Citrus suspect now charged in 1979 murder cold case

Inverness, Florida- The murder of a 57-year old woman in Citrus County has taken a shocking new twist with the arrest of the victim's long time boy friend now wanted on a 30 year old arrest warrant from Palm Beach County.

The suspect known in Citrus County as Bob Jay Parsons was charged with second degree murder in the death of 57 year old Arlene Preg after deputies found him covered in blood parked in a wooded area.

He was taken into custody, but detectives could not find any record of Parsons' past. There was no birth certificate, no social security number, or Drivers License information on file for his name and birth date.
