Another US Fugitive gets caught at a Resort - Cancun

"Fugitive on US most-wanted list is captured in Mexico":

"MEXICO CITY -- The U.S. Marshals Service announced the capture of Vincent Legrend Walters, one of the law enforcement agency's 15 most wanted fugitives, in the resort city of Cancun.

Walters, 45, was wanted on kidnapping, murder and drug charges stemming from a 1988 San Diego, Calif., case.

The agency said Walters was apprehended Friday morning, then transported to Mexico City where he will await extradition to the United States.

Walters had been working at the Cancun International Airport under the assumed name Oscar Rivera, according to a statement released by the agency.

Walters is accused in the kidnapping and murder of Christina Reyes in September 1988, U.S. Marshals said in a statement obtained by NBC News. He was also indicted by a federal grand jury in 1989 on conspiracy to manufacture, possess and distribute crystal methamphetamine, carrying firearms during a drug trafficking crime and possession of unregistered firearms and explosives............

This guy has been on the run for many years but apparently the resort style appealed to him?

Guess it beats prison while it lasted.

I had a housesitter here who was picked up by the US Marshalls a month or so after she was at my house.

Oh Carry, do tell!

She was Carol Ann Morrero when I knew her. I didn't like her at ALL but she was a friend of a friend & I needed to meet up with my niece in Las Vegas & had to have a pet sitter. She worked at Dr. Cordova's office.

Oh yeah, that was quite the story. Thanks

That's the big concern for us when contemplating hiring house/pet sitters down here. NOB you would never hire someone who you don't know to have full access to your home and property and your beloved pets. It is taking us some time to get use to the idea...............up till now we have gone back NOB seperately..........I've heard a few horror stories of people coming back to find their homes emptied out and their pets starving! There was also another guy who had a great reputation and good references - he turned out to be a petafile and was caught. He had housesat for quite a few people we know here. You just never know!

Deport all the fugitives. They've had the good life too long here.

And just how do you know the fugitives to deport them before they are caught? I would be willing to bet that in eleven years, you have unknowingly been in direct contact with a good half dozen of them.

Pure speculation since I don't do business with gringos here.

Hmmm, fugitives are not all gringos.

I'd bet that half of John's semi-monthly dinner group are fugitives of one sort or another.

"Pure speculation since I don't do business with gringos here."

Just where did I speculate that you did business with them? They could be in line with you at SuperLake or sitting at the very next table when the semi monthly dinner group or most anywhere. Hell, you could have communicated with one of them on a forum!

That's slander. Furthermore they have college educations and held respectable positions in the US, unlike some of you who gave yourself border promotions.

Communicated with one of them on a forum? Do you mean this forum?

So did Carol Ann Marrero

Carol lived on our street and she was a true pet lover.

John:

It is very hard for me to grasp just how naive you can be and how you have have lived this long living in denial. History tells us that fugitives live anywhere and everywhere. They are extremely adept at creating new lives with stories that have proven to be believable to those around them in their new environments. Name changes, college educations and respectable former positions can be part of the story.

What in the HECK is a petafile?

M.

A Petafile is someone who sleeps with dogs and other pets that are underage. You know a pet less than 16 or whatever the age of consent is with a pet. That is why he is looking for petsitting positions. I don't think that sex is involved. At least I hope not.

If anyone needs a house/petsitter my wife and I are availiable. We have good rates and we wont steal your stuff!!! We love animals as we have three of our own (plus my mother and father in law) and they are all still alive and healthy! LOL!! We can give you references and you can pay when you get back and you are satisfied with the job. Just p.m me with any questions. We are booked right now till the end of january. We may have some time open in december(wife has the calender). Im at a job right now with 4 chihuahua's, a mexican hairless, and a blind Shar-pei (who is on my lap snoring and drooling!)LOL

13 years here and I have known five fugitives, all U.S. citizens. Two were good, close friends and had really fascinating stories . One was someone in my immediate social circle and two I did business with.

It's been a while since the U.S. Marshall's came and hauled anyone away, wonder who will be next?

Hey, anyone remember "Montana"? Dumb as a rock, that one. But he lasted 5 years or so at least. You don't have to be that smart.

Ms. Thang, I don't recall anything about a Montana, do tell!
