DALLAS (WBAP & KLIF News) — The woman accused of organizing the murder of a Dallas dentist last September has been extradited from Mexico and is now in a Dallas jail.
Brenda Delgado allegedly hired a hit-man to kill Kendra Hatcher in the parking garage of her uptown apartment and had her friend drive the getaway car. Hatcher was dating Delgado’s ex-boyfriend at the time of her death.
“That certainly is not a fact in my favor that there’s a connection between her and Dr. Hatcher,” George Milner, Delgado’s attorney, told our media partner WFAA-TV. “But that doesn’t mean my client conspired with anyone to kill her.”
Delgado was on the run for 13 months and was arrested in Mexico in April, where she is a citizen. Police say she fled to Mexico to avoid going to prison, but Milner says she only went home because she realized she was facing a potential death sentence in a country that wasn’t her home.
While in Mexico, Delgado was put on the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted List.
