A man has been arrested in California for a killing that happened in Belizean waters 38 years ago. Two British students, Peta Frampton, and her boyfriend Christopher Farmer came to Belize on vacation in June of 1978. They hired American Silas Duane Boston to take them to Mexico on his yacht, the "Justin B." But, Boston ended up killing them in July - and dumping their bodies in the sea. Boston was arrested in Northern California last week after his two sons - who were just boys then, told police that they had witnessed it.
