Federal Grand Jury Returns Indictment Against Kyle Navin, Son of the Missing Easton Couple

A federal grand jury in Bridgeport returned an indictment today charging Kyle Navin, 27, of Bridgeport, with one count of possession of a firearm by an individual who is an unlawful user of and addicted to any controlled substance.

Federal law enforcement officials announced the indictment on Thursday. The charges had previously been filed against Navin, whose parents have been missing for almost six weeks.

Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies began investigating the disappearance of Kyle’s parents, Jeffrey and Jeanette Navin of Easton, on Aug. 7, 2015.

The indictment states that on August 13, investigators searched Navin’s Bridgeport home and seized two firearms and numerous rounds of ammunition.

On August 19, a second search was done and law enforcement located and seized numerous heroin brand-stamped glassine baggies with heroin residue, hypodermic needles, empty prescription bottles for oxycodone and prescription bottles containing other controlled substances.

Navin faces up to 10 years in prison on the firearm charge.

According to the Weston Forum, the warrants in the two searches were to be made public after the searches, however, Fairfield County State’s Attorney John Smriga filed a motion to keep them sealed until Sept. 11, 2015. Smriga later made a motion requesting the warrants be resealed until Sept. 24, 2015.

Navin, 27, has been detained since his arrest on September 8, 2015.
