Robert Lawrence Wilson, 47, was arrested on Aug. 30 in Lancaster, Calif., and charged with first-degree murder. He will remain in the Los Angeles central jail until extradition to Texas, a Montgomery County Sheriff's Office news release issued Wednesday said.

Wilson was a person of interest in 1990 after authorities learned that he and Bounds once lived in the same apartment complex.

Seven months pregnant, Bounds was last seen alive earlier on June 21, 1990, the day she was found dead, at her apartment on Aldine Mail Route Road in Houston.
