Son Allegedly Murders Mother Who Freed Him From Jail

Gibson Nash, 21, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his mother, Margaret Chu Dufour, 56, a nurse found deceased in her Polk County, Florida home. Dufour died from blunt force injury and strangulation. The circumstances unfolded on July 21, when Nash allegedly drove his mother's vehicle, causing multiple traffic crashes that injured three people. He was found unconscious and covered in blood in the SUV. Deputies went to Dufour's home due to suspicious circumstances and discovered her body. Nash had a history of violent threats towards his mother, including incidents in April where he allegedly threatened her with a knife. Dufour had moved to Florida to seek mental health treatment for Nash, who reportedly suffers from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Blood found on Nash's clothing was identified as his mother's, and investigators noted severe bruising on his hands and feet. He also faces charges for leaving the scene of a crash involving injury and is held without bond.
