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.

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.

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...
