Authorities on Wednedsday captured a man recently released from federal prison who they say went on the run in early July after his wife turned up dead outside the couple's northwestern Minnesota home.
Officers arrested Eric J. Reinbold, 44, about 12:30 a.m. in woods near his parents' property north of Oklee after officers from various law enforcement agencies converged on the area, according to the Pennington County Sheriff's Office.
"Agents were alert to movement in front of a trail camera," the statement said, adding that agents had searched the area after Reinbold fled.
Reinbold was wanted in connection with the death of 34-year-old Lissette Reinbold on July 9. The second-degree murder charges filed Friday in Pennington County District Court say Eric Reinbold was angry at his wife, accusing her of cheating on him and rejecting his demands for sex.
One of her children found Lissette Reinbold's body the next morning beside her vehicle, the charges read. She suffered stab wounds to her neck, torso and upper extremities, the criminal complaint noted.
Eric Reinbold remains jailed before a court appearance scheduled for Friday morning. Court records do not list an attorney for him.
Lissette Reinbold's death occurred less than four months after her husband was granted an early "compassionate release" from federal prison, where he was serving time for possessing pipe bombs. His sentence initially called for him to be locked up until February 2022.
A reward of up to $10,000 had been offered for information leading to Eric Reinbold's capture.
