Their remains were found last Thursday outside a vacant house in neighboring Weston.</p><p>Their 27-year-old son, Kyle Navin, already was in federal custody on a weapons charge, stemming from a search of his Bridgeport home during the investigation into his parents&#8217; disappearance.</p><p>Trooper Kelly Grant, a state police spokeswoman, said Navin was brought to a state police barracks in Bridgeport on Tuesday and formally charged with murder. He was expected to appear in court later Tuesday or Wednesday.</p><p>A message seeking comment was left with Navin&#8217;s attorney, Eugene Riccio.</p><p>Navin&#8217;s girlfriend, 31-year old Jennifer Valiante of Westport, was in court Monday. She is charged with conspiring to kill Navin&#8217;s parents and hindering prosecution.</p><p>Court documents in that case indicate that Navin&#8217;s mother had told a friend that she and her husband planned to sell their trash-hauling business and cut their son out of their will.</p><p>Jaenette Navin was upset about her son&#8217;s behavior and drug use, and his failure to pay the mortgage and taxes on the home they bought him, according to the arrest warrant for Valiante.</p><p>During the September search of Kyle Navin&#8217;s home, Jeffrey Navin&#8217;s blood was found near where police discovered an 11-by-7 piece of carpet missing from the basement floor, according to court documents.</p><p>A tiny amount of Jeanette Navin&#8217;s blood was found in her son&#8217;s truck near a bullet hole in the passenger-side seat belt, according to the affidavit.</p><p>The month before his parents disappeared, Kyle Navin texted Valiante saying he had the &#8220;perfect plan&#8221; to get &#8220;$ for life,&#8221; according to the warrant. Navin wrote that the plan would &#8220;solve every single problem and give us a wealthy amazing life.&#8221;</p><p>Navin and Valiante talked about what they would do with the money, police said. Valiante texted, &#8220;That&#8217;ll allow us to stay in our house and pay for a full top-line remodel and a new garage,&#8221; according to the warrant.</p><p>Valiante&#8217;s attorney, Elliot Warren, said the texts have been &#8220;taken out of context,&#8221; and Valiante would deny talking with or texting to Kyle Navin about killing his parents and taking their money.</p><style>
