A Texas mother accused of murdering her three‑year‑old daughter nearly 30 years ago has been arrested in Mexico, ending a fugitive hunt that began in the late 1990s. Law enforcement authorities confirmed on Monday, 10 August, that 48‑year‑old Maria Narez was apprehended on Saturday, 8 August, bringing an end to her status as a fugitive that had persisted since late 1997.
Narez had been sought by authorities in Tarrant County, Texas, to face a capital murder charge in connection with the 1996 death of her young daughter, Kassandra White.
