Feds make second arrest in Stroudsburg murder

STROUDSBURG – A second suspect is in custody in connection with the January murder of a man at a Stroudsburg hotel.  U.S. Marshals on Long Island arrested Myles White, 21, in Moriches, New York, for his alleged role in the beating death of Blake Natal, 22, of Tobyhanna.

Natal’s body was found outside the Quality Inn early the morning of  January 15.

White, arrested on a warrant issued in Monroe County, is currently in the custody of Suffolk County NY law enforcement.

Charges pending against White include one count of criminal homicide, five counts of robbery and three counts of criminal conspiracy.

Last week, Ralph Maldonado, 33, of Scranton, was arrested and is being held without b ail in the Monroe County Jail.

Maldonado’s mother, Sonia, 50, and his girlfriend, Venus Linan, 28, both of Scranton, are in jail on related charges.  They are accused of using Natal’s credit cards at stores in the Scranton area, just hours after Natal was killed.
