(DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo.) — A man wanted in connection to a 2024 murder in Pennsylvania was arrested during a traffic stop on I-25 in Colorado on Tuesday, July 14.
According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), 46-year-old Anthony Kistle, who had been living in Peyton, was arrested around 11 a.m. on Tuesday during a traffic stop on northbound I-25 near Castle Pines in Douglas County. The CBI said the Colorado State Patrol and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office assisted in making the arrest.
According to the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), on May 22, 2024, Anthony Kistle’s wife, Karen Kistle, was found dead in their shared home in Pike County, PA, of a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound. However, after investigators gathered information from witness interviews, forensics, and evidence gathered at the scene, they determined there was enough evidence to suggest Karen Kistle’s gunshot wound was not self-inflicted.
The case was labeled a homicide, and Anthony Kistle was charged with criminal homicide, theft by unlawful taking of a firearm, and theft by unlawful taking of a motor vehicle.
