After obtaining background information on Aaron Dobbins he was read his Miranda

In 2010 Detective Rivera did not obtain barefoot prints from John Julio Navarro.
John Julio Navarro's bare footprints were needed to compare to the evidence collected
off the 2010 murder scene and therefore this detective authored a Search Warrant to obtain the
bare foot prints.
The Search Warrant was reviewed by ASA Rivera and then signed by the Honorable Judge
On 06/03/2022 John Navarro was located at his house at 1408 NW 5 Avenue in Fort
Lauderdale by VIPER Detective Erick Zamora. (BSO Case Number 90-2206-001091) Navarro
was detained for the execution of the Search Warrant. After Crime Scene Detective Paul Porter
obtained a set of John Navarro's barefoot prints he was read his Miranda rights and reinterviewed
about the listed case.
John Navarro stated that he rememberedthe 2010 interviewwith Detective Rivera and was
shown pictures of the victim REDACTED REDACTED and the victim's house and vehicle by this
detective. John Navarro stated that his memory ofthe events was not as clear as it was in 2010 but
that he told Detective Rivera the truth in 2010 and about events involving the victim.
Several topics that were discussed with John Navarro were inconsistentwith facts provided
to this detective earlier by Aaron Dobbins. John Navarro advised that he had gotten a recent phone
call from Aaron Dobbins, (after this detective had interviewed Aaron Dobbins) but before that he
had only received one text from Dobbins in six years. This conflicted with Aaron Dobbins
statement that he routinely texted and stayed in contact with John Navarro.
John Navarro stated that Aaron Dobbins was extremely jealous and that he and Dobbins
did not participate in group sex with other people due to Dobbins' jealousness. John Navarro also
stated that Aaron Dobbins would go on drug benders for days and during those times he would
seek out sexual encounters with other men. John Navarro denied he was involved in "bondage,
torture sex", or other deviant acts as Dobbins stated that he was and denied he had anything
unusual sexual with the victim in 2010. John Navarro stated that Aaron Dobbins was not involved
in any type of bondage during sex and that Aaron Dobbins stole many items and cash from him in
their relationship.

John Navarro stated that his contact with the victim REDACTED REDACTED was only a few days
or maybe a week in total.
John Navarro stated in the recent phone call from Aaron Dobbins that Dobbins seemed to
question whether or not he could have been involved in the listed murder and not remember it but
that Dobbins never denied being involved in the murder. Aaron Dobbins told John Navarro that
the victim REDACTED had his head blown off and was restrained when killed, It should be
noted that when this detective spoke to Aaron Dobbins this detective mentioned that REDACTED
REDACTED had been shot and executed but did not mention where on the body REDACTED was
shot.
When this detective told John Navarro that Aaron Dobbins' DNA had been found under
the victim's fingernails John Navarro began to cry and had obviously not been advised of that fact
when he spoke to Dobbins. John Navarro seemed convinced based on the DNA that Aaron Dobbins
John Navarro stated that after contacting this detective several times and leaving phone
messages Aaron Dobbins changed his cellphone number.
On 06/03/2022 this detective was informed by Fingerprint Examiner Jason Jardine that the
bare footprints taken in Pasco County of Aaron Dobbins were inconclusive to be compared to the
latent lifts from the crime scene lifts and better bare footprints of Aaron Dobbins were needed.
Since the testing of DNA has improved since 2010 this detective had Serologist Aida Ortiz
Nevarez retest the DNA taken from the crime scene in 2010. From this new testing Aaron Dobbins
DNA was matched to the DNA collected from both fingernails of the victims and Aaron Dobbins
DNA was matched to the DNA taken from the ligature used to restrain the victim.

As a result, the undersigned Affiant has probable cause to believe that Aaron Michael
Dobbins W/M 09/09/1970 or 09/07/1973 committed First Degree Murder with a Firearm F.S.
782.04(1)(a), 777.011, & 775.087
