(10-10) 16:47 PDT OAKLAND -- The estranged husband of an Oakland woman who has been missing for more than a month was arrested today on suspicion of murder.
Hans Reiser, 42, was taken into custody at 11 a.m., hours after Oakland police and FBI technicians searched his home in the Oakland hills. His estranged wife, Nina Reiser, 31, has been missing since Sept. 3, when she dropped off the couple's son and daughter at his home on the 6900 block of Exeter Drive.
Nina Reiser's minivan, with groceries from Berkeley Bowl inside, was found several miles away Sept. 9 in Oakland's Thornhill neighborhood.
"I guess that the police are not expecting to find Nina alive. I'm very sad about that, terribly sad," Shelley Gordon, Nina Reiser's divorce attorney, said today. "I just pray for the children."
Anthony Zografos, Reiser's boyfriend, said, "I have no thoughts. Until they find Nina, I don't know what to think."
Authorities did not immediately say today why they believe Reiser is dead.
Monday's search was the second at Hans Reiser's six-room house, located on a winding street off Skyline Boulevard. In mid-September, police spent several days searching the home where his mother, Beverly Palmer, also lives. They brought in a cadaver dog during that search.
On Monday night, police with the missing persons unit returned with a homicide investigator and the FBI's evidence response team. Police removed items from the home, including what appeared to be a door and a rolled-up carpet.
Police used a search warrant Sept. 28 to obtain a DNA sample from Hans Reiser, who has declined to talk to police.
