PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - Authorities in Pensacola have charged a real estate agent in connection with a deadly break-in at a sprawling Florida Panhandle home that left a couple dead.

Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan says Pamela Wiggins - who was initially identified as Pamela Long - has been charged with accessory after the fact to felony murder. Morgan would not give any details on why she was charged.

Morgan says was arrested after being questioned with her lawyer for several hours.

Melanie and Byrd Billings, known for adopting children with special needs, were shot to death a week ago. An extensive surveillance system captured footage of masked men - some dressed as ninjas - slipping into front and back doors at the home.
