Shane Helmbrecht may face renewed homicide charges upon his return to Eau Claire.
Prosecutors in Eau Claire are expressing their intention to resume the case against Helmbrecht, who allegedly killed his neighbor in 2016.
Initially deemed unfit for trial, this decision is now under review after Helmbrecht fled from a halfway house in Sparta in September.
Helmbrecht was apprehended in Mexico on Sunday and is currently held in Chicago, awaiting extradition to face charges in Eau Claire.
