that stated i said to take care of
30:38all of your
30:39problems at the house and i have no one will bother you again regarding this just please come home
30:46so what is that grant he told us that he wrote it so he could remember what cody had said
30:53to him
30:54after i got kicked out i had met with my brother before he came home just like in the neighborhood
31:00area i basically brought him up to speed and he had told me that he was going to take care
31:05of it
31:05for me and that's all that i know so they asked him what do you think this means crap well
31:10i think
31:11it means that cody is the one who killed our parents
31:17and why would you think that to protect me or to help me or to do something with me
31:23we knew he was full of we knew it wasn't a murder suicide it's all lies you've painted this picture
31:30of how close you are with your brother and now you're trying to point fingers at him that he did
31:34this that was a trigger for us to know that he's guilty as hell so you're telling me you did
31:40not
31:40shoot cody your father or your mother no he still was adamant that he was not responsible for these
31:46deaths so after several hours of hearing bullshit lies i wanted to see his reaction when i showed him
31:54the crime scene photos did you leave the house with your brother cody looking like that
32:02or did you leave the house with your father looking like that or your mother
32:07is that how you left your family no he's completely detached there's no emotion and then when
32:16there is emotion it's a fake cry i didn't do any of this you could see right through him if
32:23you were
32:24the one that's been depressed you are the one that owes money you are the one that got into a
32:27confrontation with your father who did this to your family i mean i don't know like what more i can
32:32say
32:32he is a sociopath eyes like a shark nothing no feelings no anything
32:42detectives try one last tactic
32:48to send jason in alone and speak to his baby brother
32:55we were hoping jason would get through to him to give us some type of
32:59answer i just i'm gonna ask you plain out you are not part of it anyway no things are adding
33:06up
33:07i'm really confused grant jason he's very emotional he doesn't know what to think he doesn't
33:12understand how it led up to this point i need you to be honest with me man he was just
33:19trying to be
33:19consoling and being a loving brother just again to try to build that rapport for grant to open up to
33:26him
33:27i don't know i don't have the answers and he never did you already made the decision on whether or
33:34not they can live or not that's not your job all right i'm ready i do love you though just
33:43remember that
33:45just like mom cody and dad loved you i was frustrated i knew he wasn't gonna break
33:56it's an attempt and a reasonable one that might work except it didn't
34:02you have anything else you need to talk about before we let you go because now's your time you
34:07know that you can live with yourself knowing that you're not going to tell us the truth
34:11i said what i can say i said what i can say that's his last words to me nothing to
34:18try and
34:18convince us that he was not the one who committed these crimes grant amato is as guilty as the day
34:25is long but they are forced to say the dreaded words thank you for coming in you're free to go
34:33it's the last thing you want to do because you never know if he's going to find a way to
34:37make himself
34:38disappear you never want to be the one that has to say you're free to go you're the one that
34:48wants
34:48to say stand up and turn around you're under arrest so we take grant to a hotel room and several
34:55deputies were placed at the hotel to watch him because we needed time to gather enough for an arrest
35:02warrant because the sheriff's office knew that grant was tied to the digital world
35:11they turned their investigation to focus on the digital forensics so they noticed that the night
35:17of the murders according to grant's telephone records he spent 599 to join sylvie's private video
35:28session where is he getting this money grant is broke we were able to piece together a minute by
35:36minute account of chad amato's cell phone they noticed that the cell phone goes silent at 5 52 p.m
35:44so that puts chad's time of death around six but then his fingerprint was used to unlock his banking app
35:51on his phone to try and move money around around 11 o'clock at night way after death
35:57moltari thinks back to the autopsy and recalls that the right index finger of the victim was cleaned and
36:05wiped of blood light bulb goes off grant amato must have cleaned his father's finger off placed on the
36:11phone and unlocked the phone bingo so within hours of murdering his family our hero grant is spending more
36:20of his father's money to engage again with sylvie his dearest love there is the final nail in grant's coffin
36:31we went out to the hotel room and grant amato was placed under arrest for the three homicides
36:37he is charged with three counts of first-degree premeditated murder again no emotion he just went
36:45with it turned around put his hands behind his back and he was brought down to the sheriff's office
36:52so now we were trying to determine the woman he was speaking to sylvie in bulgaria
36:56if she had any role in this as well we reached out to the bulgarian consulate and the sheriff's
37:03office realized that the bulgarian girl had nothing to do with his at all other than being the object of
37:09his affection so sylvie is out but grant is all the way in
37:18without a statement from grant amato they really don't know what happened in that house
37:24but the evidence would suggest the spark that started this event was the absolute nature of the cutoff
37:34he was losing everything so i think his only way out was to just get rid of them and try
37:40and salvage
37:40what he could he needed money to feed his fantasy world his parents had it and they wouldn't give it
37:48to him so he's going to take it grant comes into where his mother is playing a game in a
37:57computer
38:00and executes her without comment first to die grant lived there so he knows all their habits
38:06he positioned himself in the living room across from the kitchen and waited for his father to come home
38:18bullet goes in the back of chad amato's head he falls to the ground he's crawling on the floor
38:25grant walks over top of him
38:29puts the second bullet in the back of his head then grant puts a gun holstered on his belt in
38:37an
38:37attempt to make it look like he was armed and was unable to draw this gun in defense of himself
38:47grant makes a phone call to his brother cody to lure him home
38:56cody walks into the doorway to the interior of the home and is immediately shot in the face
39:05with a nine millimeter
39:08our hero throws a gun on the floor to make it look as if cody killed everybody and killed himself
39:15he is thinking he's being very clever but he puts the wrong gun on the floor it's not the murder
39:22weapon
39:22he is an idiot i think grant thought he had the plan figured out perfectly and it clearly didn't work
39:29out
39:36that way just a few months after the murders on july 15th of 2019 grant amato's trial begins
39:45grant's emotion in the courtroom was
39:49very distant very cold he just pretty much sat there
39:53and that was the last time that i saw cody cody and my dad the only time he elicited any
40:00kind of
40:00response was when we were publishing photographs of sylvie for the jury
40:10he perked up was transfixed and hyper-focused on her
40:14grant amato you've been found guilty for killing both your mother your father and your brother i would
40:21sentence you to life imprisonment without any possibility of parole god have mercy on your soul
40:28when i learned that he was found guilty that's when i knew me and my team did a good job
40:32the reaction for grant was no real reaction just same old flat line grant amato you can't understand
40:44people like this there is no understanding they do what they do grant focused on imaginary love
40:50and the imaginary life because he couldn't face reality because there was no woman in this country that
40:58was going to love him except his own mother and he put a bullet in her head
41:04you give life and sometimes that life takes yours
41:10on the next american detective so what happened to my family
41:16there was a curse on the business she have all these ledgers all these names what happens if they
41:22don't pay you it's not going to be a nice thing do not with us or this is going to
41:28happen to you only
41:29do not with us or they don't kill them were or they don't wear it's going to be a great
41:29thing
41:29but they also claim the name worse
