A teenager in Florida allegedly killed his grandmother at her home, then proceeded to drive around with her body in a vehicle for close to five hours. It's also probably worth noting that his grandmother lived in a nudist community.
According to WFTV, 18-year-old Brandon Machetto was spotted carrying what a neighbor thought was a body out of the Paradise Lakes community in Lutz, Fla., where Sylvia Schmitt, 74, resided. The neighbor told police that Machetto then placed the body into a minivan, and he reportedly continued to drive even when Pasco County sheriff's deputies attempted to pull him over.
Machetto was eventually taken into custody after returning to Paradise Lakes. He was charged with first-degree murder and is currently being held without bail. WFTV adds that witnesses recalled hearing Machetto fight with his grandmother, and that he suffered a brain injury in the past.
