On Saturday, Virginia troopers announced that North Carolina authorities had apprehended Knisley following a pursuit with police in Raleigh.
They say he's being held on a first-degree murder charge from Cumberland County.
Additional charges are pending.
Virginia investigators have been searching for missing Amy Fabian.

They allege Knisley is believed to have left Fabian's residence driving a stolen pickup.
It wasn't immediately clear if Knisley has a lawyer.
