He had been charged with one felony count of murder and was out of custody on $1 million bail when he didn’t show up for a pre-trial hearing in January 2015, according to the district attorney’s office.
Officials including Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer and Newport Beach Police Chief Jon Lewis will address the arrest in a news conference at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, the district attorney’s office said.
CNN could not confirm whether Chadwick has an attorney since his capture.
Chadwick had been on the US Marshals Service’s 15 Most Wanted fugitive list — with a $100,000 reward for his arrest — since 2018.
Officers who responded to the couple’s house for a welfare check after their children were not picked up from school the day of the killing found blood and signs of a struggle inside, the district attorney’s office said.
Before he disappeared, Chadwick had been ordered to surrender his passports and live with his father in Santa Barbara, California, until his trial, the Marshal Service’s news release said.
