This is the original story from late breaking news



LAPD finds 1,200 guns, two tons of ammo in dead man's Pacific Palisades home [View all] it is now 6.5 tons of ammo

Source: Los Angeles Times

It wasn't what police expected to find when they searched a man's Pacific Palisades home last week.

More than 1,200 guns were strewn about the Palisades Drive house and garage, police said. The weapons ranged from high-end pistols to shotguns and rifles. Many had never been fired. Some were still wrapped in their boxes, with the price tags still attached.

It was a "staggering number of guns," said LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith. Police also found roughly two tons of ammunition.

"Our truck couldn't carry it all," Smith said. "We had to go back and make another trip."

'When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.'






Well here's the update

1.They also found eight of the 14 vehicles registered to the man stashed across Los Angeles, including a Toyota SUV designed to drive underwater.

2. They found $230,000 in cash in the house

3. The guns are worth more than $5 million 6.5 tons of ammo not two... storage sheds on property had more


4. His female companion/fiance of 15 years abandoned his body in his car, and departed to Oregon for 10 days.

5 Fiance returns after ten days and calls lawyer to report dead body in car to police


6. Hearsay:
Mother of fiance's co-worker (a tenuous relation) says he's an alien.


7 Shirley Anderson, a 93 year old woman claims to be Lash's mother.
She says his late father owned a medical lab.
She also claims that she doesn't know where Lash's money came from no trust fund.


8 UCLA spokesman Ricardo Vasquez said Lash was a student at one point but said he could not release details about his enrollment because Lash had requested that his records remain private.




9 Neighbors thought Lash was dying of cancer because he appeared to be degenerating over the past year, but Lash told Nebron that he had been exposed to nerve-damaging chemicals on a mission and his condition was worsening.


10. Neighbors said the man claimed to be affiliated with the CIA and the military.



here are some links to what I've found
