*A Florida man was taken into police custody Monday after he wired $200,000 in stolen money to a Bulgarian cam girl before killing his mother, father, and brother.
29-year-old Grant Amato was arrested after he allegedly shot and killed his mother Margaret, 61, his father Chad, 59, and his brother Cody, 31. According to the Seminole County Sheriff Office, the family had been killed “execution style.”
Grant was living in his parent’s home after experiencing a rough few months, which included getting canned from his job at a hospital after he was caught stealing Propofol. He developed an obsession with a pornographic cam girl in Bulgaria around this same time.

In the three months that preceded the murders, Amato stole $150,000 from his father and an additional $50K from Cody, according to his brother Jason Amato, who was not present at the time of the killings.
His parents reportedly knew Grant was stealing the money and who it was going to, which prompted them to urge their son to go to rehabilitation for pornography addiction.
But the problems continued after Grant left rehab. According to the arrest affidavit, Cody’s girlfriend claimed he had been so worried about the escalating situation within his family that he feared his brother “would kill everybody.”
Grant was reportedly kicked out of his parents home on Jan. 24; the next day is when his victims were discovered. He later told authorities different stories about what happened to his family.
Amato is currently being held without bond on three counts of first-degree murder.
