On March 9, 2019, investigators in Henderson, Nevada, discovered the body of 70-year-old John Capparelli in his Anthem neighborhood home on Bonner Springs Drive. The Clark County coroner ruled the death a homicide, citing a gunshot wound to the neck. Capparelli was a retired math teacher and a former Roman Catholic priest who had been defrocked and whose name appeared on a list of clergy credibly accused of child abuse; he had also been barred from teaching in New Jersey and agreed to revoke his teaching certifications as part of settlements with accusers.

Henderson detectives identified 25-year-old Derrick Decoste as a suspect after linking him to a Craigslist ad Capparelli posted seeking young men for wrestling and submission matches. Investigators say Decoste responded to the ad, exchanged texts and calls with Capparelli between February 21 and March 6 (the day they believe the murder occurred), and owned a gun that matched a casing found at the scene. Capparelli’s wallet, phone, and keys were missing, and police found numerous homemade DVDs of nearly-nude men wrestling in his home.

Did anyone in the Henderson area know Capparelli or see him after February 21?
