- Join Emma Kenny as she explores the tragic case of Grant Amato, a tale of obsession, deceit, and family tragedy that unfolded in Chuluota, Florida. In this in-depth episode, Emma delves into the complex dynamics that led to the devastating murder of Amato’s family members, unraveling the layers of a crime influenced by a deep digital addiction and distorted reality.
Emma examines the intricate web of Grant Amato's online life and how his obsession with a Bulgarian webcam model spiraled out of control, leading to fatal consequences. She dissects the psychological aspects of his behavior, exploring the impact of virtual relationships on real-world actions and the fine line between online fantasy and reality.
Through her insightful analysis, Emma discusses the wider implications of the case, including the challenges of managing digital addictions and the importance of recognizing their potential dangers. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of losing oneself in an online world and the devastating impact it can have on families.

I'm only 30 seconds in, and I'm giving Emma big props for being professional and ignoring her cat, who is bursting my heart with its cuteness! ❤ it looks at her with so much love! Xxx
No no bless his heart! He only wants a stroke from his beloved mum!
@clare1971 i think you may have misunderstood what I was saying. I love both Emma and her kitty 😊❤
First thing I noticed became my cat is the same colour aw so cute 💜
My Wiggie acts just like him.
My dog was fascinated by that gorgeous kitty. She watches tv with me all the time, but she especially loves it when there are animals onscreen 😂
I need to find me someone who looks at me like Emma's cat looks at her 😂
Don't we all! 😂
And I love the way he/she bats his/her little paw at her in the beginning 😂❤
@@theresarasche3173 our little Cocker-poo also does that with his paw. He’s a tiny little chap and it is so cute when he does it! 🥰
@@melissam597 newsflash; they are an exceedingly rare breed, only to be found by kissing a lot of frogs 🤣🤣!
@Rachelle78 sorry to disappoint, but only cats look at you that way! 😂
I have never considered stealing someone else's pet but that cat of yours makes me glad you are far away over the sea. It is beautiful. Looks like he/she is following your hand waiting for you to scratch his/her head
@elizethompson8627 You shood wach her episode on the “Serial Cat Thief” who kidnapped over 163 cats from their owners across the United States. Don’t become like that evil guy! Or else you will end up in one of her episodes!!!
I will never understand how you only have 225k followers. You are by far the best true crime teller. You really do deep dive. I will forever sing your name loudly and proudly when true crime is spoken. Keep up the amazing work emma I really appreciate you and your brothers hard work. Xxxx
Totally agree, definitely the best in the U.K.
she will get more. it takes time to build up a sub base
@@tanyac7663and the US!
I agree completely Laura. Being a psychologist she always looks at the cases with expertise and professionalism.
Her channel is still relatively new. I have a feeling it will progressively grow bigger and bigger.
❤ Shout out to your cat! He / she clearly adores you Emma! He’s listening to your every word, and is communicating his love for you as clearly as if he could talk! So utterly beautiful to watch ❤️🥰🌈 xxx
It says it all the way that Cat is looking at you Emma, you must have amazing positive energy around you. x
I absolutely love Emma's role play, sarcastic conversations! Only she can tell me such a dark story and make me laugh at the same time 😂❤
I was just thinking the same thing 😂
Hi Kenny's crime cult.Hello you beautiful people ❤😊
Hello beautiful person
Me and my daughter came to your serial killer next door show the other night it’s was brill! Got myself and my daughter a hoody too 😊
Hi 👋 ❤
Heyyyy👋😊
👋🏻
Oh my god your cat looks absolutely GRIPPED and blissed out with you and your storytelling and it is giving me LIFE
That cat is an entire show on his own 😊
I think about Cody from time to time, he seemed like a phenomenal person and brother.
Who else likes waiting an hour or two to watch Emma's show, so we can curl up in a nice clean bed, PJ's straight outta the dryer and cuddle with my fur baby and watch our favourite online show?? Can't just be me right?? And if this doesn't work out for you Emma, I can definitely see you as a Victoria secrets model 😘🤭❤️
Absolutely & don’t forget the clean hair as well! Pure bliss 💜
This is exactly as I am watching this now with my 3 for babies!
