KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A Missouri couple charged with a double homicide could be leaving a Michigan jail soon.

The Jefferson City News Tribune reported that Ryan Coari and his wife, Jacie, waived their rights to challenge extradition Friday.

The Coaris took off last month around the time the bodies of 56-year-old Michael Wieberg and his 33-year-old daughter, Amanda Wieberg, were found in a burned home outside the central-Missouri town of Auxvasse (OH'-vawz).

The 28-year-old man and his 27-year-old wife were arrested Sept. 11 at a U-Haul store in Warren, Mich., after a suspicious employee called police.

Court records say Jacie Coari confessed to dropping her husband off near Michael Wieberg's home so he could rob it. Ryan Coari is accused of shooting the victims.

Online court records don't list an attorney for the couple.
