Thursday, August 13, 2026 - A Texas mom accused of k!lling her 3-year-old daughter by throwing her against a wall has been caught in Mexico after nearly 30 years on the run, officials announced.
Maria Narez, now 48, was accused of k!lling her daughter
Kasandra White in November 1996 by shaking, beating and then throwing her in
her Fort Worth home.
The then-teen mom was indicted by a grand jury the following
year, but vanished after a judge lowered her bond to $25,000, according to
court documents reviewed by Fox 4.
A warrant was issued for her arrest in 1997 after her bond
was forfeited and she fled across the border, where she hid out for almost 30
years.
“The DA’s office never gave up on bringing Narez back to
face the charge against her and answer for the d£ath of her daughter,” the
county’s District Attorney’s office said in a statement.
Additional details about where she was arrested and what she
had been doing for the last 29 years were not immediately available.
Narez was a 19-year-old grocery store clerk in 1996 when she
allegedly tossed the child after she refused to go to bed, the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram reported.
She told investigators she was feeling depressed and
stressed when she snapped.
“It angered her. She picked the baby up by the chest under
her arms, threw her against the wall and her head struck the door edge,” Fort
Worth Police Department Sergeant Fred Pendergraf told the paper at the
time.
The toddler complained that she was hurt but went to bed.
Narez was arrested when she then took her daughter to the hospital, where the
toddler lost consciousness and eventually di£d.
Narez is due to be extradited to Tarrant County from Mexico
to face capital murd£r charges.
The DA’s office thanked Mexico Interpol, the U.S. Marshals
Mexico Foreign Field Office, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S.
Department of Justice-Office of International Affairs, DA Investigators Tiffany
Johnson and Victor Espino-Nevarez, and Assistant DA Steven Elliott for their
work in capturing Narez.
