In the warrant obtained by state police charging Valiante, investigators described DNA evidence found in both Kyle Navin's truck and in the basement of his home.
Blood found along with a bullet hole on the front passenger seat of the Kyle Navin's truck tested positive for Jeanette Navin's blood, according to the warrant. In the basement of Kyle Navin's Bridgeport home, police found blood stains that tested positive for both his blood and his father's blood.
According to the warrant, Jeanette Navin's remains were found covered by a blue tarp with silver duct tape on it, in a pile of brush and leaves on property on Norfield Road. Jeffrey Navin's remains were also found on the property inside dark contractor bags. The legs were bound with painter's tape. (Guess what Kyle's profession was. That's right, a painter.)
Jeanette Navin's remains were X-rayed, revealing an object "consistent with a bullet in the chest region," the warrant said. A projectile, investigators said in the warrant, was recovered from the pelvic area of Jeffery Navin's remains. (So the blood found in the bullet hole area matched his mother and she was shot in the chest. The position of the bullet hole in the seat matches to where the chest region would have been.)
Investigators also reviewed text messages sent between Kyle Navin and Valiante before the disappearance. In one July conversation, Kyle Navin says in three messages: "I'm telling you. … Wipe out the infection and get $ for life. … It's perfect plan," according to the warrant.
In one July exchange, he mentioned a plan to "solve every single problem and give us a wealthy amazing life," The New York Times reported, citing an affidavit used to obtain the arrest warrant. She replied: "I hear ya. It sounds very good I just don't know."
Included in the evidence, she said, is a series of text messages in which his father questioned whether Kyle Navin had killed his mother and the fact that both Navins' cellphones had "magically stopped working near his house in Bridgeport."
Authorities said Kyle Navin told police conflicting versions of his actions on the day his parents disappeared. The day after his parents vanished, Kyle Navin bought germicidal bleach, drain opener, stain remover and contractor cleanup bags, police said.
Kyle's younger brother, Taylor, who lives in Mississippi, was also interviewed by police, according to the arrest affidavit for Valiante.
When police said his brother was a person of interest in his parents' disappearance, he responded: "When I heard my parents were missing I thought to myself, 'they either went on vacation, or my brother did something to them.'"
