Her body was found a month ago in a parking lot on Cooper Street. Police are now saying they got a tip that Castaneda was in Lewisville and Thursday morning members of the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force went to the location, found him, and took him into custody on a violation of probation warrant that had been issued for his arrest.
