Deputies: 18-year-old murdered his grandmother
He's just a tall, skinny kid, but investigators say tall, skinny 18-year-old Brandon Machetto killed his grandmother, 74-year-old Sylvia Schmitt, stuffed her body into her SUV, and drove around with it for hours until deputies pulled him over.
"Inside we found Mrs. Schmitt, deceased," said Pasco County Sheriff, Chris Nocco.
Family friend Ron Hall taught Brandon martial arts for almost 8 years and said Brandon didn't start out as a troubled child.
