A man who allegedly used baseball bats and a knife to kill his parents in their home has been extradited to New Jersey to face murder charges.
Todd Warner was captured Oct. 28 at a casino in Pennsylvania, one day after police found the bodies of Frank and Joyanne Warner, both 73. Officers had gone to their Washington Township home in Warren County after getting a 911 call from the couple’s daughter, who went to the residence after she couldn’t contact her parents.
Todd Warner was soon identified as a suspect in the slayings, which occurred two months before his parents were due to retire from their salon business.
Their son was gone along with their car and a credit card.
The 50-year-old chose not to fight extradition and was returned to Warren County on Wednesday.
Warren County's prosecutor announced last month he would be filing first-degree murder charges against Warner.
