Woman sought by police is captured in Kansas

More News

A woman wanted for tax evasion and previously named as a person of interest in her former husband’s 2007 murder was captured Monday night in north-central Kansas.

Letti Strait, 48, of Parkville, is accused of filing false tax returns claiming her children as dependents even though she had lost custody of them. If convicted, she would face up to 22 years in prison.

On Sept. 1, 2007, Strait’s former husband, Charles V. Cammisano, 52, was found dead in his Riverside home. He had been shot several times.

When authorities learned Strait may have been staying at a home in Concordia, Kan., they enlisted officers there to check the residence, Riverside Police Sgt. Dennis Jones said.

“She ran out the back door and into the arms of police,” he said.

Strait was jailed in Concordia and was expected to be extradited to Missouri, Jones said.
