California Murder Suspect Found Dead
On Friday, the body of a man suspected of killing a 74-year-old grandmother was found in the unincorporated part of Calimesa, California. Jeff Nolen, 38, had been identified by a San Diego Country sheriff as the live-in boyfriend of the slain women’s granddaughter and the father of the granddaughter’s three children.
The name of the elderly murder victim has not been released, but the Medical Examiner’s Office said she had been strangled and was believed to be dead for several days before her body was discovered last Thursday when San Diego County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a request for a welfare check.
The granddaughter, 32-year-old Amy Jo Mitchell, was arrested last week on suspicion of financial abuse of an elder. She was being held in lieu of $50,00 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon. The cause of death for her boyfriend Nolen has not been released to the public.
