International authorities have located and arrested a South Carolina woman, who is wanted in a murder investigation, in the Netherlands.

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 Loyd, 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.

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 Loyd's murder and became an international fugitive, USMS said in a press release.
