Man Wanted in Arizona Strangulation Case Arrested at LEGOLAND

The capture ends a months-long multistate search credited to interagency investigators who followed a community tip.

Overview

  • Jason Marchesano was arrested Monday at LEGOLAND in Carlsbad and taken into custody by Yavapai County investigators.
  • Authorities say the arrest stems from an Oct. 28, 2025 incident in Paulden, Arizona in which a woman escaped after being restrained with bedsheets and allegedly strangled inside an RV.
  • Investigators executed a search warrant at the Paulden scene, recovered physical evidence, and reported bruising on the victim that they say is consistent with her account.
  • Local reporting says Marchesano faces charges including attempted second-degree homicide, kidnapping, and aggravated assault, though officials have not clarified whether every charge ties directly to the October attack.
  • Some procedural details remain unresolved: reports show no immediate match in local inmate databases and authorities have not released full custody timing or charging records, leaving prosecution and record updates as the next steps.
