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.
