GRAND JUNCTION - A 39-year-old man has been arrested in the death of his wife after her body was found in a Grand Junction, Colorado, landfill. Authorities continued to search the landfill today for the couple&#39;s missing daughter. <br> <br> Police said Michael Blagg was taken into custody without incident last night at his mother&#39;s house in Warner Robins, Georgia, 120 miles southeast of Atlanta. <br> <br> He was being held on a one (m) million dollar bond for investigation of first-degree murder. Police in Colorado were notified that Blagg would fight extradition, which could take several weeks. <br> <br> His lawyer, Stephan Schweissing, said today he could not comment on the charge because he had not seen the arrest warrant. <br> <br> He said Blagg had planned to return to Grand Junction today to begin making funeral arrangements. <br> <br> Schweissing said -- quote -- ``Certainly it&#39;s a difficult situation for him and this has been a very emotional time for Mister Blagg. He&#39;s doing his best to remain positive.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Thirty-four-year-old Jennifer Blagg and the couple&#39;s six-year-old daughter Abby disappeared from the family&#39;s Grand Junction home on November 13th. Michael Blagg told authorities he returned home from work to find a pool of blood in the master bedroom and his wife and daughter gone. <br> <br>
