Alejandro Rosales Castillo, an FBI Ten Most Wanted fugitive arrested in Mexico, has been transferred to Charlotte, North Carolina, where he is in local custody to face charges in the 2016 killing of Truc Quan “Sandy” Ly Le. FBI Director Kash Patel announced the transfer, called it part of a “historic” day that also saw another Ten Most Wanted fugitive returned to U.S. custody and credited administration resources for enabling the captures, while authorities say Le disappeared after meeting Castillo at a gas station over an alleged $1,000 debt and co‑defendants Ahmia Feaster and Felipe Ulloa have been previously charged.

The FBI says advances in forensic science and DNA analysis have identified deceased fisherman Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. as the perpetrator of the Colonial Parkway murders, linking him to the 1986 slayings of Cathleen Thomas and Rebecca Dowski, who were last seen Oct. 9, 1986 leaving a College of William & Mary computer lab. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said there would have been sufficient evidence to prosecute had he been alive, and investigators — noting Wilmer was a Lancaster County fisherman who frequented Gloucester and Middlesex marinas — say he may be tied to additional unsolved crimes (including the sexual assault of 14‑year‑old Robin Edwards) and have released images of his vehicles as the probe continues.
