A man charged with murdering a woman he just became engaged to is awaiting extradition in Texas after being on the run since 2019.
Escoto was charged with murder of 42-year-old Brandie Frazier, whose body was found in her home on Palm Road in Woodcrest on Sept. 1, 2019. According to the Riverside County District Attorney's Office, Escoto and Frazier knew each other for more than a year and became engaged just before she was murdered.
Investigators believed Escoto may fled to Mexico, so they worked with the U.S. Marshals Service, the Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force's Fugitive Apprehension Unit Team 6 and Mexican law enforcement authorities to find him. In June, the task force received information that Escoto was possibly back on American soil, in Washington state. Investigators ultimately tracked him to Texas.