Emma would you please consider looking into the mysterious death of Christian Andreacchio. He died under suspicious circumstances with 2 people in the apartment. This case was ruled a suicide, but when you see the crime scene photos, its obvious it wasn't possible. Poor Christian deserves to have his story heard. He was so young and happy and its like Noone cared about this young man except his family
yesssss please!!!
The way your cat looks at you is beautiful ❤
Only quarter way through and the way Emma describes Grant to us, this is what hits me,
Spoilt, Rich, Brat.
What a beautiful cat. I've watched another vlog of yours with him in and l love the way he paws you and tucks his paws under himself ready for the vlog. Your channel is the best out there.
Awe your cat looks at you with pure love!❤
How much catnip did the cat have 😂😂 what a beauty!
This is so weird I just watched another podcast about this case ! Then I got your notification! Your cat is looking at you so cute , I wouldn’t have bailed out my son that’s for sure , what an entitled spoiled brat .. thank you Emma 💜
Omg... you're cat is hilarious and loves you to death swatting at you when you start talking! ScottV/Seattle Wa
That regal cat, I swear was staring into my soul.
The catto at the beginning 😭 wanting your attention 😭 awweee 😍😍
Sweet kittie so content and in adoration of Emma. So calming while listening to the horrors humanity is capable of. Animals are healing angels. So much better than human beings.
I love that all the comments are about the cat! I had to rewind and actually listen because I was so distracted by the cat the first time.
I am desperately trying to get coverage of my cousin Tiffany Booth’s 3 year old domestic violence Las Vegas murder case. I would absolutely love love love Emma to cover her case and help find her murderer before he hurts another woman.
Just clicked on, love how attentive kitty is to the story. Very interested, large ears are engaged.
If I'm not mistaken he's an Abyssinian. VERY intelligent and people orientated cats.
The cat is recording everything for future reference 😂
The cat is a star!
Each time I hear it like grand tomato🍅, maybe I got to get a check-up on my ears? 🙄
Ha ha I am the same grand tomatoes
You need to watch it with subtitles lol it changes it to Grant Tomato all the time! 😅
I saw someone who wrote in the comment section say, "GRANT, WHAT THE HELL IS AMATO WITH YOU ?!"
Thanks em. Stay safe everyone wherever you are
i’m convinced that cat understands english
Yes, exactly what I was thinking, then there's the staring down the barrel of the camera as well… like it's making sure that we are paying attention. I'm not really a cat person, but I really like this one, that's for sure.
Yaaay the cat who's totally in love with you is back 😍🙌 people say dogs look like their humans but you two look like twins 🤭🥰💚
Oh Emma, the way your cat is looking at you! We’ve got three totally spoiled much loved cats and not one of them ever looks at me like that ❤ he’s a beauty ❤
Ok I’d better try and focus on your latest deep dive! 😻
Quick anecdote Emma. I'm at a point now that when listening to anyone who might finish their phrase with a "he's so done", I now finish it in my head with "he's bang to right". Mind you, I'm French Canadian 🤣💜💜💜
French from Qc here !
I always dreamed of being a registered nurse but 2 years into my schooling I realized I'm too emotional for the job so I found myself in a software engineer career and that suits me much better
Interesting to read, I done 1 and a half years of 3 years nursing. The assignments kept tripping me up, done my best never passed essay wise. But always aced the practical exams and work experience in the hospitals... I am an incredibly emotionally driven person, perhaps it's for the best. Thanks for your insight
@@EmmalineIrish your welcome
@@EmmalineIrishever thought of being a HCA? You can then train up slowly less written work. And then you can train to be a nurse associate too then do a one year top up to be a nurse? If your acing the practical skills seems such a shame . I hope your happy what ever you doing 😊
I can relate there. I wanted to be a doctor, but I couldn’t pass the GAMSAT’s (pre-requisite exams to enter a med degree). I don’t think I could’ve handled the stress that comes with it anyway. I’m a biomedical scientist instead, samples come with much less emotional baggage than patients. I regret not being able to do it, as much as I am glad I still contribute to human health in a different way. I play a role in giving people answers to their symptoms, or I track which antibiotics work for which infections and that’s pretty satisfying. I think as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. I’m sure you’ve ended up exactly where you’re supposed to be.
