Chuluota, Florida. January 25, 2019. When Cody Amato did not turn up for his shift at Orlando Regional Medical Center, his co-workers were worried. Cody had not missed a shift in the last five years. They called the police, asking if an officer could perform a welfare check at the Amato home. When the police arrived, the house appeared silent. No one came to the door when they knocked, so they forced their way inside. In the house, they found the deceased bodies of 61-year-old Margaret, 59-year-old Chad and and 31-year-old Cody.
29-year-old Grant Amato, Chad and Margaret's youngest son, who also lived in the house, was nowhere to be found.
