BREAKING: An elderly couple have been found stabbed to death at a home in Altadena. Woman was on a live Zoom call when 911 caller witnessed her being kidnapped by an assailant. When LASD got on scene, male dead in driveway, woman dead inside. One person detained. @FOXLA 
LASD tells us that a person of interest is in custody because they were seen returning to the scene in a vehicle belonging to the victims. Deputies have that person detained. Not being called a suspect yet, and no arrest made yet. Neighbors here emotional and very upset. @FOXLA
We’re told the 911 caller heard a commotion in the background of the Zoom call, which was the male being dragged out of the house & stabbed. Then assailant came inside and tried to kidnap the woman, witnessed live on Zoom, and she was then stabbed to death. Horrible. @FOXLA
UPDATE: LASD sources tell me the victims in this double murder are brother & sister. Both in their 60’s. I’m also told that the person of interest in custody is the son of the female victim and they are not looking for anyone else. It sounds like an arrest is imminent. @FOXLA
UPDATE: LASD sources tell me that 33-year-old Robert Cotton has been arrested and charged with two counts of felony murder in this case. He is the son of the female victim and he is the person of interest who has been in custody after returning to the scene. @FOXLA
