The Alabama man who is accused of beating his mother to death and who led Memphis and Mississippi authorities on a 40-minute chase will be returned home. Justin Denson, 30, waived his extradition hearing and will be taken back to Gadsden, Ala., sometime today or Wednesday. Denson was arrested on credit card fraud charges after the chase last Thursday. He is suspected in the death of his 63-year-old mother, Nina Gay Denson, whose body was discovered in her home on Jan. 18. Denson's girlfriend, Molly Stevenson, was arrested in Mississippi a few hours before he was caught.
