The arrested man was detained at Tewantin, near Noosa, and questioned by detectives before being remanded in custody overnight.
The missing persons squad is expected to apply for his extradition back to Victoria in Maroochydore Magistrates’ Court today.
Mr Christianos, originally from South Australia, had been listed as a missing person for years before the awful find at Oakleigh South.
