Records obtained by News 6 show the woman with whom investigators said Amato had a longstanding and expensive online relationship.
According to the records, the woman known as Sylvie lived in Bulgaria, and Amato had been purchasing clothing, lingerie and other gifts for her.
Investigators said it was a relationship that cost Amato's family more than $200,000 in stolen money.
The documents include a handwritten agreement that appeared to be drawn up by Amato's family in an effort to get him on the right track.

The agreement demanded Amato not have any more cellphone data service, suggesting a possible flip phone instead.
