A California man now under arrest in connection with a woman’s disappearance allegedly appears on video from a bar’s karaoke night to be rapping about killing and burying someone on the very day she vanished.
“At first I was like, did he say that?,” says Michael Moore, who filmed the video Monday night, reportsKTLA. “And he said it with such force.”
On Tuesday Moore says he saw the same man, 27-year-old Robert Camou, on television being hauled off in handcuffs after a standoff with police in downtown Los Angeles.
“Same guy … no doubt in my mind,” Moore toldCBS Los Angeles.
The karaoke rap at The King Eddy Saloon happened as police searched for Camou, who they’d named earlier Monday as a suspect in the disappearance of his girlfriend, 31-year-old Amanda Custer.

The evidence at the scene included blood, sheriff’s homicide Lt. Scott Hoglund told the media, reports theSan Gabriel Valley Tribune.
A volatile relationship between the pair, who had dated for about two years, had led to “numerous domestic violence incidents,” Hoglund alleged.

That night in the bar as Moore watched and filmed, the man he later recognized as Camou took the microphone.
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.”
He is being held without bail on suspicion of burglary and domestic violence. An attorney who might speak on his behalf was not immediately identified.
The sheriff’s department urges anyone with information about Custer’s disappearance to call 323-890-5500.
