John Feit, the former McAllen priest accused of killing Irene Garza in 1960, has waived extradition to Texas.

Feit was arrested at his home in Scottsdale, Arizona on Feb. 9 and later booked into the Maricopa County jail.

The 83-year-old man waived his right to extradition during a hearing Wednesday.

Feit has long been suspected of killing Garza, whose body was pulled from an irrigation canal in McAllen in 1960.
