Ryan Klug, Indiana man wanted for murdering Adaobi Obih, captured in Texas by US Marshals
A Columbus, Indiana man was taken into custody near Galvaston, Texas after an extensive manhunt in connection to the murder of Adaobi Obih.
Ryan Allen King, age 36, was apprehended Nov. 23 after tracking the man since Thursday, said Lt. Matt Myers, spokesman for the Columbus Police Department.
Obih, age 26, was found dead in her apartment, stabbed multiple times and her throat was cut.
The White River News detailed the crime scene and case details.
A broken knife handle and blade, belonging to Obih, was found in the room where her body was found. Detectives also located a blood trail from the body, which they believe led to Klug’s bedroom. They also said it appears that the assailant tried to clean up in Klug’s bathroom, including taking a shower. Police found blood-soaked clothes in Klug’s bedroom, including a pair of jeans that were identical to a pair of clean jeans that were stored in Klug’s room. Investigators also found a garage door opener in Klug’s room.
Detectives went out of the apartment and observed a trail of blood from the apartment to an open garage that apartment staff said was rented by Obih specifically for Klug’s use. Investigators also found blood on an interior door handle to the garage, as well as an apartment key they believe belonged to Obih. Klug’s grey 2008 Subaru Legacy was not in the garage.
Klug had called out sick and then took a two week vacation. Klug’s supervisor reportedly said this was strange behavior for Klug and against company policy.
His family told authorities that Klug had recently gone through a bankruptcy and was having financial problems. He was also having problems with a former girlfriend.
