  "summary": "The Los Angeles Police Department has arrested two suspects in connection with the suspected murder of Christina Downer, the sister of Saturday Night Live writer Jimmy Fowlie. Delorean Bijon Brandon, 41, who was Downer's boyfriend, and 34-year-old Los Angeles resident Kaylee Nicole Markowski were arrested by the LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division. Detectives suspect the pair are responsible for Downer's murder, the disposal of her body, and the concealment of evidence.\n\nAccording to TheWrap, Downer was reported missing on December 18, 2025, after her ex-husband requested a welfare check. At the time, Brandon claimed she had moved out several months earlier, leaving behind her belongings, her vehicle, and her dog. The investigation's Robbery-Homicide Division took over the case after Downer's cellphone was found on Santa Monica Beach.\n\nConsequence reports that the arrests were announced on Friday, October 30th, nearly a year after Downer disappeared in Los Angeles.",
