1979 murder suspect in Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office custody

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - After disappearing more than 30 years ago during a homicide investigation, the murder suspect in the death of a Lake Park woman is back in the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office's custody.

In July of 1979, after a wellness check was done on then 29-year-old Charlene Nelson at her Lake Park home, investigators found her body badly beaten and stabbed to death.

Palm Beach County investigators say at the time Nelson was living with Jon Charles Black, who was known to authorities at the time of the homicide as Jon Good.

Nelson's car was later found in Orlando with Black's wallet inside, but Black couldn't be found and a second-degree murder warrant was issued for Jon Good, who was described as being a 36-year-old plasterer, PBSO spokeswoman Teri Barbera said.

In April of 2011, Citrus County authorities arrested Bob Jay Parsons on a second-degree murder charge in the suspected killing of his 57-year-old girlfriend, Arlene Preg.

The Citrus County Sheriff's Office has said that Preg was found bludgeoned in the back yard of the couple's home and accuse Black of comitting the crime.

A short time later it was discovered Parsons' true identity is Jon Charles Black and was wanted on the arrest warrant for Nelson's murder.

Barbera said in April the fingerprints obtained by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Cold Case detectives matched the ones the Citrus County Sheriff's Office were able to obtain on Parsons, who was actually Jon Black.

Monday, the now 69-year-old man, who has lived under different names since 1979, made a first appearance in a Palm Beach County court after being extradited from Citrus County.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
