More than a month after a Virginia man was found shot to death in Maine, the man wanted in the killing was arrested in California.
Maine State Police said 34-year-old William "Nate" Robinson of Austinville, Virginia, was found Dec. 3 in a trash barrel in the Schmid Land Preserve in Edgecomb. The state's medical examiner's office determined he had died from a gunshot wound.
The search of a Turner home on Dec. 12 revealed evidence tying 26-year-old Luke Krott of Edgecomb to the crime, police said Tuesday. Authorities found he had left the state.
Police said Krott was found Monday evening in a sailboat at a marina in San Diego with the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Marshals Service and the San Diego Police Department's fugitive task force.
