## Summary

A Texas woman accused of killing her three-year-old daughter has been captured in Mexico after nearly 30 years as a fugitive. Her arrest brings a long-running capital murder case back before the courts and ends a search that began after she allegedly fled before trial.

Maria Narez was charged in 1997 in Tarrant County, Texas, over the death of her daughter, who was aged three. Authorities said she disappeared before she could face trial and was located in Mexico almost three decades later; the article does not state the outcome of the case or any plea.
