St. Joseph Co. Sheriff William Redman says his department captured a man wanted for murder out of Holland, Michigan. The Associated Press is reporting that the body of a 52-year-old woman has been found in a western Michigan hotel room. The Ottawa County sheriff’s office says deputies were called to the Holland Township hotel about 1:45 a.m. Thursday after a relative of the victim expressed concern to authorities about her well-being. Authorities learned the Holland woman was last seen at the hotel. The sheriff’s office said her 31-year-old son-in-law fled the hotel in the victim’s vehicle. He later was arrested by police in the South Bend, Indiana, area and was being held as a suspect in the case.
