The U.S. Marshals Service announced the suspect, 26-year-old Edgar Zepeda, was arrested late last month in Ameca-Jalisco, Mexico after an exhaustive investigation. This case illustrates the importance of law enforcement partnerships, both locally and globally, and the tenacity and persistence of our Deputy US Marshals.

A Utah man charged with kidnapping and rape has been arrested in Mexico.
The 27-year-old man, formerly of Kearns, is being held in California awaiting extradition to Utah.
In October 2019, he was charged in 3rd District Court with aggravated kidnapping and four counts of aggravated rape, all first-degree felonies. According to the charges, a woman told police that, on Sept. 17, 2016, she was walking down a street when two men got out of their car, grabbed her and forced her into the vehicle. They then took her to an abandoned house, she said, where one of the men raped her.
