A married lesbian couple facing murder charges in the 2020 fatal stabbing in Dallas of a Seattle woman have cut off their ankle monitors and fled while free on bond - and cops did not learn of their abscondment until 10 days later.
Nina Marano, 50, and her wife, Lisa Dykes, 58, were out on their $500,000 bonds for six months when they removed their GPS trackers on Christmas Day within moments of each other and at the same location, according to court documents filed this week in Dallas.
The pair are charged with fatally stabbing 23-year-old Marisela Botello-Valadez in October 2020. The victim's ex-boyfriend is also charged with murder and remains jailed.
Under the conditions of their release, Marano and Dykes were to stay under house arrest and to wear their ankle monitors at all times.
The GPS devices were being monitored by a third party - a private security company called Sentinel - on behalf of the Dallas County Pretrial Services' Electronic Monitoring Bond Division, according to a court document reviewed by DailyMail.com.
On Christmas Day, the signal to both their monitors was last. Two days later, police emailed and texted the fugitives, but received no response.
Then on Tuesday of this week - 10 days after the couple's GPS monitors stopped emitting signals - authorities in Dallas County were finally notified of their abscondment.
Officials blamed the delay on being understaffed over the winter holidays.
Dykes’ attorney, Heath Harris, told Fox News Digital that the batteries in his client's ankle monitor died and he has not been in communication with her.
I just hope that nothing's happened to them, you know? I hope that they're safe,' Harris told the outlet.

it proves she was born that way
Life is so ironic sometimes.
“her wife, Lisa Dykes,”
LOL. I think this is called an “aptronym.”
Some animals are more equal than others.
Or she changed her name to fit her life style.
Blue Dallas in Red Texas!
“Abscondment” — now there’s a word you don’t see often.
Lesbians have been known to be extremely violent.
Like Dr Bledsoe.
There’s an orthopedic surgeon in my town with the last name of Bonebreak.
Apparently so
My wife used to see a gynecologist named Dr Gurley.
A library cop named Bookman is like an ice cream man named Cone!
We have a dr anal ram.protagonist.
What could be the motivation ? A young, possibly attractive, 23 yr old straight woman murdered by a couple of middle aged dykes (including Dykes). Could jealousy be a factor ? I mean what lez wouldn’t want to munch young carpet.
I see the dykes got special treatment. They're out on bond and the guy sits in jail.
Yikes! Dykes!
and cops did not learn of their abscondment until 10 days later.
So much to unpack in the little quote:
1. Kudos for the use of abscondment in a sentence! It IS more than just a Scrabble word!
2. Cops don’t monitor their own bracelets? Someone had to inform them 10days later? oh: maybe the parole people didn’t let the cops know? Or maybe they thought the lack of movement was due to extended carpet cleaning?So many questions...
The victim’s ex-boyfriend is also charged with her murder. He’s already in custody. No ankle bracelet for him.
