B. E-MAIL REQUEST FROM CA RAY KELLY/BELICE CO ON
2-24-04


1. (SBU) On March 10, 2004, U.S. Fugitives Teddy Lee FRENCH
and Christopher FRENCH were apprehended by the Honduran
National Police and Frontier Police at the San Pedro Sula
International Airport. Both Teddy Lee FRENCH and Christopher
FRENCH were placed into the custody of Deputy U.S Marshals
and returned to the United States for prosecution. The
details are as follows:


2. (SBU) Based upon the above referenced telephone
conversations and e-mail requests, A/CA Ivan Rios contacted
the Director of Frontier Police and requested that
surveillance be conducted at the airport in San Pedro Sula.
On March 10, 2004, at approximately 5:00 a.m., members of the
Honduran semi-vetted unit established surveillance at the
airport attempting to locate Ted Leon FRENCH while the
Frontier Police established a uniformed presence. At
approximately 6:30 a.m., S/A Rios observed Ted Leon French on
the passenger line of the American Airlines ticket counter
and notified the police of his presence. At approximately
7:00 a.m., Ted Leon French terminated his business at the
ticket counter and proceeded to the airport tax collection
counter where he was met by two males. One male was later
identified as Teddy Lee FRENCH and the other was a taxi
driver. All three subsequently walked to a Wendy's
restaurant window located inside the airport. At this point,
the Frontier Police began conducting a random sweep of the
airport with a K-9 dog. It was apparent that the FRENCHs
became visibly nervous as they maintained constant visual
with the dog. They later retrieved their food and walked to
a table at the opposite side of where the K-9 patrol was
located.


3. (SBU) Subsequently, the K-9 was brought to the table where
the FRENCHs were eating. The police asked to review their
documentation and they all complied. Upon reviewing the
paperwork, the police asked that they accompany the police to

interview rooms for investigation. Under Honduran law, the
police are authorized to hold anyone for investigation at
border locations. The two FRENCHs were separated and were
interviewed. Teddy Lee FRENCH told the police he was a
Honduran national born in Omoa, Honduras, but that he moved
to the United States at a very early age. He had recently
returned to Honduras but, because he had been living in the
U.S. for over thirty five years, he did not speak Spanish.
Teddy Lee FRENCH had in his possession a Honduran drivers
license (which is what he had shown the K-9 officer) and a
Honduran passport, number B046138. Both forms of ID
identified him as Fernando GUARDADO-Guardado, born on
February 17, 1962 in Omoa, Honduras. The passport appeared
brand new, practically without creases and had no immigration
travel stamps in it. Teddy Lee FRENCH continued to insist
that the documents were real and that's who he was.


4. (SBU) Ted Leon French was interviewed and asked
rudimentary questions pertaining to his stay in Honduras to
which he responded that he loved Honduras and was just
visiting family that lived in Omoa and San Pedro Sula. Ted
Leon French (from henceforth referred to as Ted Leon) stated
that Fernando GUARDADO was married to his step-daughter and
had known him for approximately five years. Ted Leon
initially stated that GUARDADO lived in Omoa, but later
stated that he lived in San Pedro Sula. Ted Leon French
claimed that he was returning to the United States to retire
and would return in June to start constructing homes as a
business and homes for his family. Ted Leon also stated that
he had another family member living in Honduras named Chris.
When asked who he was, Ted Leon stated Chris was married to
his other step-daughter. When confronted with the fact that
"Fernando" had a fictitious passport, Ted Leon stated he knew
nothing of that. When asked how well he knew Fernando, Ted
Leon replied that he knew Fernando for about five years, but
didn't know him well. Ted Leon claimed that Fernando was
Honduran by birth, born in Omoa, but that Fernando had moved
to the U.S. when he was about five years old and that's why
Fernando didn't speak much Spanish. When asked if he was
sure about his relationship to Fernando, Ted Leon responded,
Yes, that Fernando was married to his step-daughter.


