 After killing his mother during the early hours of Friday morning, Ramos transported her body to a local church and buried her “beneath a fire pit” before going back to their house and enlisting “the help of two friends, also juveniles, to stage a burglary scene,” officials said. 
 
 Detectives identified Ramos’ friends as Dylan Ceglarek and Brian Porras, both 17. The two boys are in custody and are “facing multiple criminal charges.” 
 
 The next day, after coming home from school, Ramos called the authorities to report that his home had been burglarized, telling them that “his mom was missing and her van was still running in the driveway,” the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said.

 In a news briefing on Friday, Sheriff Mike Chitwood said that prior to murdering his mother, Ramos and Cleavenger had gotten into “a dispute” about the fact that he had gotten a D in school. 
 
 Cleavenger then called the boy’s father, who was away in Seattle at the time, and went to bed after the phone call was over, police said. 
 
 During a second press conference, the sheriff said that “probably around midnight, he came out of his room and went into his mother’s room, where he proceeded to strangle her and thought she was dead.” 
 
 However, after the boy procured a wheelbarrow to help remove his mother’s body, he realized that his mother was still alive, authorities said. 
 
 “So he went back to strangle her again. Keep in mind, he didn’t strangle her with a rope, he used his bare hands, which by his estimate, took him 30 minutes to kill her,” Chitwood said. 
 
 After the boys successfully buried Ramos’ mother, they allegedly had “a celebratory soda” before going their separate ways. 
 
 The sheriff went on to reveal that authorities received a call from Ramos after he came home from school on Friday, and that it quickly became clear that his story didn’t add up. 
 
 During his confession, Ramos showed “no sign of remorse whatsoever,” Chitwood said.

 In addition to recovering some of the items Damos and his friends removed from the home in order to stage the robbery, deputies were able to recover a shovel, used to bury Clevenger, as well as a broom, which was used to “straighten up the scene around the fire pit,” according to detectives. 
 
 Early on Saturday morning, detectives were able to locate Cleavenger’s body, and Chitwood announced during the press briefing that authorities would begin exhuming her body that day.

 “The case we worked tonight was one of the most disturbing and saddest I’ve seen in my career. I have a feeling this is a case we’ll be hearing about for years to come. All our hearts break for this family,” Chitwood wrote on Twitter.

 DeBARY, Fla. - The body of a missing 46-year-old Volusia County woman was found buried under a fire pit at a church early Saturday after her 15-year-old son confessed to killing her, sheriff's officials said. 
 
 The Volusia County Sheriff's Office said Gregory Logan Ramos was arrested on murder charges in the death of Gail Cleavenger. 
 
 According to detectives, Ramos confessed to strangling his mother Thursday night at the family's home on Alicante Road in DeBary. Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said Ramos was motivated by rage after the two got in a dispute about Ramos' grades at school.

 Deputies said Ramos told them he spent around 30 minutes killing his mother, after she survived a first strangulation attempt. Ramos used a wheelbarrow to load her body into a van and he buried her at River City Church on Highbanks Road early Friday, authorities said. 
 
 Chitwood said the case was "one of the most disturbing and saddest I've seen in my career." 
 
 Ramos told detectives he enlisted the help of two friends to bury the body and stage a burglary scene at the Alicante Road house. The friends, Dylan Ceglarek and Brian Porras, both of whom are 17, are charged with acting as accessories to a first degree murder. 
 
 Deputies said Ramos reported that he returned home from school Friday and discovered that the house had been burglarized, his mother was missing and her van was running in the driveway. He then made a 911 call to report the alleged burglary. 
 
 According to officials, Ramos later confessed to killing his mother. Chitwood said the teenager's confession was "cold and calculated" and lacked emotion. 
 
 "He is a soulless individual who thought he was gonna outsmart everyone in the room," Chitwood said. 
 
 Deputies said they have recovered the items, including a Playstation 4 and rifle, removed from the home in the staged burglary. Ceglarek and Porras were the ones who led authorities to the items as well as the body, according to officials.

