Yet Another U.S. Fugitive Arrested in Costa Rica
Costa Rican authorities yesterday confirmed the arrest of a Texas fugitive living in San Isidro de Heredia, north of San José, whom they have been pursuing ofr several years on international parental kidpnapping charges.

The former nurse, Chere Lyn Tomayko, fled Texas in 1999 after a Texas District court decided she and her boyfriend to have joint custore of their daughter, Alexandria Camille Cyprian. The court ordered that Cyprian was to live in Tarrant County.

Three years after the court decision, Tomayko left Texas with her daughter, now 18, and headed for Costa Rica. A U.S. Federal grand jury in Texas indicted Tomayko.

Working with Interpol, the international police agency, Costa Rican authorities detained Tomayko in San Isidro de General, Heredia, while driving and in the company of a five year old. Authorities said they do not know of Cyprian's location.

Tomayko, who have been living and working in Costa Rica as an English teacher in Heredia for almost a decade, will now face deportation to the United States.

Tomayko is the fourth U.S. fugitive to fall into the hands of authorities in the past month.
