A New Jersey man accused of killing his estranged wife and evading police for two weeks has been caught following an exhaustive manhunt.
State police say 32-year-old Cedarville resident Jeremiah Monell was captured Monday. He was found in a wooded area in Folsom.
Monell is accused of killing 35-year-old Tara O'Shea at her home in Commercial Township on Dec. 18. O'Shea's family and friends say Monell slit her throat in front of their 12-year-old son.
The intensive air and ground search for Monell was centered on a wooded area in Lawrence Township where authorities had found his truck.
State police had offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to Monell's arrest.
Monell is in custody and can't be reached for comment. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could comment on the allegations.
