"30 Years On the Run: Accused Husband Faces Trial for Wife's 1991 Murder"

After more than 30 years on the run, Jose Lazaro Cruz, accused of killing his estranged wife in 1991, has been extradited from El Salvador to the U.S. to face trial. Cruz, who had remarried and started a new family in El Salvador, was detained in Costa Rica while attempting to visit family. Fairfax County Police, with the help of U.S. marshals and the Department of Justice, were able to secure his extradition. The case, which had been unsolved for decades, highlights the absence of a statute of limitations for murder and the commitment of law enforcement to bring closure to the victim's family.
