A 23-year-old man who is considered the “prime suspect” ( Jacob Nodarse )  in the murder of three family members in Darien was arrested at his parents’ home in southern Florida Wednesday afternoon.

The Chicago Tribune reports that Jacob B. Nodarse was found sleeping in a minivan outside of a home in Lehigh Acres near Fort Myers around 3 p.m. He is being held on an obstruction of justice charge, but police told the Tribune he is a “prime suspect” in the murders of Jeffrey Kramer, 50, his wife Lori, 48, and their son Michael, 20.

Chelsea King Body Found, Authorities say they believe a body found in a grave is a San Diego County teen who formerly lived outside Chicago and who went missing last week.

Sheriff William Gore said the body was located Tuesday afternoon in a shallow grave near Lake Hodges. Gore said it is believed to be that of 17-year-old Chelsea King, who disappeared Thursday.

King’s parents, Brent and Kelly King, have been informed, Gore said, adding that they’re “devastated.”

The likelihood that the body was King’s led thousands to gather for a somber candlelight vigil in her memory.

Back in Naperville, where the Kings lived for 10 years before returning to their native California, Rich Nowell and his family were in complete shock and saddened by Tuesday’s developments

“We’re all numb at the present time and it’s just a tragedy that somebody so kind, so sweet, so generous — that this could happen to somebody like her, and we’re all quite upset,” said Nowell.

Up until just a few hours ago, the family had held onto hope that Chelsea would be found alive.

Fourteen-year-old Alex Nowell is taking the news especially hard.  He said Chelsea was a mentor to him.

“She was just an amazing person.  I felt like she was my sister,” he said as the rest of the Nowell family sobbed in the kitchen.  “She taught me a lot of things.”

Chelsea was last seen Thursday, Feb. 25. before heading out to run after school. Her car was found at the Rancho Bernardo Glassman Community Park. Her cell phone, iPod and school clothes were found inside the car.

Since then, hundreds of volunteers searched the area near Lake Hodges. On Monday, law enforcement sources said an article of King’s clothing was found on the southern edge of the lake.

DNA on the clothing led to the arrest of John Albert Gardner III, according to investigators.  Gardner, a registered sex offender, was uncooperative with authorities and was being held without bail on suspicion of first-degree murder and rape.

He’d been previously linked to an attack on a jogger in December, according to investigators. The woman in that case got away and identified Gardner in a photo lineup.

WASHINGTON: The United States is looking forward to a stable relationship between India and Pakistan, especially as they resume peace talks next week, Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia Robert Blake said.

He said this while talking about the regional dynamics between India, Pakistan and Afghanistan in a speech to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

Blake said Pakistan, India and the US all face the common threat of terrorism. He said, “While we would like to see India and Pakistan reach a stable relationship, they will do so on their own terms at the appropriate time.”

The foreign secretaries of the two countries are all set to resume bilateral talks on February 25 in New Delhi. The composite dialogue and peace process came to a halt in the wake of the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

Earlier this week, the State Department welcomed the political commitment of India and Pakistan to resume peace talks.

Casey James: Denver’s hottest auditioner is a no-brainer; the show’s been teasing viewers with his sexiness for weeks. And we know Kara’s a fan. His popularity was not affected by the fact that he spent some time behind bars.

Aaron Kelly: This 16-year-old countrified contender sang Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb” during auditions. Prior to that, he won Disney World’s American Idol Experience.

Lee Dewyze: The season’s resident rocker may be this little-known Chicago auditioner, who showed Chris Daughtry-like promise with his version of the Fray’s “You Found Me.”

Todrick Hall: He showed exceptional freestyling skill during his Dallas audition, where he wowed the judges with an original song. But since that first appearance Todrick’s progress onstage and off has been fraught with drama. Group auditions didn’t exactly paint him in a positive light.

MUMBAI India: Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s famous poem “Madhushala’ has been made into a song, sung by Mana Dey and composed by Jaidev, a long time ago. However, it turns out that the poet had composed a tune for the poem, which may soon be brought out as a song by his son, Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh has decided that he will soon sing his father’s rendition of “Madhushala’ so that the people can be exposed to the original that his father had composed. Although he likes the Manna Dey-Jaidev version, he would like to sing it with an orchestra as he has lesser film assignments for this year.
