Angel Maria Herrera, a suspect in the 2005 murder of Maria Morfin-Rojas in Lenexa, has been extradited to the U.S. after nearly 20 years on the run. Herrera, who fled to Mexico shortly before Morfin-Rojas's body was discovered, was arrested in El Salvador in April 2023. Following extensive efforts by local and federal law enforcement agencies, including the Johnson County District Attorney's Office and the FBI, Herrera was brought back to the U.S. and booked into the Johnson County Adult Detention Center. He faces first-degree murder charges and is held on a $1 million bond, awaiting an arraignment in Johnson County District Court. The case highlights the challenges of long-term investigations and international extradition processes, underscoring the commitment of law enforcement to pursue justice for victims and their families.
