BREAKING NEWS

The woman charged with being an accessory in the murder of Byrd & Melanie Billings is re-arrested for being married to two men at the same time.

The Florida State Attorney's Office charged Pamela Long Wiggins with bigamy. They say she is currently married to James Malden Jr and Hugh Wiggins.

Malden told news 5 that he married Pamela Long on May 5, 2007. Malden, who is still trying to get a divorce from Pamela, says he got suspicious about 4 months ago that she might have married another man. Malden says he went to renew his car tag and the clerk told him they had his estranged wife's name listed as Pamela Long Wiggns.

Escambia County deputies picked up Wiggins around 4:00 p.m. She was later released on a $5,000 bond.

The case will be tried in Okaloosa County where Pamela Long and Hugh Wiggins tied the knot December 31, 2008. According to the
marriage license, Patrick Gonzales Jr and his wife Tabatha served as witnesses. Gonzalez Jr is the alleged ringleader of the July 9 home invasion. It was during that home invasion that the Billings were killed.

At the time of her arrest, Long Wiggins was out on a $10,000 bond on the accessory charge. Authorities say a safe stolen from the Billings home was found in her back yard.

Next food stamp fraud! They need to get her a cell before she runs. Because next time they probably won’t be able to find her? Guilty on all counts and not after the fact…

This whole thing sounds very wicked. I’m about ready for Escambia County to pull out the bright lights and rubber hoses so they can get to the bottom of this conspiracy!

Interesting how the bond for apparently trying to help a ring of thugs get away with cold-blooded murder is only double that of the offense of marrying one dude before you wrap up a divorce with another. If my suspicions are correct, this woman should be sitting next to the rest of those guys.
