Costa Rican authorities are searching for a woman who is suspected of homicide after an American citizen was found dead in late September.
The Judicial Investigation Agency in Costa Rica, the country’s equivalent of the FBI, said the agency is seeking the public’s help to identify a woman suspected of homicide after an American citizen, identified as “Fleming” was found dead on Sept. 27 at a condominium near the beach.
The 74-year-old American citizen entered a condo in Playas del Coco, a seaside town in a popular tourist area on Costa Rica’s northern Pacific coast, at 4:50 p.m. on Sept. 27, according to Costa Rican authorities. The woman was allegedly seen leaving the condo without him.
