The U.S. Marshals Service has intensified efforts to locate a 77-year-old man from New York accused of murdering his wife. This federal manhunt is in pursuit of Anderson Tate, who is now the prime suspect in the death of his wife, Patricia Tate.
Authorities in Buffalo, bolstered by the U.S. Marshals, have been actively searching for Anderson since the tragic event unfolded. Late last year, the lifeless body of 70-year-old Patricia Tate was found in their home, turning the case into a high-priority investigation. According to reports from WIVB, the grim discovery was made following a 911 call to the 200 block of Cedar Street on the night of December 30.
Emergency services responded to the call just before midnight, where they found Patricia unresponsive. Upon arrival, officers confirmed her death at the scene, marking the beginning of a homicide inquiry. The circumstances surrounding her death raised immediate suspicions, leading authorities to focus their investigation squarely on Anderson Tate.
Crime Stoppers WNY has provided a physical description of Anderson Tate to aid in his capture. He is described as a Black male, standing at 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and weighing around 175 pounds. Distinguishing features include his mostly bald head with a small amount of white hair on the sides.
