Torrance police say Michael Clark was taken into custody Wednesday on suspicion of killing Carol Jeanne Lubahn, who was 28 when she went missing on April 8, 1981.
She was never found.
He's scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday.
The couple were sweethearts at North High School in Torrance before getting married and having two children.
Torrance detective Jim Wallace tells the Daily Breeze that inconsistencies in Clark's statements over the years were, in part, what prompted his arrest but didn't provide details.
In an earlier interview with the newspaper, Clark said he and his wife had argued the night before her disappearance and when he woke up she was gone.
