When they were discovered last year I bet he nearly had a heart attack.
Yeah, he sure played it cool though; giving that interview to the Daily Mail soon after the bodies were found -- talking about how he was the only one who took a lie detector test and how well business was going for him and his best friend Joey.
Here's his mugshot, which was on display at today's press conference.

Charles Merritt, 57
Looks like LE considered Merritt a prime suspect right away, but he had a lot of people fooled.
I wonder when LE obtained the surveillance video that was mentioned today and whether it's footage from the McStay's neighborhood, or near the border, or near the grave sites?
Merritt was supposed to be arraigned this afternoon -- that's been pushed back to Nov. 12th.
