59-Year-Old Clifton Man Accused of Killing Wife Over Two Years Ago Arrested

Paterson New Jersey

After more than two years later, Stephen Dews - wanted for the death of his wife - was taken into custody.

The 59-year-old Clifton resident was arrested Thursday in Little Falls after authorities searched several locations in Passaic County.

On March 11, 2013, a warrant was issued charging Dews with the murder of Gail Dews after allegedly pushing her off a 100-foot drop in Shohola Township in Pennsylvania.

Dews, who was considered a fugitive, is expected to be extradited to New Jersey.
