This was the last home of Glen Stewart Godwin, a convicted killer. He was on the run until officials caught up with him in Mexico, five months after his escape from Folsom Prison, California. Godwin, using the alias Michael Stewart Carrera, was arrested on November 4, 1987, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for drug trafficking. Officials say he was captured with 30 grams of cocaine.

Godwin was convicted of drug charges and sentenced to seven years at Puente Grande Federal Prison in Guadalajara, Mexico.

The FBI made a request to Mexican authorities in hopes of bringing Godwin to justice in the United States. Before he could go anywhere, officials say Godwin allegedly murdered a fellow inmate; five months later, on September 26, 1991, the FBI says Godwin escaped again, this time from the Puente Grande Federal Prison.

On December 7, 1996, Glen Godwin was named to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, and he's been there ever since.

  • I know its been 3 years - buts Mexican prison aren't link here in the US - best chance is hire someone locally to look for your husband and have the person deliver it - it should be cheap. Unlike the US, Mexican prison are ran by themselves, usually a city within high walls - Guard only patrol the wall.
