UPDATE: The murder suspect, thought to be in Northeast Wisconsin, was taken into custody in Kansas City, Kansas the Green Bay Police Department says.
43-year-old Kasey Gaskel was caught in a homeless shelter.
"We knew about this information in late September in which we took that information and disseminated it through out the department, but at that time it was just more of a pass through. We just knew that this individual might be coming to Green Bay through the Greyhound bus station to possibly Greenleaf, but that information was based on 2006 information we didn't even know if it was valid," said Captain Kevin Warych of the Green Bay Police Department.
It's not known if at the time Gaskell was arrested if he was trying to come back to Northeast Wisconsin.
