The FBI says Elaine Angene Escoe, 41, an alleged fugitive in a $32 million COVID-19 relief fraud case, is taken into custody in Jamaica and returned to the United States. According to the FBI, Escoe had been living in Jamaica under a false identity, using the name “Harley Newman,” while authorities sought her in connection with the alleged scheme. Fox News reports that Jamaican authorities arrest Escoe and that she is subsequently returned to the U.S. The New York Post similarly states that Escoe is arrested in Jamaica after a federal manhunt and arrives back in South Florida. Both outlets describe the matter as an alleged fraud involving COVID-19 relief funds and frame the arrest as the culmination of efforts by federal investigators to locate a suspect who had been evading authorities. The reports do not provide further details in the excerpts about the specific charges, the nature of the alleged fraud, or the timeline of the scheme. The case remains subject to ongoing legal proceedings in U.S. court.
