Dad asks son to help dispose of murdered prostitute's body (Orlando, Florida)

Hmm. This is the SECOND recent case I have seen of a father who asked his son to help him dispose of the body of a murder victim. Is this the new craze for father-son bonding? Dad ALAN JOHN JETT is the father behind this outrage. He appears to be custodial, as there is no mention of a mother--the child was placed with "a relative" after Dad's arrest.

Police: Florida Dad Asked Son to Help Dispose of Murdered Prostitute's Body
Wednesday, July 08, 2009

ORLANDO, Fla. — A man charged with killing a prostitute in central Florida and then dumping her body asked his fifth-grade son to help dispose the body, police said.

Alan John Jett, 40, is charged with first-degree murder in the June slaying of Lashanda Rae Brand, Orange County sheriff's officials said. Investigators received a tip that Jett's son told a classmate about the slaying.

The boy was interviewed at school late last month, and authorities said he gave up his father.

According to the affidavit, the boy said he heard his father and Brand argue about money. He told investigators he later saw Brand's body wrapped in a blanket and tape.

The Department of Children and Families placed the boy with a relative.
