Grant Anderson was a 29-year-old nurse, out of work for six months, living with his parents and older brother Cody in Florida. During that time, he had secretly spent roughly $200,000—much of it his father’s money—on a cam model in Bulgaria named Sylvie, whom he considered a virtual girlfriend. When his father discovered Grant was still talking to her after being ordered to stop, he kicked him out of the house. Grant left around midnight.
