U.S. Marshals catch up with Washington state couple who was on the run after they allegedly murdered and sexually abused a child.
The duo also fled with their five children, which spawned an international manhunt that led authorities to Mexico, the U.S. Marshals Service said.& Exploited Children teamed up with the Marshals to help search for the five missing children, who have been returned to the U.S. and placed in protective custody, according to the release from the agency.
"The crimes that Araceli Medina and Edgar Casian-Garcia are charged with are heinous and we commend the unwavering dedication of law enforcement," Bischoff said. "This successful rescue is a testament to the critical importance of collaboration and community involvement in safeguarding our most vulnerable population."
U.S. Marshals in the Eastern District of Washington had developed information that placed the fugitive couple in Mexico. Medina and Casian-Garcia remain in the custody of authorities in Mexico pending extradition proceedings. They didn't immediately have a lawyer or lawyers listed for them.