 Deputies said they also recovered a shovel and broom used to bury Cleavenger and straighten up the scene around the fire pit. 
 
 Ramos' stepfather, who lives at the home, was away on a business trip during the incident, Chitwood said. He returned home Friday night. 
 
 According to Chitwood, detectives knew the story was suspicious even before Ramos confessed. 
 
 "Just the whole scenario, the whole thing, the crime scene, when you start interviewing the kid -- things were just not adding up," Chitwood said. "Things were missed from the very beginning."

 - The shocking crime stunned the tight-knit DeBary neighborhood where the Cleavenger family lives. 
 
 Volusia County deputies say Gail Cleavenger, 46, was murdered by her son Gregory Ramos, 15, after an argument over his poor grades. 
 
 “Now, it's reality come home,” said neighbor Lynn Hacket, wiping away tears. “Gail was a sweet lady, her and Danny, her husband.” 
 
 Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood showed reporters exactly where they say Cleavenger's 15 year-old son, Greg, buried her. 
 
 He said it was like Ramos couldn't wait to tell them what he did. 
 
 “It was his hour to shine,” Chitwood said. “He got out of the back of that police car and bouncing on his toes, so excited to get back here - with us trailing him - to reenact what occurred.” 
 
 Chitwood described the murder step-by-step. 
 
 “Probably around midnight he left his room and went into his mother's room, where he proceeded to strangle her,” Chitwood said. “Thought she was dead. He went into the back of the house to get a wheelbarrow to remove her body and realized she wasn't dead, so he went back to strangle her again.” 
 
 Chitwood said Ramos then got his best friends, 17 year-old classmates Dylan Ceglarek and Brian Porras, to help cover it up. 
 
 Deputies say after Ramos strangled his mother inside the house, Ramos and his friends trashed the place to make it look like a break-in. 
 
 Chitwood said it all started in a fight over Ramos' bad grades. 
 
 “His mother started to question him about his marks, in particular a 'D' he received in a certain subject.” 
 
 Sgt. AJ Pagliari, the detective who interrogated Ramos, said the teen knew what he was doing. 
 
 “Very cold, calculating, unemotional,” he said. “Very proud of what he did. He wanted me to go to the crime scene and admire his work.” 
 
 Chitwood said the evil Ramos did was unique. 
 
 “Of all the work that I've done,” he said, “he's probably one of the top three sociopaths I've come across.” 
 
 Ramos was charged with first degree murder. 
 
 His friends were charged as accessories to the crime. 
 
 All of them will face a Volusia County judge Sunday morning.
– The murder of Gail Cleavenger is as gruesome as it is chilling, with the local sheriff telling Fox 35 that the case is "one of the most disturbing and saddest I've seen in my career." Police in Volusia County, Fla., have charged Cleavenger's 15-year-old son, Gregory Logan Ramos, with strangling his mother in the early hours of Friday after the pair argued about a D grade he'd gotten in school. Sometime around midnight, police say Ramos entered his mother's room and strangled her, he thought to death; as he moved her with a wheelbarrow, he discovered she was still alive. Per Sheriff Mike Chitwood: "So he went back to strangle her again. Keep in mind, he didn’t strangle her with a rope, he used his bare hands, which by his estimate, took him 30 minutes to kill her." Ramos told police he later buried his mother beneath a fire pit and staged a burglary at the house with the help of two friends, who are also charged. When Ramos' story began to unravel, however, he confessed to the murder and led authorities to the scene in what Chitwood describes as "his hour to shine. He got out of the back of that police car and bouncing on his toes, so excited to get back here—with us trailing him—to reenact what occurred." Ramos stands charged with first degree murder, notes People, and cops aren't mincing words in describing the teen: Sgt. AJ Pagliari, who interrogated Ramos, called him "Very cold, calculating, unemotional,” he said. "Very proud of what he did. He wanted me to go to the crime scene and admire his work." Further, "he's probably one of the top three sociopaths I've come across." Adds to Chitwood to ClickOrlando: "He is a soulless individual who thought he was gonna outsmart everyone in the room."