@@emmaw944 I was in the past, but at the time there was no progression. I need to just believe in myself a bit more, and give things another try 🙂 thank you for your kind advice, hugs from rural Ireland 🇮🇪 x
This is a very interesting case in terms of nature vs nurture, considering how close these two boys where and how vastly different their outcomes are.
Commenting this again because it's true. You are the only true crime channel I watch anymore.
The way you cover each topic with immense focus on and compassion to victims and family members, and how you having a well established background in psychology and health/social care really shines through. You break it all down, so we can see precisely how vile these criminals are and how they operate within society. You cover everything and always from a place of love. I am a stickler for the correct practice, I studied psych myself and won't hold back on correcting someone when they're wrong, but I never ever need to for your videos. I can always trust that you know more than me and have far more experience. It's really great to watch and learn from.
I don't watch true crime much anymore, but when I do I watch your channel and I feel like I'm in college being taught by a favourite tutor! ❤
this channel is so much better than all the stupid kids eating and putting on makeup/harassing families
emma has the intelligence and actual background in the industry to be able to properly navigate the topic
You are the the best true crime teller off all time
Thank you for presenting this case; I hadn't heard of it before.
I finally got to listen live...live for me is Monday morning at 5am in South Australia.
This is a sad case. Had his father used tough love, pressed charges for larceny resulting in his "son" being required to cool his obsessed jets for 3 - 5 years, perhaps this could have been avoided. They were too nice.
While I'll agree with you that this is a sad case. In my opinion, your statement is blaming the victim. Grant was and probably still is a selfish, narcissistic piece of trash. He had privilege, love and all the opportunities most people would wish for. He and he alone is responsible for these horrific slaughters. Grant isn't a child, he knew right from wrong. He is the epitome of a bad seed who used manipulation to get what he wanted. He didn't take responsibility and get another decent job or even had an ounce of remorse for his family's financial strain after his trifling actions.
@momsdiva71 Victim blaming isn't real. Obviously this is all grants fault. To think that stating anything but positive comments about the victims absolves grant of his actions is childish at best. But, if the family showed some boundaries and punished grant, instead of enabling him. They may still be alive today. But heaven forbid we victim blame!
To be honest I don't think it would have mattered what they did in terms of tough love or discipline, they were doomed
@@NickyBlue99Victim blaming is real and happens all the time to sexual assault victims. "Why was she walking alone that day?" Or "Look at what she was wearing! She was basically asking for it!"
I agree wholeheartedly with you.But we shall never know.
The cat is testiment to emmas compassion... cats are aloof more often than not! That cat adores her ❤❤
His level of narcissism and entitlement is on par with one of my family members. I feel especially sorrowful for Jason and Cody, and poor Cody losing his life too. Because siblings really do get pushed aside a lot when it comes to a narc like this. The family dynamics are toxic when a narc is running the show, and that happens a lot when the narc is the child of loving parents. They don’t know what to do but try to love them and protect them and do whatever they can to help. But the narc just takes and takes and takes and takes. It’s just terrible. I’m so sorry for this family, and for Jason who is the only one remaining alive, who still has to reconcile his love for his brother, with the narcissistic monster who killed his entire family. Rest in Peace Amato Family, and Jason I wish you peace in your life.
Sorry you have a family member with that level of narcissism. This sad story also reminds me of Joel Guy Jr who killed his parents for cutting him off and having the "audacity" to want to sell the house and retire. Joel Guy may have been even worse, if that is possible. During the trial he just stared at the exhibits wearing that weird mask.(which made him look even weirder) I don't think he felt anything at all, except regret for getting caught Chilling.
