Thank you to everyone that contributed to this week's beer fun. Just go to true crime garage dot com and, on the right hand, side you'll, see little beer tip jar, just click on that keep the beer off that is enough of the bs mess. All everybody gather round. Grab a chair grab a beer. Let's talk some true crime. When we left off yesterday, captain the police had just discovered what can only be referred to as a house of horrors. They found

a bloody scene. At the rental house, where the browns were staying than a mile of the house. In fact, it's distance at between half enough three quarters of a mile from the home in a wooded area. They find a pile of bodies. Now from the get go Of course. Their main person of interest is going to be Adam matters. They know that he lived there at the home. They also know that nine hundred one was called because there was some kind of confrontation where his ex girlfriend megan says: he attacked her with a knife and threatened to kill her put the knife against her throat and cut her hand. This took place on the twenty eighth about six days before their grisly discovery, but for all the detect New matos might even be among that unidentified

of bodies, so another possible suspect here is Nicholas Leonard, the other person involved in this love triangle that seems to be known to law enforcement. Here's a little peel back the curtain moment here at the garage. Megan apparently had told her friends and family about nick prior to the twenty eightth. It seems like This was very much on the de l for her, and that makes sense because Adam athos is still living at her home. and she knows that this is not going to be a permanent arrangement, so Tom, sometimes you just try to keep the peace right, but nick is the opposite He had told his family all about megan in fact say that he was in love with her right nick told his pay. That he and Megan were keeping their romance quiet until at I moved out of the house. I think even

what is mom that she might be the one. Yes, I believe so nick Leonard, is discounted pretty quickly as a suspect in the murder of the family when the medical examiner finally identifies those found in that pile of d. imposing bodies and nickel it is identified as being one of the victims. Now stated here that the detectives- immediately when they found this. I mean this is like the most horrific sight. His officers have seen in their entire career. They state, we didn't know what exactly we were looking at. We knew it was a pile of bodies. No know how many victims they were or who they were so now We have the medical examiner who is able to start identifying the remains were found, but how people were found. It turns out that there were four decomposing bodies. We already

said that nick leonard was one of them, but the other victims were megan. Her father Greg and her mother, maggie brown all identified by the medical examiner. So I guess the one bright spot here in this very very darkest of moments is there's no tristan there, No little boy found dead at the scene, so there is some hope. Yes, some hope, but also if your law enforcement. You have this kid, which is our testing that is possibly with his father. which is the number one suspect for a quadruple homicide. So what kind of danger is he in your spot on with that in that's going

be the major major concern here before we move on to that, though, captain I do want to point out, because the question becomes. Why would these detectives? see and find this pile of bodies and not- understand what it is it they're looking at or a meal We know the in the victims, the number of victims. I think. We should point out here there's a couple of factors involved in this one. It can be easily assumed that these victims have all been dead for some time for quite some time actually, because it was the day after or that police report was taken at the home on the twenty ninth of august, that night, their megan, nor maggie showed up, for there are three p m work shifts that day. So it's easy

soon assume that whatever happened. Whatever transpired went down, it went down before three p m that, following day with six days between that nine, when one call and this grisly discovery, and we don't know how long the remain were exposed to the elements, but we're talking about florida in august is free. Hot, it's going to speed a lot of things up and that's going to work against the forensic experts and the investigators when they find the scene. and you are exactly right as soon as they determine Tristan is not amongst the victims here, thank god. We got to find this oh boy, he's four years old and very likely in the company of this very very dangerous man. We have suspect number one on line and circle him at the top of our list. Suspect number

Adam matters probably is in possession of this little four year old boy, so they very smartly issue an amber alert to try to locate Tristan. This is very smart for several reasons. One top priority find the boy, no doubt about that number. Two second priority. If you can manage to do both, get Adam matters in handcuffs and set him down and ask him the tough questions while they find in pretty quickly because he's not the smartest of guys. Now now He might be at the top of the list for suspects, not at the top of the list for smart guys, or does doesn't equal genius? he checks himself and with his son into a hotel. That far away, so he manages to make it to tampa Florida and

they do jack into a hotel where he uses his own name, jackson under his own name, so that makes it a little easier for him to be found and locate. Why thing he said, I ll take a room for two. They said what name is it do speck and they said we dont accept that, namely those ok well at a matters, it's the same It's like a star wars. There there's their several flaws in star wars, but one that was always alarming for such a mouth was that obi wan, Kenobi into hiding what is the name that he uses the alias that uses while in hiding Ben Kenobi, like I am adding but I'll still use. My my last name. I thought I want my obi two cannot be re instead, the captain I'll go by look at Tom. Nobody will ever figure it out

so Adam matters checked into this tampa. Flora hotel under his own name authorities get a break there when they pick up that Tristan is four years old. Of course, he's in a state of shock, like none of us could believe he's not talking to police Adam, on the other hand, does not appear to be in shock at all. In fact, he seems to be in play calm, cool and collected on again. We ever. We have a kid. That's artistic, and so I don't know a lot about it, but I did play in a band with amazing guy, amazing teacher, he taught kids with autism, and so it always kind of talked to me about the spectral men and how summer verbal and summer nonverbal. So it's not as simple for the cops to

to know they don't know his personality well before being able to talk to him, but they clearly can see that this kid has some kind of trauma going on right. I was gonna, throw that in their too. Unfortunately, you, the icing on the cake here will be you when you find boy you're very happy about that, but you do not have a clue. air understanding as to why he may or may not have witnessed, and the effects may have had on him and, as you said, that the ptsd that could be involved with just what the potential of what this kid could have witnessed.

