Local and federal law enforcement agencies found Stephen Grant barefoot inside the Wilderness State Park in northern Michigan. Officials airlifted him to Northern Michigan Hospital due to health concerns.
A hospital representative gave a briefing on Sunday afternoon to detail Grant's condition. He stated that Grant is being treated for hypothermia and frostbite. He also added that Grant's condition has improved from serious to stable.
According to hospital officials, Grant has been awake and alert since arriving to the hospital and they said he is being very cooperative with hospital staff.
Grant is expected to remain in the hospital at least for one more day until his condition improves, according to Northern Michigan Hospital officials.
Local agencies as well as federal agencies searched the Wilderness State Park overnight and found Grant hiding outdoors.
Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said, "He will be brought back to Macomb County to answer to charges in the murder of his wife Tara Lynn Grant."
Sheriffs found the torso of Tara Grant inside a container in the garage of the Grant home, at the time of the discovery, Grant had fled the scene and was on the run.
Officials were able to track down Grant after tracing a call he made to his sister.
Originally, officials said they believed Grant was "hiding out" in a cabin, but he was found outdoors.
The yellow Dodge truck that Stephen Grant was last seen driving was also located.
David Griem resigned as Grant's attorney citing a damaged relationship that prevents him from representing Grant.
