A letter from the United States Marshals Service
I received this email from the U.S. Marshals Service yesterday -
Dear Shane:
Like you, I am Army (29 years; armored cavalry; started as a private and retired with the rank of colonel); and a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin.
In April, I received an information copy of your letter to Senator Cornyn describing the tragic loss of your father and the subsequent flight of Leon Andrade. I also received a copy of the FBI’s letter to Senator Cornyn informing him that the United States Marshals Service was pursuing Andrade. Your poignant email to the Senator touched us deeply and strengthened our resolve to locate and apprehend this violent felon.
It is my hope that you have already been informed of Andrade’s apprehension. He was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Elkins, West Virginia. Investigators with the Houston-based U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Violent Offenders & Fugitive Task Force developed leads in West Virginia and sent that information to U.S. Marshals in Elkins, WV who arrested him at 12:00 pm yesterday. Andrade is being held in Tygart Regional Jail pending extradition proceedings.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Jay McNulty
Chief, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs
