Couple Accused of Murdering Seattle Woman Ditch Ankle Monitors and Flee, Cops Say
A couple accused of stabbing a Seattle woman to death while she was visiting a friend in Texas have ditched their ankle monitors and fled.
Nina Marano, 50, and her wife, 58-year-old Lisa Dykes, are facing murder charges in connection with the October 2020 fatal stabbing of Marisela Botello-Valadez but had been released in May after posting a hefty $500,000 bond. For roughly seven months, the women appeared to be dutifully donning their GPS monitors until the duo suddenly removed them within four minutes of each other on Christmas Day, according to court documents filed this week and obtained by KDFW.
Dallas authorities said the women have dodged calls, texts, and emails from electronic monitoring officers as they hunt for the pair.
