Hans Reiser led police and prosecutors to his wife's dead body Monday. In April, a jury convicted the computer engineer of killing his wife. Reiser maintained his innocence during the trial. Prosecutors could provide leniency in sentencing Wednesday in exchange for his last-minute cooperation.


Thirty-one-year-old Nina Reiser was last seen dropping off the couple's two children at Hans Reiser's home in Oakland, Calif. in September 2006. Police found her vehicle with groceries and Nina Reiser's pocketbook and cell phone inside. Since the phone's battery was missing, police were unable to trace her last steps through cell phone tower signals.


Items belonging to Hans Reiser were also missing. They include: his cell phone battery and the front passenger seat of the Honda CRX he had been driving. Neighbors testified that they had seen Reiser hosing down the car at night, and police found books on murder inside the car.



The couple met in Russia after connecting through a Web site advertising Russian brides. Nina Reiser had been practicing gynecology and obstetrics before she married Hans Reiser and moved to the United States.

I wanted to post this before, since its on huge discussion in linuxforums.org. Reiser is the guy who made the ReiserFS file system.

The guy apparently had this issue with his russian wife and they seperated and she started to sue him because he once pushed her and later refused to pay maintainence fees for her kids. Finally he murdered his wife.

This is what happens often in USA. In India families are much more closer and tightly bound than elsewhere.
