Only woman on FBI 10 most-wanted list arrested in Mexico

After months on the run, a woman who
allegedly plotted the death of a romantic rival in
Texas has been captured in Mexico.
Brenda Delgado orchestrated the murder-for-hire of a
Dallas dentist who was dating her former boyfriend,
authorities said.
After her accomplices killed the other woman on
September 2, Delgado fled to Mexico, according to
authorities.
Mexican authorities arrested her Friday, two days
after the FBI added her to its list of 10 Most Wanted
Fugitives. She was taken into custody without
incident in the city of Torreón.
Ninth woman
Delgado was the ninth woman placed on the FBI's 10
Most Wanted Fugitives List since it was created in
1950.
The 33-year-old was indicted on capital murder
charges after the accused accomplices waited for
dentist Kendra Hatcher at a parking garage in Dallas,
then shot her.
"Although she didn't pull the trigger herself, she is
still responsible for the murder," said Thomas Class
Sr. of the FBI's Dallas division.
Jilted lover
For months, the FBI said, Delgado allegedly plotted
to kill Hatcher.
"She was just waiting for the right opportunity, and
the right people to carry it out," the FBI said.
Delgado finally lured two accomplices with promises
of money and a steady supply of drugs from her
cartel sources, authorities said.
The accomplices allegedly killed Hatcher while she
was gathering items from her car in her apartment
complex's parking garage.
'She was jealous'
Days before the killing, Delgado discovered her ex-
boyfriend and Hatcher were planning to vacation in
Mexico, according to authorities.
Police arrested both co-conspirators, but Delgado
allegedly fled the country after investigators
interviewed her about the killing.
A federal fugitive warrant was issued in October.
"The only thing that I want is Delgado back and her
to serve justice," Bonnie Hatcher, the victim's mother,
told the FBI. "That is the only thing that I think
about."
No death sentence
The FBI had offered up to $100,000 for information
leading to her arrest.
Mexico is opposed to the death sentence, and Dallas
authorities had pledged to seek life in prison instead.
"We're trying to get her extradited back here," Dallas
County District Attorney Susan Hawk told CNN
affiliate KTVT .
"In order for us to do that, one of the conditions was
the death penalty had to be off the table. She's still
charged with capital murder, which carries a life
sentence."