Yet again another amazing story 🎉Keep up the good work, God bless Emma and fam 😊
I love that cat!💓💓💓 and you too Emma of course !💗
I listen to your videos every Wed & Sun. I am fascinated by each & every story. The work you put into them must be immense. Today, I have to give credit to your cat. The look of love & devotion on their face is so wonderful. 🐈 xxx
Hi Emma from Ireland love your channel ❤️
I feel for Jason. He lost his whole immediate family in one moment of selfishness. 3 are dead and the 4th might as well be. I can't even imagine how traumatic that would be. Life in prison is too good for this guy. He shouldn't be allowed to continue breathing when he took that privilege away from his whole family. RIP to the Amato family.
What a sweet cat 🥰
My like this episode is dedicated to Emma’s cat. That cat is adorable💕
Love your cat. Great video as always.
I absolutely love your sass and sarcasm! And the hoodie, too!
Hi! I came to see tour show in york. It was really interesting. Have you seen that case of animal cruelty in USA where that woman had over 50 special needs dogs and called herself a charity but the dogs were just living in filth, not being looked after and dying, chewing their own body parts off etc?
They could really do with some coverage as i think shes going to get away with most of it. I think you could do it justice. Hope you see this. ❤
I haven’t heard of that case and I’m in the USA. I don’t know if I could stomache it but we definitely need coverage if she is going to get away with it
@@angelang222
same 💕
Sounds dreadful but I’m in the uk so know nothing of it, is there something online about? Can you tell me her name or the state please so I can look into it
@@clare1971April McLaughlin happened in chandler Arizona. Its sickening
@mandirook586 thank you, its not letting me comment for some reason.
Emma, I saw you in Cheltenham last week, you were absolutely amazing and I enjoyed every minute of you talking on stage 😁👏 xx
Just started watching.
Sorry,lost interst already, focust on the beautiful tom cat .
Hes lovely❤❤❤❤❤
That cat…he is the cutest most extraordinary animal I’ve ever seen!!!
Absolutely enjoying Emma. Can't wait til Wednesday! XxxX
Looking forward to hearing your take on this case, i have heard a few other people cover it but they were American content creators and i prefer the down to earth snarky UK perspective 😂
I hope one day you'll cover a few cases I'm really interested in, Summer Wells, Harmony Montgomery and Luke Mitchell//Jodie Jones. Apologies if you've already covered them, I'm working through your eposodes.
Seeing you in February Emma! Cannot wait! Also, love how your cat has zero concept of what you’re talking about but is enamoured by you! Such joy ❤
Bless your heart little cat! Looking at your mum for a love! X
Your cat!! That look of love ❤️ 😂
Another incredibly entertaining, yet perfectly portrayed. Love listening and giggling listening to your round up.
Definitely the best and most factual out there.
THANK YOU 💐
I want to be looked at like Emma's cat is looking at her - total love. Amazing video as always Emma.
I absolutely love this channel!! I listen while I paint, and my cats watch me like your gorgeous cat is watching you! Such fascination and love.
Such excellent content, thank you Emma! Goodness that gorgeous kitty has been here before, that face knows so much 😊
I can already tell this cat is going to do ridiculously cute things and I'll have to convince myself to not look at him
You took the words right out of my mouth Em. What more can I say x
I miss seeing the live premieres. My current work shift means I'm asleep when you release your videos. Keep doing what you're doing Emma. We love your videos and the input you include.
The kitty has stole my heart xxx. I’ve got 2 cats 3 snakes a gecko and a dog so that’s my daily life constantly being climbed on by animals and it’s the best xxx
Her cat is cracking me up
I always love the role playing 😂😂 a bit of levity goes a long way when regaling such tales & also show us more of your beautiful kitty! ♥️🐈♥️ x x x
Wow Ive learned about this case on other channels but didn't know Jason was adopted! Its true that you always bring something new or overlooked in the cases you cover! This poor family was nothing but loving and this is how he repaid them 😭
Jason's mother was his biological mother but when she married he adopted Jason. Then they went on to have Chad & Grant. Have a great night. 😊
@@terrylwamsteeker4394 oh yes that's right, thank you for clarifying that!
@@ashg.3910 No worries! Have a great week.
@@terrylwamsteeker4394 you as well! 😊
He wasn't really adopted. Just had a different dad.
