murder in the April 2005 death of his wife, Janet Abaroa.

Janet Abaroa, 25, was stabbed to death inside her home at 2606 Ferrand Drive on April 26, 2005.

The Abaroas' 6-month-old son, Kaiden, was uninjured. There were no obvious signs of a break-in, but a laptop computer was missing from the house.

Abaroa, 30, was arrested Monday at his home in Montpelier, Idaho without incident.

He was placed in an Idaho jail without bond. He is being held for extradition to North Carolina.

In the hours before her death, Janet Abaroa, who was in the early stages of pregnancy, picked up her child at day care and went with her husband to drop her car off for repairs.

The Abaroas met with a church member at their home that evening before Raven Abaroa left the house around 8:30 p.m. in a gray Dodge Durango to play in an indoor soccer game in Morrisville.
Raven Abaroa told officers he found his wife when he returned home from the game around 11 p.m.

Abaroa's arrest was a joint operation by the Durham Police Department, the FBI Task Force, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), the Montpelier (Idaho) Police Department, the East Idaho STAR (Special Tactics and Response) Team and the Bear Lake County (Idaho) Sheriff's Department.

"This arrest is the result of hard and tenacious work by our investigators and a strong partnership with the FBI and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI). Investigators continued to follow leads and never gave up," said Durham Police Chief Jose L. Lopez Sr.
