Tonight’s case is one that rattled a small seaside town in Ireland — and left the entire country asking: how can someone vanish without a trace… in their own home?

The last time anyone outside of her household saw Tina Satchwell alive was on March 19, 2017. She and her husband, Richard, were browsing through bargains at a local car boot sale. By all accounts, it was just a regular Sunday. No drama. No suspicious behaviour. Nothing that would suggest that just one day later, Tina would be gone.

According to Richard, Tina asked him to make a trip to Aldi the following morning, March 20. He left their home in Youghal around 10 a.m., grabbed a few things from the store, and got back at 2 p.m. But when he walked through the door, Tina wasn’t there. Her keys were on the floor. Her phone was on the table. Her beloved dogs were still inside the house, alone. But she… was gone.

It wasn’t until four days later that Richard contacted Tina’s family — and then the Gardaí — to report her missing. He claimed she’d taken off with two suitcases, a stash of cash totalling around €26,000, and seemingly no plan to come back.

That’s when the mystery deepened. Despite extensive investigations, forensic searches, and even international tips, every lead led to a dead end. Tina Satchwell had vanished — and no one could figure out how or why.

But just when everyone began to believe this case might remain unsolved forever… a shocking discovery turned everything upside down.

What happens when obsession crosses the line into destruction? When fantasy becomes more important than family? And when one man’s delusion spirals so far out of control… it ends in bloodshed?

Night after night, Grant Amato sat in the dim glow of his family’s computer screen, utterly captivated by a woman thousands of miles away — a Bulgarian webcam model named Silvie. She danced. She posed. She told him everything he wanted to hear… for a price. And Grant? He paid it. Thousands of dollars. Hours of his time. His job. His dignity. And eventually… much, much more.

When the money ran out, he stole from the people who loved him the most — his own family. Hoping to keep the fantasy alive, he lied. Again. And again. Until his family had had enough. They begged him to get help. They gave him a choice: leave Silvie… or leave their home. Grant chose neither. Instead, prosecutors say, he chose murder.

On a quiet night in January 2019, in the suburb of Chuluota, Florida, Grant Amato’s mother, father, and brother were found brutally gunned down in their home. But that’s not where this story ends.

Because here we are — in 2025 — and somehow, somehow, Grant Amato’s name is back in the headlines… this time, tied to a murder-for-hire plot targeting Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin.
