Behind You

21 year-old Cody Lot was described by others as dysfunctional and disturbed. Cody at this point had dropped out of school, got fired from all his jobs and spent most of his day doing hard drugs with his friends. At 20, Cody was diagnosed with a psychoactive disorder and around this time is when he set his eyes on 13- year old Lauren Landavazo. Lauren would walk past Cody's home everyday, her usual route home from school and from the time Cody saw her, he fell in love. He began learning Lauren routine, when she walked home from school, what school she went to, her friends, her family, her social media and interests. Cody had been stalking Lauren for a year with no contact and kept his obsession a secret but felt that she belonged to him. But all this love would turn into rage when one day Cody sees Lauren walking home from school holding hands with another teenage boy. Cody then started dedicating all his time to “work and talk with the devil” to create a plan on how to kill Lauren and “Save her”. Cody believed if he murdered Lauren he would be able to save her from the evil in this world if she were to grow up and felt Lauren was also his sacrifice to the devil, and he would be given an amazing afterlife in return.

On Thursday, July 19, 2007, police arrived at the San Diego home of Tim MacNeil. It was here where police found Tim’s body lying in his game room lying in a pool of blood. The back door was wide open, there was a gun on the back porch and Tim's daughter, 17 year-old Bray was tied up with zip ties, hysterically crying. Bray told police that a masked man had broke into the home, tied her and her father up then shot and killed her father. Just a mile away from the home police would find a black ski mask in the trees and when tested, there was DNA belonging to Bray's 19 year-old brother, Nathan Mcneil. When Nathan was questioned, he claimed it was Bray's idea and she forced him into it. But ironically, when Bray was questioned, she said it was Nathan's idea and HE had forced HER. But when the police looked through the teen’s phone they would find that not only were both of them equally involved, but they also had been planning this murder for months.
