A man who was found dead in a vehicle in a Pacific Palisades neighborhood last week and linked to a home where police discovered a massive cache of firearms appears to have been a 60-year-old longtime Los Angeles County gun collector, police and others said Wednesday.
An attorney representing the dead man’s fiancée identified him as Jeffrey Alan Lash. Several law enforcement sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because an LAPD investigation into the death is ongoing, said detectives believe the dead man was Lash but have not made a conclusive identification.
Shirley Anderson, the longtime partner of Lash’s late father, said she hadn’t seen Lash since 2010 but received a call last week from the L.
