MURDER SUSPECT'S BOND SET AT $1M: A bond of $1 million has been set for the Florida man accused of killing his newborn child in Marietta in 2008. Landon C. Evans, 25, of Eustis, Fla., was brought into the Washington County Jail around 5:45 p.m. Wednesday. He was arrested Jan. 14 on a charge of first-degree murder and had been in custody in Lake County, Fla., since his arrest, following a pursuit that involved helicopters, bloodhounds and a half-mile chase on foot. Police have said Evans fathered the child with an underage girl with whom he had been having a continuing sexual relationship. He allegedly assisted in the child's delivery at a Marietta motel in June 2008. Officers believe the baby girl was suffocated with a pillow and her body burned in the Wayne National Forest.
