Long Beach, California, police have arrested a fourth person for investigation of the murders of a retired Arizona ham radio couple who disappeared after showing their yacht to prospective buyers. John Fitzgerald Kennedy -- no relation to the former president -- was stopped by police while driving. He was booked into the Newport Beach jail on a double-murder arrest warrant with no bail on Thursday, March 3rd.
Kennedy is the fourth person in custody in the alleged deaths of Thomas and Jackie Hawks, KD7VWJ, and KD7VWK. As reported last week, Myron Gardner, Alonso Machain and Skylar Deleon had already been charged with two counts each of murder with special circumstances.
Authorities did not disclose Kennedy's alleged role in the case. The Hawks were last seen in mid-November and became the object of an intense search after they failed to return from showing their 55-foot cabin cruiser, the Well Deserved. Prosecutors charged Gardner, Machain and Deleon three men with murdering the couple in a scheme to steal the boat and other financial assets.

Under California law, a special circumstance charge makes Gardner, Machain and Deleon eligible for the death penalty or life in prison without parole if convicted. Investigators say that at least one more arrest in the case is expected. (NBPD, Published News Reports)
