A 54-year-old Moses Lake man is accused of killing his wife after her body was found Thursday in Lincoln County.

Charles Bergman, who is wanted on suspicion of first-degree murder, and his wife, 53-year-old Theresa Bergman, were reported missing earlier this week. A nationwide extradition arrest warrant has now been issued for Charles Bergman.

A farmer found Theresa Bergman’s body around 12:30 p.m. Thursday in tall grass along the side of Stolp Road near Kintschi Road, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.
