Woman arrested in Mexico 19 years after fleeing fatal DUI crash in Florida
A tragic car crash that occurred nearly two decades ago in Hialeah resulted in the death of Gloria Marcia Hall, a 40-year-old mother of two and the sister of a Miami Police commander. The crash, which took place at an intersection, was caused by a driver who ran a flashing red light and was found to have a blood-alcohol level over twice the legal driving limit. The driver fled to Mexico with the help of her boyfriend, who worked at the Hialeah Police Department, but was recently extradited back to Miami to face a vehicular homicide charge by the U.S. Marshals Service. After 19 years of evading authorities, Leydis Menendez Abdala, now 52, is now facing a potential 15-year prison sentence if convicted. For Hall's grieving family, the long-awaited apprehension of Menendez Abdala brings a mix of emotions, as they have spent years enduring the pain of their loss. The family expresses gratitude for the renewed pursuit of justice and is hopeful that the legal process will bring some closure.
