South Carolina woman wanted in murder investigation found in Netherlands
International authorities have located and arrested a South Carolina woman, who is wanted in a murder investigation, in the Netherlands.
Carlos Flores with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force told Fox News Digital that Kendal Wilson, 33, of Seneca, South Carolina, was arrested by Dutch National Police at the request of the USMS on April 4.
Kendra Wilson and her mother, Cynthia Wilson, were wanted in connection with the 2021 murder of Kendra’s ex-boyfriend and the father of her child, 21-year-old Connor Ethan Floyd, of Lyman, in the northwest corner of South Carolina.
Authorities issued warrants on both women for being an accessory before the fact of murder, being an accessory after the fact of murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Lyman Police Department officials arrested Wilson’s mother, Cynthia Wilson, on March 28.
Authorities found Kendra and her daughter living at what was described to Fox News Digital as a refugee camp. It is unclear what kind of ties, if any, Kendra had to the Netherlands.

Officials safely recovered Kendra’s daughter, who will be released to family members, Flores told Fox News Digital.
Kendra allegedly fled the United States in March after she found out she was being charged in Floyd’s murder and became an international fugitive, USMS said in a press release.
