Bravo to the US Marshals for their cleverness and dedication!

[@douglasb5046]

Was Matt Dillon there?

[@user-ug6ti3op3x]

Really we should be surprised they can think with purpose . They sat down in a paradise area for a month pitched a sting and got a bite the last days ?

[@gigi9301]

Yeah they know she’s an athlete so they send the most out of shape cop to attempt physical apprehension. Genius!

[@elulugnie4250]

Threw away her life for a man. A MAN. Please guys, as long as you have your health and a sound mind, you can overcome almost ANYTHING, especially heartbreak. It will hurt and demolish you but you WILL heal and move on. That's how life works. No need to do anything permanent for a temporary situation

Knowing U.S. Marshalls, just as hard. The search would even take more effort since for someone allegedly poor, no money for travel, it would be domestic and the USA is a much bigger place to hide than Costa Rica. The Marshalls are like Texas Rangers, they get their man, or woman. Neither gets any reward money, just their pay.
