Posted: Updated:

A Virginia man charged with the death of his estranged wife, Karen, is extradited back from Virginia.

Thomas Tait of Waynesboro was arraigned in front of a magistrate in Greenbrier County, Tuesday.

Tait's wife, Karen, was last seen alive in September of 2002.

A short time later,  a woman's body was found in the Greenbrier State Forest.

The death was quickly ruled a homicide but the body remained unidentified for 10 years.

That was until Thomas Tait's recent arrest.
