Anthony Michael Corrado called a housekeeper to help clean the crime scene

After allegedly clobbering his grandmother, at about 2:30 pm, Anthony Michael Corrado contacted a housekeeper to assist him in cleaning the Golden Gate Estates residence on 16th Street Northeast.

The Naples Daily News reported that the arrest affidavit stated that the suspect called the housekeeper to help him with a "real mess."

Upon her arrival, Anthony, who was blood-stained, guided her through the blood-spattered residence to a bedroom where his grandmother's mutilated body lay wrapped in a tarp.

The housekeeper mentioned that the deceased victim had a bag wrapped around her head, and when she attempted to take it off, Anthony reportedly prevented her as it would smear blood everywhere.

According to the housekeeper, Anthony Michael Corrado allegedly asked her to carry the body out of the residence. When she asked him to call 911, Anthony declined, stating he did not want to go back to prison.

The housekeeper left the scene after she made an excuse that she needed cleaning supplies from her car and located a Collier County Sheriff's deputy in his patrol vehicle a short distance away.

The New York Post reported that during that time, Anthony allegedly physically assaulted his grandfather. Upon arrival, deputies located Micheal wearing blood-spattered clothes in the driveway next to a car with the trunk open.

According to a report by Miami Herald, deputies found the 82-year-old female victim dead in the bedroom, with injuries to the head from blunt force trauma. They also found the second victim, a 74-year-old male, alive and wrapped in a blanket with injuries consistent with blunt head trauma. Anthony's grandfather was airlifted to the Gulf Coast Medical Center's trauma unit in Fort Myers.

Deputies also located a hammer with blood on a kitchen countertop and blood on the walls and floors inside the residence.
