Florida man wired $200,000 to Bulgarian ‘cam girl’ before killing family (Photos & Video)
a shocking and heartbreaking incident, Grant Amato, a 29-year-old man, stands accused of the brutal murder of his parents, Chad Amato, 59, and Margaret Amato, 61, as well as his brother, Cody Amato, 31, in their Chuluota home. The discovery of their lifeless bodies came to light after Cody Amato failed to show up for work, leading to a horrifying scene of violence and tragedy.
Prior to the fatal event, investigators uncovered a disturbing series of events that preceded the murders. It was revealed that Grant Amato had allegedly stolen a staggering $200,000 from his parents and brother to support an online, pornographic relationship with a woman in Bulgaria. This relationship had reportedly been ongoing since June on an adult website called Cam Girls, and it appears that Amato’s interactions with the woman led to his financial exploitation of his own family.
The surviving brother of the victims disclosed that Grant Amato had been communicating with an online call girl, to whom he had been sending substantial sums of money. Concerningly, the woman knew the family’s address, which deeply troubled Margaret Amato. Upon discovering the theft, Chad and Margaret Amato confronted their son and gave him an ultimatum: complete a 60-day internet and sex addiction program or leave the family home.
Grant Amato complied with the ultimatum and checked into a facility in Fort Lauderdale. However, tensions escalated upon his return home, as he continued his online relationship with the Bulgarian woman against the family’s wishes, leading to heated confrontations with his parents. They laid down strict ground rules, including cutting off all communication with the woman, and warned that breaking any of these rules would result in immediate eviction from the family home.

Tragically, the following day, the family was discovered dead, each suffering from “execution-style” wounds. Investigators found evidence that Grant Amato attempted to create a cover-up story, even fabricating a fake note from his deceased brother, Cody, urging him to return home. The revelation of his brother’s concern that Grant might harm everyone further added to the chilling context of the crime.
Additionally, prior incidents painted a troubling portrait of Grant Amato’s behavior. He had been fired from his job at a hospital due to accusations of stealing prescription pills, adding to the pattern of troubling actions and escalating tensions within the family.
Now facing three counts of first-degree murder, Grant Amato’s case will hinge on thorough detective work and reliance on forensic evidence and circumstantial clues. As the investigation unfolds, the community is left to grapple with the immense loss and seek answers to understand the motivations behind such a heinous act.
The devastating tragedy of the Amato family serves as a grim reminder of the complex and deeply disturbing nature of human behavior, as well as the profound impact of online relationships on vulnerable individuals. It also underscores the importance of early intervention and support for those struggling with mental health issues, addiction, and interpersonal conflicts to prevent further tragedies in the future.
