Edgewater Police Chief Dave Arcieri and his investigators as well as those with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office and the State Attorney's Office are to be commended today for their excellent detective work in getting a confession from accused murderer Frances R. Gibson in the slaying of New Smyrna Beach mom and wife, Jennifer Rado. Despite intense media coverage, Arcieri kept his information close to the vest Monday night, revealing exclusively to NSBNews.net in a phone call early this morning that Gibson, who has a lengthy rap sheet, "confessed
to the murder" of Rado, the mother of two daughters.
Edgewater Police Chief Dave Arcieri was photographed by NSBNews.net earlier this year in a patrol car.
Not only did Edgewater police investigators get a sworn confession from Gibson, but they had her lead them to the slain mother's skeletal remains off Maytown Road in Edgewater late in the day Monday.
This was in addition to Edgewater police being led to two bodies found by hikers in a remote area of the city, near the dirt path that is Opossum Camp Road, just west of Interstate 95. Whether the two bodies as yet unidentified were homicide victims as well has yet to be determined. But Arcieri said there is no link between the two grisly finds.