5. (SBU) Ted Leon complied with a police request to open his
brief case. Inside the briefcase was Ted Leon's birth
certificate, numerous bottles of medications he needed for
various ailments, many photographs of himself, Teddy Lee
FRENCH and Christopher FRENCH with their families taken
throughout various locations in Honduras and blank personal
checks from two separate accounts at Peoples Bank belonging
to Christopher FRENCH and Amanda FRENCH that were signed.
All that was needed to endorse these checks were to add a
name, date and a dollar amount. From the photographs, Ted
Leon identified Teddy Lee and identified Chris as the man
that was married to his other step-daughter. Ted Leon's
passport had immigration stamps that showed he entered Belize
by plane and then drove a vehicle through Guatemala on either
February 2 or 3, 2004. He then drove the vehicle into
Honduras on February 04, 2004. The vehicle was identified as
a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. When asked about this strange
itinerary, Ted Leon responded that his step-daughter had
become really ill with stomach trouble and, since she had a
baby he traveled to Belize to help her. She was flown to
Mexico City and found to be all right She then flew to
Honduras. Since they had left the vehicle in Belize, he
helped transport it to Honduras. Inside the briefcase was a
paper with handwritten notes with the names Chris and Ted,
phone numbers 504-658-9076, 504-434-4545 and Lin
479-238-4303. Also on the paper was a note with the
following information: Belize City Airport, Call Darwin
August, 203-3252, 600-5824; Vehicle 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee
black, Vin, Map in glove box, redline to destination which is
San Pedro Sula.


6. (SBU) Also in the possession of Ted Leon (inside the
briefcase) was a map of Honduras, a hand written letter, 2
pages with hand written notes concerning construction
equipment and supplies, a receipt from MegaTel dated February
18, 2004 in the name of Fernando GUARDADO-Guardado for the
purchase of a Motorola V66i cellphone, simm card and two
prepaid cards. There were also two money wrappers from Banco
Ficensa, each stamped for fifty thousand Lempiras (local
Honduran currency). The total is equivalent to approximately
six thousand dollars in U.S. currency. In addition, there
was a business card from a real estate company called Insol.
On the card was a hand written marking indicating the
location of a residence for Fernando at 23 Calle 50, # 1521,
San Pedro Sula. Subsequently, the police found that this
address corresponded exactly with the address where the
FRENCH's were living. Ted Leon was later escorted to the
airplane where he left for Miami, Florida without incident.
S/A Rios notified GS Larry Roberts at the Arkansas RO to
inform him of these facts.


7. (SBU) Police then interviewed the taxi driver who was
found to be in possession of a silver .38 caliber revolver.
The driver was later identified as Luis Ernesto Leva-Rivera.
Leva-Rivera admitted that he had been a driver for the
FRENCHs for the past month and had transported them to many
locations including Omoa, Puerto Cortes, Trujillo, Copan,
Santa Rosa de Copan, and Lago Yojoa. While on a trip to
Trujillo, Fernando (Teddy Lee FRENCH) provided Leva-Rivera
with five hundred dollars to legally purchase a gun from the
armory. Leva-Rivera would later carry the weapon to protect
them. Leva-Rivera purchased it legally and a week later
purchased another one in the same manner. The second weapon
was maintained by Teddy Lee FRENCH at his residence.
Leva-Rivera was told he would be arrested for his actions and
at that point he agreed to cooperate. Leva-Rivera stated he
knew where the FRENCHs lived, that a boy named Chris, two
women and a child were living at the house, and that he could
take the police to the location. S/A Rios suggested that
since Christopher FRENCH was a fugitive it might be easier to
lure him to the airport where he could be arrested under
border entry laws. The police agreed, gave Leva-Rivera
instructions and followed him to the FRENCH's residence.
Leva-Rivera arrived at the residence and told Christopher
FRENCH that his grandfather (Ted Leon) had become ill at the
airport. Leva-Rivera then transported Christopher FRENCH to
the airport where he was escorted by the police to a waiting
area for investigation. The police attempted to interview
Christopher FRENCH, but he claimed he could not speak
Spanish. No identification was found on his person.


8. (SBU) Police then returned to the FRENCH residence in an
attempt to retrieve the weapon. Karen French came out of the
residence to greet the police but was uncooperative. She was
told that Christopher FRENCH had been detained for lack of
identification and that the police needed to retrieve it.
She entered the house but returned stating she could not
locate it. She asked for her husband Fernando. When asked
what was Fernando's last name, it took her approximately five
seconds to think of it. It was visibly obvious that she had
a problem remembering it and then pronounced the name
incorrectly. Karen French was told that Fernando had false
identification and that Chris had none. If proper
identification wasn't produced they would both be arrested
and deported to the United States. At that point, she began
to cry. She was then advised that the police knew there was
a weapon inside the house that needed to be retrieved. She
initially declined, stating that the weapon belonged to the
taxi driver and that she did not trust the police. After
some further conversation, Karen French agreed to allow the
police to enter and take possession of the weapon. The
police then seized a black .38 revolver manufactured in the
Philippines. After further conversation and further attempts
at deception, Karen French agreed to cooperate with the
authorities for the sake of her family, providing the
following statements over a course of several meetings:


