California Man Was Not Actually Human-Alien Hybrid Sent to Save Humanity
LatestThe circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Lash’s death on July 4 in a wealthy Los Angeles suburb are still unclear. Also unknown is where Lash managed to acquire the hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and the many, many guns found in his home. However, contrary to what he told two devout followers, we can be pretty sure of three things: he was not, in fact, part alien, was not sent to Earth to save us all, and did not work for the CIA. Bummer.
Jeffrey Alan Lash was 60 years old when he collapsed and died in Santa Monica, not far from his home in the toney Pacific Palisades. For the past month, police and reporters have been slowly unraveling the lies he told to his fiancee, Catherine Nebron, as well as her assistant Dawn VadBunker. In late July, KTLA reported that Lash had managed to convince Nebron and VadBunker that he was a human-alien hybrid working on a top secret mission for the U.S. government. As The Guardian later reported, he was also secretive about how he’d made his considerable wealth, sometimes told people his name was Bob Smith, and made Nebron drive in a separate car when they went out to dinner. (Lash reportedly had 12 cars, one of them bulletproof.)
Harlan Braun, an attorney representing Nebron, revealed much of this weirdness as part of her bid to explain why Nebron and VadBunker watched Lash collapse and die in a parking lot, then left Lash’s body in his SUV and fled without calling the police. Lash evidently instructed Nebron and VadBunker not to call 911, telling them that the shadowy government agents he worked for would arrive to whisk his body away. (KTLA recently reported, in an odd detail yet to be explained, that Nebron’s ex-husband, a dentist named Phillip Gorin, was also present when Lash collapsed.)
