MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - One of two New Mexico men who authorities say traveled to Vermont to murder two people has waived extradition and will be returned to New Mexico.
Forty-one-year-old Mark Staake is facing a fugitive from justice charge. Police say Staake and his 23-year-old nephew, Tanner Ruane, were arrested in November at the U.S.-Canadian border in Highgate.
Ruane was initially released but arrested the following day in New York after authorities learned he was wanted for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
A New Mexico police affidavit says Dana Martin, a Vermont man serving a life sentence in New Mexico, sent Staake and Ruane to Vermont to kill two men.
Police say Martin, who was convicted in the 2000 slaying of a 15-year-old girl in Barre, later notified authorities about the plot.