9. (SBU) Karen French stated that Teddy Lee FRENCH had to
flee the United States because the cops in Arkansas were
going to kill him, otherwise they never would have come to
Honduras. It all began several years earlier when Teddy Lee
FRENCH's step-daughter notified the police Task Force that
she was obtaining drugs from her step-father. Karen FRENCH
stated the step-daughters's statements were complete lies and
the truth was that the step-daughter regularly received money
from Teddy Lee FRENCH. When Teddy Lee FRENCH realized she
was using the money to purchase drugs, he stopped providing
her with money. The police then targeted him and eventually
conducted a search warrant that didn't produce anything.
Teddy Lee FRENCH went to trial and beat the charges,
subsequently suing the police. According to Karen French,
Teddy Lee FRENCH won the law suit and was awarded a large sum
of money. The day before Teddy Lee FRENCH was to collect the
settlement, the police conducted another search warrant
because they couldn't allow the FRENCHs to make them look
bad. It was not clear when this occurred but Karen French
stated that the police attempted to kill Teddy Lee FRENCH and
conducted another search warrant on a location that had
previously been searched with negative results. At that
point, Teddy Lee FRENCH and her son, Christopher FRENCH, were
arrested. They then fled in fear for their lives.


10. (SBU) Karen FRENCH went on to say that they all had
traveled in a Jeep Cherokee through Mexico into Belize. They
were allowed to remain in Belize for a short period of time
on temporary tourist papers (S/A Rios believes she may have
stated they were allowed to stay three days). They all then
took a boat to Honduras with the understanding that the
Belizian government would not allow them re-entry into Belize
if they were denied access into Honduras. The boat ride was
very rough and frightening. Once in Honduras, they attempted
to gain entry through Honduran Immigration but a man claiming
he would assist them with their paperwork actually stole
their identifications (i.e. drivers licenses). Teddy Lee
FRENCH then decided to obtain fictitious paperwork for the
whole family.


11. (SBU) During this conversation, the maid advised the
police that another woman was in a room in the back of the
house. Police asked that Karen French bring the woman to the
living room. Karen French complied and shortly thereafter
Amanda French walked to the living room carrying a small male
child later identified as Chance Christopher French. Amanda
French was advised that her husband Christopher FRENCH was
detained and would probably be deported. Amanda French asked
if she was going to be arrested. She then stated that Chance
was six months old and she did not want to be separated from
him. Both Karen and Amanda French stated they missed their
homes in Arkansas and had only traveled to Honduras following
their husbands. When asked if she thought that traveling in
a boat with such a young child (six months old) was too
dangerous, Amanda French replied that it was and that it was
the scariest thing she had ever done. The police asked if
Karen and Amanda French had any false documents. Karen
French replied that they did not because the man who was
producing the Honduran documents had not completed them yet.
Karen French stated she only wanted to do what was best for
their husbands and their family. The police originally
wanted to arrest Karen and Amanda French and have immigration
deport them. S/A Rios asked if there was another way to
accomplish this considering they were cooperating and had a
child who would be displaced from the family. The police
agreed to forgo all charges if they agreed to exit the
country as quickly as possible but this could only be
accomplished if they all, especially/primarily Teddy Lee and
Christopher FRENCH, agreed to sign waivers where they would
voluntarily leave the country. This would minimize
intervention from immigration authorities, otherwise they
would all have to be arrested and brought to trial to face
illegal entry and deportation charges. Both Karen and Amanda
French immediately agreed.


12. (SBU) The police met with Teddy Lee FRENCH and
interviewed him. Teddy Lee FRENCH claimed he was Fernando
GUARDADO, born in Honduras and raised in the U.S. Teddy Lee
FRENCH was confronted with the fact that it was already
confirmed that his paperwork was fictitious, that the police
had already spoken to his wife and that he needed to stop
lying. Teddy Lee FRENCH then agreed to tell the truth and
related the following:


13. (SBU) Teddy Lee FRENCH stated that approximately in 1999,
his step-daughter was buying and using drugs so he stopped
providing her with money. She became upset and notified a
Task Force in Arkansas that she was obtaining drugs from him.
The police then conducted a search warrant that didn't
produce anything. Teddy Lee FRENCH beat the criminal charges
and sued. Teddy LEE FRENCH won the law suit and was awarded
approximately four million dollars. Sixteen hours before he
was to collect the settlement, the police conducted another
search warrant because they couldn't allow him to win and
unsuccessfully attempted to kill him. Teddy Lee FRENCH then
showed S/A Rios and the police a series of scars he claimed
were gunshot wounds. The police then executed two more
search warrants and charged him with having a Methamphetamine
Lab. Teddy Lee and Christopher FRENCH each made bond at
one-hundred thousand dollars a piece. Teddy Lee FRENCH
posted twenty thousand dollars for himself and for
Christopher FRENCH. They were to return to post another
one-hundred thousand dollars, but fled upon the advise of his
lawyer.


