<p class="mol-para-with-font">Adam Matos, confessed in court Wednesday to killing his ex-girlfriend, Megan Brown; her parents, Margaret and Gregory Brown and her new boyfriend, Nick Leonard.<br />
After killing the four, Matos lived in their Hudson home for several days, ordering pizza and selling their dogs on CraigsList in 2014, he said.<br />
Matos also told the court that after the murders, he went out one night and got drunk in a bar with one of the next-door neighbors.<br />
He later took the bodies to a nearby hill and stacked them on top of each other and then fled to Tampa with his 4-year-old son.<br />
Matos was arrested on September 5, 2014, at a Tampa Bay area hotel with his missing four-year-old autistic son, Ismael Tristan Santisteban.<br />
The suspect sat emotionless as the verdict was read out on Thursday while the victim&#8217;s family wept openly, in court.<br />
&#8216;The worst part is over,&#8217; Leonard&#8217;s mother, Paula Rystrom, told the <a class="" href="http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/Adam-Matos-guilty-in-brutal-Hudson-quadruple-murder_162703407" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Tampa Bay Times. </a></p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Matos had denied murdering his ex and her family, as well as her new partner, and refuted a police report that stated he had threatened Megan Brown with a knife on August 28, the last day anyone had heard from her. He offered up his own theory of what happened, claiming a woman was stalking Brown and sending her threatening letters.<br />
The case came to a head on Thursday when in dramatic fashion the suspect admitted to the murders in court.<br />
He said a combination of self-defense and &#8216;paranoia&#8217; drove him to kill the family of his ex, and had left his four-year-old son, who has autism, alone at the murder scene when he went to buy a shovel to bury the bodies.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">The sentencing phase begins Monday. The state plans to seek the death penalty, else Matos could spend the rest of his life behind bars. A jury must reach a unanimous decision for a death penalty to be imposed.<br />
&#8216;Either way his life is over,&#8217; said Leonard&#8217;s father, Daniel Leonard after the trial, &#8216;and that&#8217;s basically all we can really ask for, to keep him off the streets, because obviously he was not a very good person.&#8217;</p>
