Jacob Nodarse, 23, the suspect in this week's triple homicide in west suburban Darien, has reportedly confessed to the killings, according to NBC 5. The victims were Jeffrey Kramer, 50, his wife Lori Kramer, 46, and their son Michael, 20. Nodarse appeared in court today in Florida and said he would not fight extradition to Illinois. He was arrested yesterday after authorities found him sleeping in a van outside his parents home near Fort Meyers, Florida. While Nodarse has been described as a "prime suspect" in the murders, he has not yet been charged with anything other than obstruction of justice.

The Daily Herald is also reporting that police are investigating possible links Nodarse might have had with the ex-boyfriend of the Kramers' daughter, Angela. The ex and Angela had previously gone through what is described as "a bitter custody battle" but authorities said the ex-boyfriend was cooperating. His alibi that he was gambling at a riverboat casino when the shootings occurred seems to have been backed up by surveillance footage but authorities are still investigating.
