Amato and one of his brothers, Cody, had reportedly fallen out after Amato stole $60,000 from him and sold his firearms without permission, Cody Amato’s girlfriend told the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office. Amato's other brother, Jason, also accused him of stealing $150,000 from the men's father

Amato's relationship with his family deteriorated even further after they learned he believed he was in a relationship with a Bulgarian woman he met on an adult website and that he'd been using the stolen money to talk to her online, Cody's girlfriend said. Adding to his troubles, Amato was also reportedly kicked out of nursing school.

Police were called on Friday to investigate after Cody Amato failed to show up at his job. Authorities went to the Chuluota home and found Amato's family members dead, the Sentinel reported. Investigators determined Amato’s parents had been shot execution style.
