Mystery Surrounding Man's Body, Weapons Cache, Missing Fiancee Stuff Of Movie Plot

LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) — The body of a mystery man was decomposing in his car in the ritzy Pacific Palisades neighborhood for nearly two weeks before he was found by authorities, an attorney said.

Inside his home, detectives discovered more than 1,200 guns, scopes, 6.5 tons of ammunition, bows and arrows, knives, machetes and $230,000 in cash after he was found on Friday. Residents of the townhome complex where the man lived were evacuated Saturday as investigators removed the weapons and ammunition.

They also located eight of the 14 vehicles stashed around Los Angeles registered to the man, including an SUV designed to drive underwater.

Who he was and how he came to accumulate the arsenal and vehicles are questions authorities are still trying to answer.

Veteran defense attorney Harland Braun represents the man’s fiancee Catherine Nebron and identified him as Jeffrey Alan Lash.

That’s also the name authorities are working with and they’re in touch with a relative to try to officially identify the body, said Craig Harvey, the coroner’s chief of investigations.

Lash and Nebron were together for 17 years and she believed him when he told her that he worked as an undercover operative for unnamed government agencies, Braun said Wednesday.

“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.”

Walter Mitty with an arsenal or the Men in Black had a fail.

An SUV designed to drive underwater? What is one of those worth, and how does it work. How well does it work?

And 6 1/2 tons of ammo? Thats the equivalent weight of three cars. I think its legit, he was working for 'Meester Beeg' as they say

What you need for submersible vehicles is a check valve for the exhaust and either a snorkel for the air intake or an air tank. Back when I lived in Orlado; I hung out with some sFx guys from Universal. Oh the stuff on the back lot..

You have to wonder if this guy was a middle man for sales or just OCD for weapons.

There can be only one answer, they are really Boris and Natasha Badenov!

The closest thing I could find on YouTube to a SUV that can drive underwater, a Hummer that was able to keep going though completely submerged for a short time

Appears to me as though the video is cut just as the adventure began to turn out badly...

They also have snorkels for Jeeps, Rangers, FJ Cruisers and most 4 x 4 models... and apparently VW owners will put a snorkel on anything! LINK

I know this topic is aging but this is entertaining enough I thought an update was called for.

The girlfriend thought he was an alien.

This one gives a little more of the 'down to earth' details.
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/23/jeffrey-alan-lash-firearms-spy

Regardless, there is apparently no more explanation for all of this than that he was just a paranoid man with a vivid imagination and money to spend.

That, *and* classic 70s styling to disguise it. Unbeatable! ;-)
