A Navy reservist accused of murdering his wife has been arrested following a two-month international manhunt, the FBI announced Wednesday.

David Varela was taken into custody overseas after authorities discovered his wife's body in a freezer in Norfolk, Virginia. The FBI coordinated the arrest after an extensive search that spanned multiple countries.

Varela, who serves as a Navy reservist, is charged with murder in connection with his wife's death. The victim's body was found in the couple's Norfolk residence, though authorities have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding her death.

The case prompted an international manhunt that lasted approximately two months before Varela's arrest. Law enforcement agencies worked across borders to locate and apprehend the suspect.

Authorities have not disclosed the specific country where Varela was arrested or provided details about his extradition to the United States. The investigation remains ongoing as the case moves through the legal system.
