Medical examiner: Slain Conn. couple died of gunshot wounds

FARMINGTON, Conn. -- Medical examiners say a Connecticut couple whose remains were found last week, three months after they disappeared, died from gunshot wounds.

The Chief Medical Examiner's Office said Thursday that Jeanette Navin was shot in her "torso and extremities" and Jeffrey Navin was shot in his "trunk." The office didn't elaborate.

The Easton couple disappeared Aug. 4 and their bodies were found Oct. 29 behind a vacant home in neighboring Weston.

Police charged their son, Kyle Navin, with murder and his girlfriend, Jennifer Valiante, with conspiracy to commit murder. Navin's lawyer declined to comment on the charges and Valiante denies any involvement in the killings.

Authorities say Jeanette Navin was upset about her son's drug use and behavior, and the couple was planning to cut their son out of their will.

Investigators say Kyle Navin told Valiante in a text message he had a plan to "solve every single problem and give us a wealthy amazing life." They also say Jeffrey Navin texted his son, "Did you hurt mom?" and "UR setting me up" in an exchange on the day he disappeared.
