A man remained in jail Thursday after federal authorities arrested him in connection with the 2001 Maryland cold case death of a former girlfriend's mother.
A U.S. marshals task force arrested Eugene Teodor Gligor, 44, in neighboring Washington on Saturday based on a warrant alleging he killed Leslie Preer.
In a statement this week, the Montgomery County Police Department said the man has been charged in its jurisdiction with first-degree murder.
It wasn't clear whether Gligor has retained legal counsel, and a spokesperson for the public defender's office in Montgomery County said it was most likely too early to determine whether it will represent him. A woman listed online as a possible relative of Gligor's didn't respond to a voicemail seeking comment.
Gligor was being held by the Washington Corrections Department on Thursday, according to its inmate information. Montgomery County police said in their statement that they requested that he remain in custody in Washington pending extradition to Maryland.
