A California man whoallegedly rapped in a karaoke bar about killing and burying a womanon the very day his girlfriend vanished has been charged with murder in connection with the still-missing woman’s disappearance.
Amanda Custer, 31, vanished on the morning of July 29. At the time, she was both witness and an alleged victim in a pending domestic battery case against her sometime-boyfriend, 27-year-old Robert Camou.
Later that night, a patron in the King Eddy Saloon in downtown Los Angeles filmed Camou as he took to the microphone and rapped “I killed my [expletive] and buried that [expletive] in the [expletive] dirt,” reportsKTLA.
“At first I was like, did he say that?,” Michael Moore, who filmed the video, told the outlet. “And he said it with such force.”
The man then “mentioned something about the police and that he needed to close his mouth now, and he walked off,” Moore told CBS Los Angeles.
“I think that everyone in the bar that heard him kinda stopped,” Moore told KTLA. “Time just stopped. And there were some hardcore rappers up in there, and they stopped.”
Police on the lookout for Camou’s gray Toyota Prius subsequently arrested him in the vehicle following a standoff less than a mile from the bar.
