Former San Diego resident Anthony Simoneau has been charged with the 2007 murder of his Japanese wife Fumiko Ogawa, the San Diego County District Attorney's Office announced Friday.
Ogawa's body was found in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park near the Bow Willow Campground on Jan. 20, 2007, but was not identified until a DNA match in 2011. She was from Shimane Prefecture.
Honolulu police arrested Simoneau, 46, around 4 p.m. Thursday on an extradition warrant issued by San Diego authorities, said Honolulu Police Department spokeswoman Michelle Yu. His extradition hearing is set for Monday morning in Honolulu.
