Teenagers Charged with Setting Fire to Man Trapped Inside His Own Vehicle in Maryland

In a shocking case in Anne Arundel, Maryland, police have arrested an 18-year-old couple, Jonah Michael Poole and Kylee Alyssa Dakes, for the alleged murder of 67-year-old Edward Stephen Koza, the owner of Tropic Bay Water Gardens. Authorities discovered Koza’s body in a burning truck outside the business on May 24, with evidence indicating he had been bound and suffered blunt force trauma. A Bass Pro Shops hat left at the scene helped pinpoint the suspects, whose actions were caught on surveillance cameras. While both have been charged with first-degree murder, assault, and arson, investigators are still probing the motive behind the crime.
