Cousin Charged in Parkville Homicide

Parkville, MD — An out-of-state man is charged with murder in the death of his cousin, who was found dead in her Parkville home last week, according to the Baltimore County Police Department.

John Robert Malko, 72, of Salt Lake City, is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the July 12 death.

Malko reportedly told police that he had left the residence and when he came back, a break-in had occurred.

At the residence, authorities allege Malko made it look like the house had been ransacked.

When officials responded to a call for a cardiac arrest, they found his cousin—Nadia Evanowicz Schaible, 91—deceased at her home in the 8200 block of Evergreen Drive, police said.

Schaible's jewelry was spread across the main level and her body was in the basement, officials said.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the death homicide by multiple blunt force injuries, and Malko was charged, according to police.