What an experience I just want to say this and that maybe this goes without saying. When you have teachers, I love teachers, but somebody like the guy I played with his name is Bobby. He he he he specialized in teaching kids with autism, make sure you take the time out, to let them know what they're doing is so special and changing the lives of so many people. Okay. Moving on with the story, while Adam, does not put up any type of fight when they go to arrest him, and we mentioned the anna mattos, not the smartest guy, not at the top of the list of smart guys. But when they bring Adam in for questioning this is very smart, the detectives they don't tell Adam. they found the bodies of megan, her parents and nick Leonard right, no, instead detect

it's Adam that he's being arrested on domestic violence. Charges that stem from that first nine one one call for megan, so at the police, asian detectives tell matters that the hay you're here on these charges, but your son, here too we to release him to the custody of someone who should that be yeah. We Take this kid somewhere. How about we take him back to his mother megan. That would be the first option that makes the most sense right. Adam. Do you know if it that's going to be passed, if we could locate megan and easily locate her and return Tristan to her while we sort out this deal of the domestic- I once John his answer is I don't know I would know what they're like you. You should know the detectives, go okay, well, they're going give them pass on that they say Well, how about megan's parents can

stay with them. Maybe again, Adam says: well, you can check on that you can call and ask if they will keep him and he says, hey our relationship. Merely relationship with megan is certainly troubled. You can see this by this domestic assault charge? So I don't know what the deal is with her, but you can call her parents and ask detective, says: well: when did you guys break up Adam says a week ago? Detective a week ago. Okay, do you remember what that was about Adam Matos, just a bunch of drama bunch of shit. You know, he denies that he attacked megan in that Rage the that morning, when she called nine one. What follows face, I'm I mean it. They should be called relationships. You know, instead of relationships, the detectives ass,

do you know if she seeing anyone else I'm says I wouldn't know that, but he does admit that they got into allowed argument didn't attacker, but got into a argument- and this would have been asked- Megan arrived home that morning he says, then Her mother Maggie here's this argument, tells me to leave, and so I left it wasn't until He was locked up for this domestic violence, charge that Adam He starts to learn that the detectives had fold and asked found the bodies of may her parents in nick leonard earlier. so in a newspaper interview denies killing them and there's some footage. It can be seen of this where the the officers and detectives are walking. Adam

down the street or maybe in an alley, and they they're good they're, trying to put them into a car. They keep getting stopped by this horde of reporters re who want it ask Adam: what's going on, we got to triple homicide here, you're in handcuffs? Did you kill those people? He is oh unbelievably calm he does, He's not sweating he's not red faced his answer short and to the point he says, course I don't know a lot. He even gives a little attitude to like well. Why did you take Tristan from from the house he's my son so at some point he's being interviewed by a newspaper Adam killing them and with detectives in the room he says all there. dead, they've been murdered. You know who might want to look at is the jealous ex girlfriend of nick Leonard's.

Talking about this earlier off. The record is how how he is, but how effortless lee he can. This lie, and it really hard normal. You can kind of read somebody and go okay. Well that comment or that statement doesn't seem to add up and you can kind of tell by their body language, but he's so nonchalant I mean it's very, very impressive. On how he's very calm, cold and his love Through his teeth, he's got an answer for everything and when he can't provide one, he simply says I don't know He doesn't say I don't know. Unlike a dumb way, though no east a says, it very matter of fact lay like I'd idle, because I wouldn't know I've already was plainly that I wasn't there at that time. Or are you not been gone by that time? So I don't know I would,

says. Sometimes I wouldn't know the detectives now this information with the ex girlfriend jealous ex, for an information. They vary quickly figure out. Is she the ex girlfriend, has an airtight alibi robot. about hold on it also helps that she's in Wichita Kansas, You were right to make make sense of it that shit, wasn't in the area the die, but I was thinking about this. When researching the case, could you and be in law enforcement, and you you have the guy you're, most of the hundred percent sure that this dick face and one of is of the guy responsible for this horrible horrible murder, murder. And he is saying why I don't know this, and I don't know that and he's cool and calm and he's collective and then, when you tell him one, I think it's a big tell that he was

very emotional, once you say, hate your girlfriend, the mother of your child, Her whole family has been murdered, that there's no ocean there he's gone hey. Who you should look into as her new. my friend had a crazy ex and so your problem thinking that again this is just another bullshit lie. But when you look, to her. She stopped him and her multiple women, that he was contact with multiple women that he tried to date. So there was some validity to that story, or that idea. But as law enforcement you're like we have to follow this lead, but there's a party there, like your mind, would have been blown if it wasn't adam? If it was this girl right Think the situation here is like the the papers and the media really make a big deal of this, like a dream

