Mexico detains woman wanted in slaying of Texas dentist
Delgado told one of the accomplices that she was connected with a cartel and could provide him with a steady source of drugs if he carried out the killing, according to an FBI statement.
The Mexican government said that after it received a capture and extradition request from U.S. authorities, its Agency of Criminal Investigation deployed teams to look for Delgado in places where she had family or relatives that could have helped her: in the states of San Luis Potosi, Nuevo Leon and Mexico, as well as in Mexico City.
The Attorney General's Office said she was finally tracked down with unspecified assistance from U.S. authorities in Torreon, which is about 190 miles (300 kilometers) west of Nuevo Leon state.
Capital punishment has been abolished in Mexico, and the country seeks assurances that suspects will not face the death penalty in the U.S. before agreeing to send them there.
