Capping a monthlong investigation, Oakland police arrested the estranged husband of a missing Oakland woman Tuesday on suspicion of murder.

Police said they have evidence to suggest that Nina Reiser, 31, who went missing Sept. 3, is dead. Her body has not been found.

"All avenues led us to Mr. Reiser being responsible for the death and disappearance of Ms. Nina Reiser," said homicide Lt. Ersie Joyner.

"We have not located her body," Jordan said. "However, we are working diligently to locate the body. Our investigation has gone from a search and rescue to a search and recovery."

Jordan added, "We feel very strongly that the D.A. will file charges against him and that we will prosecute him with or without a body."

Hans Reiser has "made himself unavailable" to speak with police about what happened on the day his wife dropped off their children at his home, said Oakland police Officer Ryan Gill, a missing persons investigator.

Guess you can say ReiserFS is a "killer filesystem" now...

Wonder what this is going to do with Reiser 4.

[DesScorp]

I don't know what it's going to do with 4, but I know I'm sickened of hearing posts elsewhere along the lines of "but will he be able to code in prison, 'cause man I want version 4".

FSCK his damn filesystem. If he killed his wife, strap him to the chair and flip the switch.

Once again, you can't see past your own selfish personal concerns. It's called 'the big picture', in case you ever get a momentary glimpse.

I know I'm sickened of hearing posts elsewhere along the lines of "but will he be able to code in prison"

Because it is sickening. Prayers to the victim and her family.

Quite frankly, I don't care if Reiser 4 never comes out. 3.6 is reliable and suits my purposes just fine.

I just brought that up given the hype and anticipation that

Of course, if he killed his wife (which I personally suspect)--I completely agree. Fry the darned animal extra crispy.

"which I personally suspect"


why? what else do we know about him? (i'm curious, i know nothing of the case)

[rzeznikj at stout]

From what I've heard thus far, he's the prime suspect--several things about the case that have already been made public stand out, especially given that I'm actually studying these things.

There apparently was some bad blood between Hans and Nina--ever since they started to break up in May 2004.

She was last seen at his house dropping the kids off. Never showed up for a meeting with her best friend.

Police have found a link to the found car and then successfully used it to obtain a warrant for Reiser's DNA.
