Ex-NFL player arrested in Greenwich
STAMFORD -- A 42-year-old former NFL linebacker arrested in Greenwich Wednesday in connection with a nearly 15-year-old California murder case waived his right to fight extradition proceedings.
Eric Naposki, of 106 Weaver St., was arrested early Wednesday morning during a "high-risk" motor vehicle stop outside his home, police said. He was charged with being a fugitive from justice as the result of a warrant in California that is seeking Naposki on charges of murder, murder for financial gain and the use of a firearm to commit murder.
Naposki, who played in the late 1980s for the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts, is accused of fatally shooting Bill McLaughlin, a successful medical technology businessman who was shot six times while standing in his home on Dec. 15, 1994.
Prosecutors allege that Naposki was persuaded by his ex-girlfriend, Nanette Ann Packard McNeal, 43, of Ladera Ranch, Calif., to kill McLaughlin for financial gain. McLaughlin had a $1 million life insurance policy and had provisions in it that said McNeal would receive $150,000 in the event of his death and would gain the right to live free in his beach house. McNeal was also arrested Wednesday in California and charged with murder and is scheduled to be arraigned in that state Friday........
