Guilty verdict in missing Maui pregnant woman’s death
HONOLULU — A jury on Wednesday found a Hawaii man guilty of murder in the death of his ex-girlfriend who disappeared while five months pregnant with his child.
Steven Capobianco had been on trial since June, charged with killing Carly “Charli” Scott. Her mother and sisters last saw her on the evening of Feb. 9. 2014.
The jury also found him guilty of arson. Capobianco was accused of torching Scott’s sport utility vehicle in an attempt to cover up the killing.
Maui County Prosecuting Attorney John Kim declined to comment until jurors are done with the second phase of deliberations.
