The Escambia County Sheriff says Pamela Long Wiggins has been arrested and charged with accessory after the fact for felony murder.
She is a real estate agent in the Escambia County Florida area.
Earlier on Wednesday, investigators issued a bolo, be on the lookout, for her because they had questions.
She was located at a marina in Orange Beach.
She and her attorney drove to the Escambia County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff says Wiggins had a business connection with the man they believe was the ringleader of the crime, Leonard Patrick Gonzalez Junior.
Authorities say she was his landlord and a family friend.
Byrd and Melanie Billings were shot and killed last Thursday night in their Beulah, Florida home.
Authorities say seven men drove to their property. Five of them dressed in black clothes and invaded the home. The couple was shot and killed with nine of their children inside the home. Investigators say a motive was robbery, but there could be more motives.
The sheriff says the case is complex.
Another news conference will be held Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m. News 5 will be there.Check back here for updates.

aeh5620 and another poster on another similar forum here just signed up today.

As I said earlier, lay the facts out, and let the authorites know and do there job.

This is one case I would not even hint at having first hand knowledge.  They are going to end up arresting everyone in Beulah before this thing is over.

Let us not forget the wise aeh5620 who claims to “know” things about this case. CMB1 said it best, maybe LE needs to look at aeh5620.  Of course NOW he’s not talking because he’s just someone trying to get attention with some “theory” plot to divert the attention from what the LE are investigating.  Attention grabbing punk with a laptop and a wireless card sitting at McDonald’s eating his 4th cheeseburger watching REAL people live their lives while he sits and generates one for himself on-line.

I was flipping through the channels and I heard something about Pensacola…so I was like “WTH?” And I listened to her yell at and interrupt people for a little while, then changed it to Star Trek. smile

Tex you make a good point.  Almost all of the high profile cases covered by NG, Greta and others never have satisfactory conclusions.  They turn into circuses and just never end.

I can’t watch Nancy Grace.  Puts my TV in too much danger.  gulp

Actually, she’s probably pretty smart…nutjob yes…she scares the heck out of me…but every case she SCREAMS about seems tainted in some way after.  I pray she doesn’t do it to this one.

I was the one that said Nancy Grace said something about the DEA (which WKRG has confirmed as true)

I think the lady is a nutjob, but apparently she did have correct information.

I swear I saw someone post something about Nancy Grace (OMG what a HACK!).  Do people REALLY think she (OR aeh5620) are credible?  Let the LE do their job.  Don’t Tarnish the reputations of these nice people.  And PLEASE INVITE ME to be on the jury!  Florida, like Texas, still has death by injection right?  To aeh5620:  Don’t start playing like YOU have personal knowledge of this…you will find out how GOOD your local LE really is!

Escambia County Sheriff maybe you need to look into aeh5620 he says he knows what happened? This is so awful. But ESC sheriffs you have done a good job!