the bombshell on the detectives. I dont think it was night that for the detectives at all, I think that the directives were, as you said, Had this guy dead, the rights pretty much in thought. You know what this is our guy one hundred percent, but you know what we're going to do due diligence we're going to cover all of our bases here? If and when we take guided court. This possibility this theory will be scented by someone that the fairies we Need to show this theory does not track. Doesn't track at all it didn't happen. She has an airtight alibi, but again it's possible because we know nick leonard was filing in the process of, a formal complaint about harassment against this woman at the time of his murder The thing here, though, is you're really got to get the traumatized artistic young. Four year old boy to talk was he a witness? Did he went is anything and if he did, what was it

unfortunately, what detective will learn. It takes some time to pry that door opened slowly pry that door open, but trust in you four years old witnessed a bloody massacre. He witnessed his mother, his grandparents being, eventually? He describes two investigators hearing the gun. they killed his mother. He said: that he heard his mother saying? Please don't trust in town them that he- and this is His- trying to reenact this in a way you, a doll he ran? it up in a little blanket and he starts pounding it saying mommy, mommy and finally, the poor kid points his finger at his own father.

daddy killed mom. All right thanks for joining us, thanks for telling from friend mates and this Is the garage wishing everybody a happy and safe halloween yeah for and enjoy the trick or treats watch out for the razor blades in the candy? There you go all right, so Anna Mattos he is going to

I shot him in his lower back as he was trying to around was weapon.

Go to deter no here the weapon in his hand, and I shall again- did he go down then? Yes, as you leave the master bedroom closet What happens? Is that in a closet? I could see someone in my peripheral. It was megan and I thought she had something in her hand, and I just in the shadow where she was by the door around a corner, and did she have something just was later found? to be a cell phone? How many times did you and Was it around where that beat was in the master bedroom with the bullet holes in the corner of the wall? What did you do that?

lastly completely. I just realized that I kill the woman? I love the mother my child. At that point, realized it interesting. No longer had a mother no longer had grandfather, no longer had me and at that point I feel, like my life was over Are you angry at all? is very angry? Did you place the anger on particular individual nicholas Leonard. Why I was upset that he brought a weapon into my home today. Try to kill me a turn. family against me and try to kill me as well. What you do I went back to my bedroom. And he was just lying on- the bed- and he was unconscious. Just upset, and I was I was just

chilling out. Why? Why why this had to happen? I grabbed hammered. That was on the floor and I just kept hitting him until I couldn't anymore, I can't remember it was was a lot of times. cuz it always with be and the hammer, necessarily that you put the nails in It may have slipped when I was hitting him. Would you do do after that? went and checked on Tristan to make sure he was okay and he was, and I told him stay in his room was a lot of blood on me from. vacation that I had with nicholas I washed? It off

then I want to check up on and to make sure that it was okay. Wasn't he was ok, everything's going to be okay. I gave him a hug kiss from one cheek. How did you feel in general, after having this entire incident. just lost my whole world was turned upside down and I was just I was out of my mind. I was in shock and I felt like. pardon me died that they have a fear of us. She knew I was in fear that the cops to show up that they would. Kill me as well. I was scared that Tristan was endangered as well, that he might Being harm's way, if the police were to show up what to do with all of the his guns, like letters,

I threw all the weapons in the canal. I didn't want any weapons in the house after that incident. I don't want it to be. threat to anyone else or to me, or to Tristan. Were you re mature, send my sealed by. I was afraid that he would be exposed to it. So I locked the door it's bedrooms where the bodies were years later? How'd you like that the latch on the door. It's. it's a high land, so he wasn't able to reach it and you from the outside of the room the master bedroom. The master bedroom didn't the door not to the room was missing, so you couldn't just stepped into the room and you had to be a strong, strong personal data.

because it didn't have to now just a piece of metal, and I put a dog cage in front of the door to keep them from getting in. What did you interested in point about It was very fuzzy, my memory of what what happened that day later I was just lost out of it and I was just chain smoking. A lot. When, Margaret comes home from work, heard the dogs barking and at that point I was still out of it and I was in shock and I was scared- it people be coming into the house to kill me If you saw more, would did you feel that she was in on it? Yes, I felt

She would try to kill, kill me as well, where we stress imposing them He was in his room, sleeping so what did you do I went down to the garage with the hammer Did I used on nicholas and I killed Margaret in the west garage hallway, you ain't, never shares are down here it. How did you kill her? I hit her over the head few times. The that's the perfect spot to stop that clip. They actually interview him on the stand for about an hour. Of course they have cross examination

The problem with his testimony is it doesn't take any genius here to figure out that this guy is completely lying to everyone he's trying to manipulate the story to say His own ass remember, he's being charged with quadruple homicide. He is being threatened with the punishment of death by the state of florida. He is choosing his words very carefully and his defense attorney is helping him to do so. He's trying to paint a picture and put the victims themselves in a bad light. He says that it was nick. They called megan a whore. He says that was megan did tells him that nick is a stalker. these two are not involved in any kind of relationship. These are their words. These them telling me both that the other is a bad person and then I the into the house around six m and I was attacked,
