No sign of missing Connecticut couple found in ash landfill

Connecticut State Police have searched the home of Kyle Navin, the grown son of missing couple Jeffrey and Jeanette Navin, authorities said.

State police spokesman Trooper First Class Kelly Grant told NBC Connecticut that detectives searched the Putnam Ash Residue Landfill, which is used to dump ash from all the state’s waste-to-energy plants, but would provide any further details.

The state police Western District Major Crime Squad took over the investigation on Wednesday when police began searching the home of the couple’s 27-year-old son, Kyle Navin.

But Grant declined to say Friday whether police consider Kyle Navin a suspect in his parents’ disappearance or a missing person.

Kyle is now considered missing as well. The area was searched, but nothing was found, though sources tell the Hartford Courant that evidence was found in their truck. He also did not return an email seeking comment. Jeffrey Navin is president of J&J Refuse, a sanitation company in Westport, and Jeanette works as a school library aide in Weston. Verizon told police those phones have been turned off.

Kyle Navin said he had a broken back and didn’t feel well enough to go, according to the warrants. On August. 7, their family reported them missing. They had just lost a court appeal over $2.2 million they owed in debt, according to court records.

Asked who was home when the younger Navin’s home was searched on Wednesday, Grant replied, “I have no idea”.
