Navy Police Officer Accused of Murder

A married Navy police officer who is accused of killing his pregnant girlfriend will stay behind bars for now. Zachary Littleton is charged with the premeditated murder of Samira Watkins. Littleton had his first court appearance Tuesday. The judge denied him bond. Watkins was 2 months pregnant at the time of her death. Police believe Littleton was the father of her unborn child. A duffel bag with her body inside was pulled from Bayou Grande in Pensacola earlier this month. Police say Littleton had searched on his computer, "what speeds up human remains decomposition," and "how to pass a polygraph," " I understand his searches took place prior to Ms. Watkins turning up missing so prior to the murder," said Pensacola Assistant Police Chief Chip Simmons. Littleton's court appointed public defender asked the judge to reconsider giving his client bond Tuesday saying Littleton has no prior record and has been in the Navy for 5 years. But, the judge said no. Littleton was arrested Monday at Naval Air Station Pensacola.
