State Police also arrested Kyle Navin’s girlfriend, 31-year-old Westport resident Jennifer Valiante, and charged her with conspiracy to murder and hindering prosecution. Police also have arrested Jennifer Valiante, 31, Kyle Navin’s girlfriend.
The bodies of a couple from Easton that had been missing since August were found in Weston just days ago.
Kyle Navin is a suspect in the murder of his parents, Jeffrey and Jeanette Navin. He’d also failed to pay any mortgage or taxes after his parents bought him a home.
In turn the mother told of her and husband’s plans to sell their trash-hauling business, cut their son out of their will, leaving Kyle without any financial support from the family.
With the text messages and other evidence, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents got a search warrant for Kyle’s home.
In one July exchange, he mentioned a plan to “solve every single problem and give us a wealthy fantastic life”.
According to the affidavit, she replied: “I hear ya”. “Even if you didn’t know this, it’s been very taxing for the people in this town”.
He specified later in the conversation: “Wipe out the infection and get $ for life”.
In the days after they disappeared, their elder son’s account of when and where he last saw his parents, and what he discussed with them, changed over several days during interviews with the local and State Police, according to an affidavit written last month by Michael Zuk, an F.B.I. agent.
Kyle Navin appeared Friday at a detention hearing on an unrelated gun charge.
Kyle’s lawyer did not return a call from BuzzFeed News seeking comment Saturday.
“Police say the accumulated evidence “‘very strongly suggests’ that Navin killed his parents”, according to NBC Connecticut. Her comments came during a hearing on the weapons charges.
On August 9 the Navin’s pickup truck was found with a shattered window in a parking lot in Westport.
Court documents also surfaced showing that Jeffrey – who co-owned waste management company J&J Refuse – was more than $2 million in debt. Jeannette Navin, 55, was a school library aide in Weston. His mother’s blood was found in the area of a bullet hole in his vehicle and evidence of his father’s blood was found at his residence in Bridgeport. Authorities searched the suspect’s home and found blood stains that matched both Kyle and his father.
Authorities continued to search the property Friday. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Police say they have a lead in the case of a missing Connecticut couple. On August 4th, the New York Times reports, Jeffrey texted his son asking, “Did you hurt mom?”
The same day the Navins were reported missing, law enforcement officers spoke to Kyle Navin.
According to the arrest warrant affidavit for Ms Valiante, Jeffrey Navin texted his son on August 4 – the day he disappeared – saying he would not go home until he knew his wife was OK.
On May 14, Kyle Navin told Valiante in a text message that they needed to figure out the best way to “take them down”, referring to his parents, and “get a few money out of them somehow”, according to the affidavit.

A half hour before Jeffrey Navin’s phone is last registered as being used – at 12:57 p.m. – there was another text message to his son: “U R setting me up”.
