The husband of a woman found dead at the foot of a stairwell in his Chicago condominium building last fall has been arrested on.a warrant from Michigan.

Court documents say Adam Beckerink, 46, was arrested Friday at the same building where Caitlin Tracey’s body was found on October 27, WGN reported.

Authorities said he was arrested on domestic violence charges filed in Berrien County, Michigan, where Tracey lived before and during her marriage, but no other information was released.

According to WBBM, the warrant was issued in Michigan on October 31, four days before Tracey’s body was found. It’s unclear why he wasn’t arrested until now.

Beckerink had reported Tracey missing on October 26. Another tenant found Tracey’s severed foot in the stairwell the next day, and police found her body at the bottom of the stairs. A cause of death has not been determined.

Beckerink was held for questioning for two days, but no charges were filed.

Tracey had filed for an order of protection against Beckerink a year before her death, citing several incidents in which she accused him of abuse. She withdrew the petition after Beckerink threatened to sue her, court records show.

Twice in 2024, Beckerink was arrested in New Buffalo, Michigan, on domestic violence charges.

Beckerink and Tracey’s parents argued over her remains for two weeks after her death before a Michigan judge gave the parents custody for a funeral and burial.
