POLK COUNTY, Fla. – A 21-year-old Eagle Lake man has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his mother last month, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
Gibson Nash faces one count of first-degree murder (FC) for the killing of 56-year-old Margaret Chu Dufour on July 21, 2026. Her name is being released with permission from her family. He is also charged with two counts of leaving the scene of a crash involving injury (F3).
“Gibson Nash needs to remain locked away from the public forever. The way he murdered his mother was a mix of pure rage and extreme violence. After killing her, he caused two vehicle crashes on a busy road. He has no respect for others and is a clear threat to society,” Sheriff Grady Judd said…
