The Trigg County man wanted for questioning in connection to the July 3 murder of two Cadiz residents has been arrested in California.
29-year-old Landon Stinson was arrested in Los Angeles Monday afternoon by the California Highway Patrol. Kentucky State Police said they wanted to question Stinson hours after 76-year-old Mildred Faris and her 28-year-old great-nephew Matthew Blakeley were found dead in Faris’ Cerulean Road home Saturday morning. Autopsies determined they died from gunshot wounds.
Detectives flew to California and have interviewed Stinson concerning the deaths. He was being held without bail in the Los Angeles County Jail on an unspecified felony charge. He will be served with a Trigg County felony warrant of possession of a controlled substance first-degree when he returns to Kentucky.
Kentucky State Police said they are continuing to investigate the case.
