Former NFL player Eric Naposki and his ex-girlfriend Nanette Packard McNeal have been charged with the 1994 murder of William Francis McLaughlin. In a scene reminiscent of the 1940s film Double Indemnity, authorities believe Packard McNeal convinced Naposki to kill  her current beau McLaughlin so she could collect a $1 million insurance policy and inherit $150,000.

According to authorities, Naposki shot Bill McLaughlin six times before heading off to his job as a nightclub bouncer. McLaughlin had met Packard McNeal through an enticing personal ad she placed in a local newspaper.

“I know how to take care of my man if he knows how to take care of me." 


This isn't Packard McNeal's first brush with the law as she has gone to jail for check fraud. McLaughlin's murder had been considered a cold case, but was brought back to life after new evidence implicated Packard McNeal and Naposki.

Eric Naposki played linebacker in the NFL for the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts.

Cold blooded murder and of course, he thought they had gotten away with it. I am so happy they caught them. Now it would be fitting if some shot him in the head six times before heading off to work. He should be executed. But since he was an NFL player, he will get off fairly easy.

I was there at that time and they are the only ones that could have and had the motive and the opportunity. See the whole case and you will see that they did it.

Doesn't suprizse me a bit. Did you also know that when Nanette was married to John Packard She was having an affaire with her current husband. But of course she had a baby with Packard so she could milk him dry. Well I guess she will be having sex with prision gaurds now to get what she wants. She already has experience working that system.
