KEY WEST, Fla. -

A man, who committed heinous murders in the Florida Keys, was flown from Death Row back to the Keys on Friday.

Thomas Overton arrived at the Key West Airport under heavy guard. Overton was then taken to the Monroe County Detention Center, where he will be housed in the high security section of the facility.

.In 1991, Overton murdered Susan and Michael MacIvor inside their home in Tavernier Key. Overton also raped Ms. MacIvor, who was eight months pregnant. Overton worked at a nearby gas station and was a known burglar in the neighborhood.

Next Monday, Overton will go before a Monroe County judge to ask for a new trial. He claims new evidence suggests someone else killed the MacIvors.
