Seattle – A man sought in the killing of a couple in rural Washington state and burying their remains will be returned to Washington from Tucson, Ariz.
KING-TV reported John Blaine Reed, 53, appeared before a judge Thursday afternoon and waived extradition.
He was arrested earlier this month by Mexican authorities in Sonora, Mexico, and handed over to U.S. Marshals.
Investigators believe Reed fatally shot Monique Patenaude and her husband, Patrick Shunn, on April 11, reportedly over a property dispute.
He was charged with two counts of first-degree aggravated murder by Snohomish County prosecutors.
