The Feds got involved because of the “interstate conspiracy to commit murder” and “interstate domestic violence” charges that they eventually convicted Jose Luis Del Toro. They are not supposed to be involved in strictly local cases unless requested by the investigating agency.
Thank you so much. I actually read the book about that case and yet I had no memory of why the feds took over that case.I thank you for renewing my memory. My mind was so blank. (And that is familiar territory for me.) You are kind and I appreciate that.
