Walter Larson has been arrested in connection with the 2008 homicide of Susan Casey of Glendive.

Casey was reported missing in April 2008; her body was recovered in May 2008 from the Yellowstone River near Fallon.

A press release from the Montana Attorney General's office says that Larson was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona, at 6:10 a.m. by a Montana Division of Criminal Investigation agent and a Glendive Police Department officer, with the assistance of the Phoenix Police Department.

Larson, Casey's ex-husband, is currently jailed in Phoenix pending extradition to Montana on charges of deliberate homicide and tampering with evidence.

Larson is being held on $500,000 bail.

The investigation into Casey's homicide was a joint effort involving the Dawson County Sheriff's Office, the Glendive Police Department and both the Division of Criminal Investigation and the Prosecution Services Bureau within the Montana Department of Justice.
