A former Miami high school assistant principal was taken into custody in the murder of a school staffer who was his childhood friend.
A former Miami high school assistant principal was taken into custody Friday in the murder of a school staffer who was his childhood friend, prosecutors said.
Roberts and Russell knew each other since childhood and Roberts was godfather to Russell's two children, Rundle said. Russell's relatives considered Roberts part of the family, Rundle said. The day Russell disappeared, she drove to Roberts' house, Rundle said, and was last seen alive walking into his home. Less than one hour after she went inside, neighbors' surveillance video showed Roberts driving her car away from his home, Rundle said.
That led to a search warrant, Rundle said. Blood was found in Roberts' home, Rundle said, as well as"extensive evidence" of a clean-up effort.It was not immediately clear if Roberts had an attorney."She just welcomed you in," he said."It's easy to understand how kids gravitated to her."
