On January 25, 2019, 31-year-old Cody Winston Amato was found dead in the family home in Oviedo, Florida, alongside his parents, Chad and Margaret Amato. All three died of gunshot wounds.
Investigators focused on Cody’s brother, Grant Amato, who was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors linked a motive to a family dispute over Grant’s obsession with a Bulgarian webcam model and alleged theft of more than $200,000 from family members to fund those interactions. At trial the prosecution argued the killings were planned; the defense disputed direct evidence tying Grant to the scene. The jury convicted Grant and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
If anyone knew Cody, his parents, or has information about tensions in the family leading up to January 25, 2019, please share what you know.
