A California man was arrested in Greece Friday afternoon, days after the bodies of a woman and her infant daughter were discovered in a central Rome park.
Rexal Ford, 46, is the main suspect in the killings of the woman and her baby, whose bodies were found in Villa Pamphili park on June 7.
The woman’s body was found wrapped in a black plastic bag, the Italian News agency reported. She appeared to have been murdered days before the infant.
An image depicting Ford holding a baby was caught on June 5. The man allegedly claimed the girl was his daughter during a security check.
Ford fled to Skiathos, Greece, on Wednesday. Italian authorities filed a request for his arrest with Greek officials.
