In a recent development in the investigation of the murder of an elderly couple in Fort Lauderdale, a suspect has been arrested. The tragic incident occurred on March 22 when the couple was found shot dead in their Melrose Park home. The police discovered that the stolen car of the victims was found, and the individual who allegedly took it was identified as someone close to the family. Following the discovery of the victims' bodies, detectives interviewed family members and reviewed security footage showing an unidentified vehicle arriving at the victims' home around 1 a.m. on the day of the murder. Subsequently, a tow truck driver revealed that he had been contacted to pick up a 2012 Ford Fusion for sale, which was later linked to the suspect, Newson, who claimed to have recently purchased the vehicle. Further investigation revealed that Newson had been seen around the victims' home after their death, exhibiting suspicious behavior and inquiring about the progress of the police investigation. Additionally, a family member underwent a lie detector test conducted by an FBI agent, which indicated deception regarding their involvement in the crime. The family member admitted to having a past romantic relationship with Newson but provided limited information about him. On May 16, the police confirmed Newson's identity as the individual who sold the victims' car. The investigation continues as authorities work to uncover more details surrounding the motive and circumstances of the elderly couple's tragic murder in Fort Lauderdale.
