Overview
- Narez, 48, was arrested in Mexico on Saturday, Aug. 8, after a long-running search by U.S. and Mexican authorities.
- Court records and a grand-jury indictment allege the 3-year-old, Kassandra White, died in mid-November 1996 after injuries caused by shaking, being thrown into a wall, and impact with a door.
- She was first arrested in late 1996, had bond reduced to $25,000, failed to appear in 1997 and left the country after a warrant was issued, prompting almost three decades as a fugitive.
- The Tarrant County District Attorney's Office credited Mexico Interpol, the U.S. Marshals Mexico Foreign Field Office, the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs and DA investigators for the capture while saying it will not disclose the arrest location or operational details.
- Extradition from Mexico is expected but not immediate, the DA’s office will resume the capital murder case when Narez returns to Texas and the arrest ends a decades-long pursuit that prosecutors say kept the case active for the victim's family.
