(MSC News)--A person of interest in a St. Joseph homicide investigation has waived extradition.
40-year-old Michael Courter is wanted for questioning in the death of 81-year-old Clyda Spurgeon.
Her body was found last Friday inside her home at 108 East Highland Avenue with visible signs of trauma.
Courter was taken into custody over the weekend following a traffic stop in northern Michigan. Police says he was driving a SUV belonging to the victim.
The St. Joseph News Press reports Courter waived his right to an extradition hearing Wednesday.
The Buchanan County Sheriff's Department will arrange the transfer back to St. Joseph.
The investigation into Spurgeon’s death continues.