Omg your cat looking lovingly at you, so adorable ❤
This just highlights how unfair life can be he gets a 10 day free holiday to Japan after stealing/losing his job and here I am working like a dog to go on shorter holidays!!! Feel like going to Japan for 10 days just to get some justice !!!
You should do a show about Fidel Lopez and Gabriel Fernandez. Neither of these stories have gotten the attention they deserve and both victims should have their stories told.
Thank you for all you do. All of the victims truly get shown in a wonderful light. Thank you again! 🧡💚
That cat absolutely adores you ❤❤❤
at the beginning i really couldn't concentrate on what you were saying, i HAD to imagine how fluffy your cat's ears and paws are giving them little kisses:)
So excited your covering this Emma! I know you try and avoid the Uber famous and covered case but if your Ted Bundy video tells me anything is, your research skills are so good that you will tell me so much about the case that I don’t know! I’ll be Commenting once I’m done but just wanted to say wish your holiday was spent with family and it was fantastic! - greetings from nyc
Awww! Your kitty is so adorable!
I respectfully disagree, Emma. It wasn’t nature alone that shaped him. We know he was repeatedly not given consequences for his actions. That’s extremely damaging to a young person. It causes narcissism and a sense of entitlement. As a teacher, we have a big problem with this in society because a lot of adults view allowing kids consequences is some kind of punishment. The truth is that providing weak boundaries is child abuse. Look at the research. I agree they were lovely people who didn’t deserve to die. But obviously this young man needed stronger boundaries growing up.
Your cat is so into listening to you I swear he understands what you're talking about!
My first time watching this channel and Emma although I've seen her on TV crime documentary shows.
I have to say i really liked her natural approach and delivery, i found it like sitting and talking with a friend.
Delivery, insights and a seemingly natural way about Emma means I'll be checking in again ive no doubt.
Also despite her disparaging herself re the Victoria secrets modeling i think shes a fine looking woman and the cat 🐈, awesome mini lioness.
Oh and i like her sweater too, "do not comply"
Subbed 👍
The cat is really funny it’s as if he is completely engrossed in every word Emma is saying, so cute ❤
I missed your Intro first time because I was cooing over your Cat❤❤❤ I'll start again! Love what you do Emma! I hope you're getting some sleep and little Etta-Blue is doing well ❤
The way the cats looking at you when you're video's starts 😂 🙏
Thank you for all your hard work much appreciated. Shout out to your beautiful cat ❤
That kitty of yours is melting my heart! 😍
Grant is a perfect example of why you never condone/enable someone's delusions or their disconnect with reality
Aww sorry Emma, your gorgeous cat took my attention. What a beauty 🐱
One of my cats looks at me like your cat looks at you, and we have the most special bond its so cute to see others have kitty besties
Your cat is looking at you so adoringly ❤
I love the way you covered this case. You kept it fresh.
Meowwwwwweeeee. Beautiful cat. Encapsulating viewing as always ♥️
In just 10 seconds I ❤Emma twice as much. I fondly remember trying to accomplish many things with my dearly departed kitties vying for my attention. Bless you Emma for your compassion and love for both 2 legged and 4 legged beings.
I want anyone to look at me the way your cat looks at you ❤️
Hi Emma, I just got back from your serial killer who lives next door at Cheltenham Town Hall.
So impressed with how you presented, really enjoyed it, in the nicest possible way. ❤
Thank you, and thanks to my friends Melody and Matthew for getting my ticket 💕
I had a friend who lost his job because he was in his words falsely accused of stealing. He was homeless then, so I let him move in. He kept my heat up to 90 degrees wearing shorts in winter. We fought. Then instead of job hunting, he runs up hundreds of dollars on my phone calling sex lines. I threw him out.
Was it grant?
Thank you for all the research you do into these cases! It’s so well done and I love my crime and coffee mornings.
Also that kitty cat loves you so so much! Adorable:)
Emma you do an amazing job sharing these stories. Thank you.
No one tells it better than Emma x
Emma, BTW, your skin looks amazing!
Heartbreaking 😞💔
Sorry Em , your cat is making me laugh with the expressions he makes , the way he is listening and looking up at you and the cameras 😂 bless 😅
