Dead LA man who had 1, two hundred guns identified, is part alien – NY Daily News
Dead LA man who had 1,200 guns, underwater car identified; believed to be ‘part alien’ secret government worker
The mystery behind a Los Angeles gun fanatic found decomposing in a car last week has deepened as his fiancée’s family said he was an alien-hybrid secretly working for the government.
The bizarre statement came Wednesday as the betrothed woman’s lawyer identified the dead man as Jeffrey Alan Lash — almost one week after he was discovered rotting in his car parked on the street in the tony Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
Los Angeles police found more than 1,200 guns, almost seven tons of ammunition, bows and arrows, knives, machetes and $230,000 in cash inwards Lash’s home last Friday.
They also discovered a Toyota SUV designed to drive underwater among the fourteen vehicles registered in his name.
The collection was as odd as Lash’s confessions to his soon-to-be-wife Catherine Nebron that he was working as an undercover operative for numerous unnamed government agencies, according to her defense attorney Harland Braun.
“The story itself sounds totally crazy, but then how do you explain all this?” Braun said. “There’s no evidence he was a drug dealer or he stole these weapons, or had any criminal source of income, no stolen property, all the stuff you’d look for.”
Police inspect some of the 1,200 guns found in the condo of a man who was decomposing in a car down the street for about two weeks.
A cache of weapons was found during a death investigation in the upscale west Los Angeles neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, California, last week.
Lash was also believed to be an alien “sent to Earth to protect us,” according to Laura VadBunker, the mother of 39-year-old Dawn VadBunker, who used to work for Nebron.
“I can’t believe this,” Laura VadBunker told KTLA. “It’s worse than a Twilight Zone movie. He was part alien and part human and was out to save the world.”
Authorities are still working to confirm the man’s identity and figure out why he possessed so many cars and firearms, many of which were still in boxes or had price tags.
LAPD Deputy Chief of Detectives Kirk Albanese said he does not believe he was doing anything illegal with the weapons.
He had been decomposing inwards his car for almost two weeks before police found him on July 17.
Dawn VadBunker, 39, who used to work for Lash’s fiancee, believed Lash was a “part alien” hero sent to save the world, her mother told KTLA.
Police do not suspect any foul play involved in his death, but there is an investigation into the cause.
Braun said Nebron parked him in a car down the street from the condo they collective after he died. He had trouble breathing but refused to go to the hospital or call 911, the attorney said.
The longtime gf of seventeen years then left for Oregon, believing government agencies would come for his assets and the items in his house.