14. (SBU) Teddy Lee FRENCH and his family then traveled to
Belize in a Jeep Grand Cherokee and then took a boat to
Honduras. The boat dropped them off in Omoa during a storm.
Teddy Lee FRENCH stated his family was upset at him but there
was nothing he could do. It was unclear exactly when they
met Saudy Javier REYES-Rodriguez, but they met him in Omoa
where he offered to provide them with authentic Honduran
documentation. REYES-Rodriguez charged Teddy Lee FRENCH
one-hundred twenty-five thousand dollars to provide them all
with Honduran documents. Over a period of time,
REYES-Rodriguez took Teddy Lee FRENCH to various locations
where he obtained different documents. REYES-Rodriguez took
Teddy Lee FRENCH to Omoa to get a birth certificate and a
social security card (Honduran identity card) where it was
done at a government office. They went to Puerto Cortes where
the police and other workers photographed him and provided
him with a drivers license. They traveled to San Pedro Sula
where Teddy Lee FRENCH was photographed and processed at the
passport office by government workers. REYES-Rodriguez and
Teddy Lee FRENCH filled out all the applications at the
office and obtained the authentic Honduran passport. The
same was subsequently done for Karen French. Teddy Lee
FRENCH was vague about whether Christopher FRENCH and Amanda
had already gone through the process or were still preparing
to do it. REYES-Rodriguez also kept their vehicle (the Jeep
Cherokee) at his home or office because REYES-Rodriguez did
not want them driving it until he had obtained all the proper
paperwork for it, including license plates. Since meeting
REYES-Rodriguez, the FRENCHs obtained a rental vehicle they
used or had Luis Ernesto (Leva-Rivera) transport them by taxi
(although REYES-Rodriguez frequently used the rental vehicle
attempting to obtain their documents). According to Teddy
Lee FRENCH, REYES-Rodriguez works from an office in Omoa that
has a green sign with the words Legal on it.


15. (SBU) The U.S Embassy's Consular Section was advised of
the situation concerning the family (U.S. citizens) and
requested advice as to how to proceed so they could travel
back to the U.S. The Consular Section stated that Karen,
Amanda, and the child needed to go to the Consulate in San
Pedro Sula (SPS) to expedite their paperwork that would allow
them re-entry into the U.S. Considering the fact that one
parent was awaiting deportation, it was imperative that a
document signed by both parents granting the child to travel
with one parent to the United States be brought to the
Consulate in SPS immediately. The Embassy Consular Section
then coordinated with the Consulate in SPS and arranged that
it remain open to await the arrival of the agents and the
affected family.


16. (SBU) Teddy Lee FRENCH was advised that the police
already knew he was a fugitive from the United States and
that he would be deported. Teddy Lee FRENCH stated he only
wanted to do what was right for his family and agreed to
leave the country voluntarily. Teddy Lee FRENCH said he was
prepared to face the challenges awaiting him in Arkansas and
asked if he could speak to his son so as to convince him to
also leave voluntarily.


17. (SBU) The police briefly spoke to Christopher FRENCH and
physically checked him, finding a tattoo on his back with the
word FRENCH. Christopher FRENCH was advised that the police
already knew he and his father were both wanted in the United
States, that the police had spoken to everyone in the
household and that everyone was cooperating. It was
explained to Christopher FRENCH that he had the same two
options that were given to his father and that his father had
already agreed to leave the country voluntarily. It was also
explained that his family could be displaced and that the
police were attempting to do everything possible to avoid
that. Christopher FRENCH was also told that he would need to
write a letter granting Amanda French permission to obtain a
passport for his son Chance French so they could travel
together to the U.S. Christopher FRENCH agreed and wrote the
letter. He then thanked everyone and the police proceeded to
pick up Amanda French and her son.


18. (SBU) The police picked up Amanda and Chance French and
transported them to the Consulate in SPS where all the
necessary documents were prepared to expedite the paperwork.
The paperwork was turned over to U.S. personnel to hand carry
to the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa for expedited processing.
Amanda and Chase French were then transported back to the
residence. While transporting Amanda French back to her
residence, she was told that she needed to contact the
airlines to make reservations and find out which airlines had
the most convenient route back home and the best prices. At
this point, Amanda French stated that she was afraid of
flying home because she had never flown in a plane before.


