Getting Arrested

By that time, police had evidence to arrest him on ‘money-laundering charges in connection with his claim he paid cash to buy the Well Deserved.’ And then in March of 2005, his accomplice, Machain, who had just come back from Mexico too, got arrested as well. Authorities would also end up taking Kennedy and Deleon’s wife, Jennifer, into custody too.

Confessing Everything

Alonso Machain ended up leaving Mexico because he was afraid of what his fate would be there. He knew he could possibly get a plea deal if he chose to work with the authorities back home. So as soon as he was in police custody, he ended up telling the police everything that had happened that day when Tom and Jackie went missing, all the horrible little details.
