In 2003, he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the teen's death.Last week, Faba Jr. was charged in the slaying of his former girlfriend, 25-year-old Alicia Eakins.

According to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, interviews with a critical witness implicated the convicted killer in his father’s death.Ralph Faba Sr. died in October 1999. Deputies found him hanging in the woods. At the time, the death was ruled a suicide. The younger Faba told deputies at that time that he arrived at his home, in the 700 block of Stokes Landing Road at 2:20 p.m. Deputies said Faba Jr. told them that he noticed a gate leading to the back of the property was open and he proceeded to the rear of the property and observed his father hanging from a tree. He stated that he cut the rope, began CPR and called 911.
Based on the evidence and information gathered at the time of Faba Sr.'s death, the Medical Examiner ruled the death a suicide.However, the father’s case was reopened in conjunction with the Eakins' disappearance. With new information, investigators recently classified Faba Sr.'s death as a homicide.
Faba Jr. was interviewed in reference to his father’s death and as a result of the information gained during the interview, he was charged with murder in his father's slaying."This man was, in our opinion, a serial killer who was just getting started in his career," said prosecutor John Tanner. "He will never see the light of day outside of prison again."Faba Jr. is expected to have a first appearance hearing Wednesday morning.