19. (SBU) Karen French subsequently provided S/A Rios and the
police with a Honduran passport belonging to her and a
briefcase belonging to REYES-Rodriguez. The Honduran
passport, number B046450 had her photograph and the name Ana
Maria GONZALEZ-Ayala with Honduran identity number
0503-2004-00117. Karen French stated she never wanted it and
that Teddy Lee FRENCH had obtained it for her because their
identifications where stolen in Puerto Cortes. She stated
that they had traveled by bus to Puerto Cortes when their
ID's were stolen. When asked where she obtained the
passport, Karen FRENCH stated that REYES-Rodriguez had taken
her to the passport office and had all the paperwork and
photographs done.


20. (SBU) Inside the briefcase were some personal items and
folders containing documents/applications used to obtain
Honduran documents (like those obtained by Teddy Lee FRENCH).
One folder contained the applications and paperwork to
process and obtain Honduran documents for Christopher FRENCH
and Amanda French. The paperwork included witness statements
from Gabino Bautista (Honduran identity 1002-1941-00003),
Alfonso Bautista (Honduran identity 1002-1934-00125) and
Yolanda Zelaya who is the president of the Muchilena Village
in Omoa. The witness statements were stamped/notarized by
Ana Franciasca Palna at the National Register of Persons,
Municipal Civil Registry. Christopher FRENCH's new identity,
pending completion of the paperwork, would have been
Christopher Charles GUARDADO-Gonzalez while Amanda French's
new identity would have been Amanda Maria GONZALEZ-Ayala.


21. (SBU) Amongst the personal paperwork that was found in
the briefcase was a bank book from Banco de Occidente in
Omoa, Cortes, account number 21-225-000852-5. Interestingly,
this account was open on June 17, 1999 and very small
deposits are registered until February 4, 2004. On February
4, 2004, a fifteen-thousand dollar deposit was made. The
following day, a fifty-thousand dollar deposit was made. On
February 6, 2004, a fifty-two thousand dollar was withdrawn
and then on February 20, 2004, another fifty-thousand dollar
deposit was made. This corresponds with the time frame in
which the FRENCH's had recently arrived and the exact arrival
time of Ted Leon French. The aggregate one-hundred
fifteen-thousand dollar deposit closely corresponds with the
one-hundred twenty-five thousand dollars Teddy Lee FRENCH
claims he gave REYES-Rodriguez. Also found was paperwork for
a sonogram taken of Ana Carolina REYES-Barahona on February
23, 2004 at Centro Medico Litoral Atlantico in SPS. Ana
Carolina REYES-Barahona is believed to be the wife of
REYES-Rodriguez.


22. (SBU) The police later returned to the airport and
notified Teddy Lee and Christopher FRENCH about the process
that was taken on behalf of their family and advised them how
they themselves would be processed. The FRENCHs acknowledged
that they understood and they were allowed to telephonically
speak to their wives before being processed. At
approximately 9:00 p.m., the police transported Teddy Lee and
Christopher FRENCH to Tegucigalpa where they were lodged at
the Frontier Police Headquarters in the early morning hours
of March 11, 2004.


23. (SBU) On March 11, 2004, at approximately 1:00 p.m.,
Teddy Lee FRENCH and Christopher FRENCH were transported to
Toncontin Airport where the Frontier Police handed custody of
the FRENCHs to Honduran Immigration. The A/RSO arrived at
the airport to assist in the coordination between the
Honduran authorities and the U.S. Marshals. At approximately
2:30 p.m., the U.S. Marshals Service arrived at the airport
where Honduran Immigration handed them custody of both Teddy
Lee and Christopher FRENCH. The Marshals then processed them
and prepared them for the return flight back to the United
States on the Justice Prisoner Alien Transportation System
(JPATS). At approximately 3:12 p.m., the JPATS flight
departed Honduras enroute to the U.S.


24. (SBU) The TCO would like to extend a special thanks to
everyone who provided the TCO with so much cooperation and
coordination during this operation, especially the Arkansas
RO, the Tegucigalpa and Belize RSO's office, the JPATS and
Arkansas US Marshals, the Belize CO, the TAT, and, of course,
our Honduran counterparts who worked hard and diligently to
make this a success.


24. (SBU) Pursuant to the DEA Agents Manual, section 6242.11,
this TWX is submitted in lieu of a DEA-6.


25. (U) Any questions regarding this cable can be directed to
