RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The man accused of killing Sara Filiatraut has been extradited to Lyon County.

Robert Richards was arrested in Utah on July 29th. He has been awaiting extradition to the District of Nevada ever since.

Gov. Joe Lombardo signed the gubernatorial order in early October and sent it to the state of Utah.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox issued his own gubernatorial order requesting Richards’ extradition to Lyon County.

Richards was booked into Lyon County Jail late Tuesday and received a first-degree murder charge. He is being held without bail.
