Three suspects have been arrested for the brutal murder of a cab driver whose badly burned body was found Thursday west of Alliance Airport. Denton county Sheriff's deputies have arrested 23 year old Noah Whitehead, 22 year old William Stephens, and 32 year old Mariesha Ohlfs. According to deputies Stephens claims Whitehead struck Hooshang Vatanpour on the head with a glass bottle, then repeatedly stabbed him. Stephens reportedly claims Vatanpour was killed so Whitehead could steal his cash, credit cards and other personal property. Stephens also told deputies Ohlfs provided the gasoline that was used to burn the cab drivers' body then drove Whitehead and Stephens to her home in Argyle when they were finished. Deputies say they found personal items belonging to Vatanpour in that house. Whitehead, Stephens, and Ohlfs all face capital murder charges.
