Police Name Person of Interest in Murder of Evansville Realtor

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEVV) — Evansville Police have publicly identified a person of interest in the ongoing homicide investigation of Susan Haynie, a 74-year-old realtor who was found dead inside her home last week.

Haynie, a longtime figure in the local real estate community, was discovered in the basement of her Gum Street residence on August 27. A friend reportedly found her and contacted authorities.

Person of Interest Identified

On Thursday, investigators confirmed that 35-year-old Jamerus Perrale Parkman is the person of interest in the case. Police say Parkman is currently in custody on unrelated charges tied to a string of burglaries reported in July.

While Parkman faces burglary charges, he has not been formally charged in connection to Haynie’s death.

Community and Police Response

The Evansville Police Department (EPD) has actively sought public assistance in the investigation. On Wednesday, officers issued a request for security camera footage from residents in Haynie’s neighborhood. Detectives believe surveillance video may help shed light on her murder and its possible connection to the burglary cases.

A Loss to the Community

According to her obituary, Haynie was well-known and respected for her decades-long career in real estate. Many in the community have expressed shock and sadness at her sudden death, describing her as a professional who left a lasting mark on the Evansville housing market and the lives of those she worked with.

Ongoing Investigation

At this time, no murder charges have been filed against Parkman. Police emphasize that the investigation remains active and ongoing, and they are continuing to gather evidence.

Authorities encourage anyone with information related to the case or with potential surveillance footage to contact Evansville Police immediately.

Parents Charged with Murder in Death of 6-Month-Old Nalani Adalee Allen

HOMESTEAD, Florida — A heartbreaking case has shaken the community after a six-month-old baby girl, Nalani Adalee Allen, died from injuries authorities say were caused by her parents.

On May 12, 2025, Nalani was rushed to the hospital in cardiac arrest. Despite doctors’ efforts, she was pronounced dead at 1:32 p.m..

What medical staff found during the examination painted a devastating picture of abuse. According to reports, Nalani suffered from:

• Multiple broken ribs

• Internal bleeding

• Severe bruising on her torso

• Lacerated organs

• Blunt force trauma

The Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s Office ruled her death a homicide.

Parents Arrested and Charged

Nalani’s parents, Arnelle Arnelia Floyd and Nathan Richard Allen, both 24, were arrested and are now facing charges of first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse.

Investigators say the couple initially told doctors Nalani “seemed lethargic” before she stopped breathing. However, their home reportedly revealed a troubling environment, with fist-sized holes in the walls, a dented refrigerator, and a documented history of domestic violence.

Questions of Prevention

Court documents show that just two days before her death, Nalani had a routine pediatric appointment. At that visit, she was noted to be underweight but showed no visible signs of injury.

Now, advocates and community members are asking how such a tragedy could happen — and whether it might have been prevented.

Remembering Nalani

What should have been the beginning of a life filled with care and love has ended in tragedy. Nalani’s story is a reminder of the devastating consequences of unchecked abuse and the urgent need for vigilance in protecting vulnerable children.

Authorities continue to investigate, while Nalani’s memory becomes a rallying cry against child abuse and neglect.
