On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we look at the case of a most mysterious man named Jeffrey Alan Lash. His case may be unknown to many, but it sensationalized the news media of Los Angeles in 2015. In July of that year, Jeffrey Alan Lash was found dead in his SUV near his home in Palisades Park. He was packed in dry ice and wrapped in blankets. He was left there, so his super-elite covert team could recover his body. When the LAPD got there, they discovered hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, 1200 firearms, a bullet proof car, and six tons of ammunition. Quite simply, the dead Jeffrey Alan Lash was a spy. Or a conman. Or a cult leader. Or an alien hybrid. You listen, you decide.

Lash was born in Westchester and had a normal upbringing by all accounts. He dropped out of UCLA, and in the late 1980s, he started a 20 year romance with a woman named Michelle Lyons. The only problem was, when she bought a condo, he secured a room that she could never enter. And he gave her a false name. And he told her he was a spy. She said he was “the one” and stayed with him, even as he amassed an arsenal. Eventually, he told her a big operation was happening, and he had to move in with a another woman. And so it went.

Eventually, Jeffrey Alan Lash moved in with Catherine Nebron (and her husband?), and befriended Nebron’s personal assistant Dawn Marie VadBunker. After only one meeting with Lash, Dawn Marie started eating raw meat and told her mother that Lash was an alien hybrid bent on saving the world. Like you do.

So after years of living under the alias Bob Smith, amassing weapons and cash, and being paranoid, Lash finally succumbed to some sort of cancer. As per his instructions, they packed his body on ice, so his mercenary group could dispose of it, and VadBunker and Nebron bugged out to Oregon for a time. But, no group ever took his body, so there it rotted until the LAPD was tipped off.

So, how did this Oregon move lead to a missing person’s report? Where did VadBunker end up, and how does it connect to a mystical healer code-named Tara? Why did VadBunker cut off all ties to her mother and daughters? Why did Jeffrey Alan Lash eat a diet of raw grass fed meat? How did nobody manage to get arrested by the LAPD when they found this two week old corpse rotting in a car? Was this guy a tinker, a tailor, a soldier, a spy? A conman, a grifter, a cultist, a reptoid? Listen, laugh, learn.
