A Georgia man accused of killing his wife and dismembering her remains was arrested on Friday after the woman’s remains were found at a hunting club, authorities said.
According to a news release from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Nicholas James Kassotis, 40, of Savannah, was arrested in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
He was charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, tampering with evidence and removal of body parts from the scene of death or dismemberment, the GBI said.
Officials were able to determine the woman’s body had been left in different locations on the hunting club property, spanning two counties – Liberty and McIntosh – some time after November 18. Her body was found on December 2.
Agents say they were able to interview Mindi Kassotis’ family members and take samples of their DNA to confirm her identity.
At the time of her death, Mindi Kassotis was living in Savannah with her husband, 40-year-old Nicholas James Kassotis, who also went by the name Nicholas Killian James Stark.
Kassotis is currently being held in the Lancaster County Prison and is waiting to be extradited to Georgia.
