 (Above: Jaime Veleta, lone remaining fugitive in case. Photo Credit: USMarshals.gov) Mario Talavera & Jaime Veleta are wanted for a drug cartel related murder in New Mexico. Talavera was briefly aired as the 50/50 fugitive for New Mexico on the two 2011 specials, but Veleta never even got his own amw.com profile. In 2008, Gerardo Nunez hired Danny Baca and Joseph Laycock to transport $7000 worth of marijuana from Mexico to Texas. However, the two skipped El Paso and took the drugs and the car to Albuquerque. That's when Mario Talavera, his cousin Jose Talavera, Jaime Veleta and a fourth unidentified suspect, kidnapped Baca and had him shot 22 times with an assault rifle, then had his body burned. A confidential informant led Bernalillo County authorities to Jose Talavera. As of 2011, investigators were trying to charge Nunez with kidnapping, but Mario Talavera and Jaime Veleta are still wanted for Danny Baca's murder. Thoughts? Talavera and Veleta were members of the Juarez Drug Cartel and they may be in Ciudad Juarez or somewhere nearby. My biggest issue with this case is AMW's laziness when they didn't even add an amw.com profile for Veleta. Admin Note #1: Mario Talavera has now been captured but Jaime Veleta is still at large. According to the US Marshals website, anyone with information should contact please contact their office for the district of New Mexico- (505) 346-6400/Albuquerque or (575) 527-6850/Las Cruces.www.usmarshals.gov/district/nm/www.borderlandbeat.com/2011/08/arrest-made-in-drug-cartel-killing-in.htmlwww.borderlandbeat.com/2009/08/drug-cartel-spill-over-to-burque.htmlAdmin Note #2: If you have any news-related updates on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-form |

I always wonder what- if any- the reasons are when AMW profiles one suspect from a case but not the other- such as Vinnicio Martinez and the "possibly deceased" Socorro Gutierrez.
I agree they may be in Mexico. This is a really brutal case and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more attention overall.

Okay unless this is a really weird coincidence, I just learned something I was not expecting. While searching for wanted abductors on the National Center For Missing & Exploited Children's search feature, I came across a "Mario Talavera" that seems to be EXACTLY the same as the Mario Talavera wanted in New Mexico. This "Mario Talavera" is believed to be accompanying a woman named Sandra Molina who is wanted out of Los Angeles for abducting her two children. She went on the run in March 2014. The age, height, weight and overall appearance seem to be a perfect match. www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/1221385a/2#poster |

Guess he might not be with Jaime Veleta then. Nice find!

Excellent to see that another 50/50 fugitive has been taken down.  If in the unlikely event that CNN does a The Hunt 50/50 special, Jaime Veleta should be the fugitive for New Mexico. |

According to a Spanish language article, Veleta was captured in Chihuahua, Mexico back in March and was expected to be extradited back to the U.S. They even provided an arrest photo!  translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=http://puentelibre.mx/noticia/120519-detuvieron_en_chihuahua_jaime_veleta_cartel_de_juarez_extraditaran_a_estados_unidos_por_secuestro_y_homicidio/2&xid=17259,15700022,15700122,15700124,15700149,15700168,15700186,15700190,15700201,15700208&usg=ALkJrhi3iBMVHTn0XlMO70hERLZFtdlCtA |
