Mayra Gavilanez-Alectus was ultimately tracked down in Texas and taken into custody by law enforcement in Houston. She was being held in the Harris County Jail pending extradition to Ocean County, they said.
“I am extremely grateful for the support of our federal law enforcement partners,” Billhimer said. “It is extremely satisfying when law enforcement works together and we are able to get a dangerous person like Mayra Gavilanez-Alectus into custody.
