Todd Honaker is charged with first-degree murder in death of his wife, Renee Honaker. Investigators believe she died of an apparent drug overdose.

The other defendant in the case, Chad Renzelman, 32, of Washington State has waived extradition and will be brought to West Virginia to face charges within the next 10 days.
