Burton said in a statement.
• It was not immediately clear whether Jaraczeski, 41, has an attorney or when he would be extradited to Montana.
• A sworn statement that accompanied the arrest warrant said Jaraczeski began stalking Wishman after she broke up with him after 4 1/2 years and began dating Rein. Jaraczeski wrote her a 25-page letter and told his family he was thinking about killing himself, authorities said.
• He drove by their homes of Rein and Wishman on several occasions in different vehicles and followed Wishman at least once, the statement said.
• He also broke into Wishman's home and read in her diary that she had "found the man of her dreams" and wanted to spend the rest of her life with Rein, according to the statement by Assistant Attorney General Brant Light.
