Former Priest John Feit — the man long suspected of killing McAllen beauty queen Irene Garza — may return to McAllen on Wednesday to face the murder charge against him.
Investigators plan to take custody of Feit on Wednesday, according to news releases from the McAllen Police Department and Hidalgo County District Attorney’s Office.
District Attorney Ricardo Rodriguez, Sheriff Eddie Guerra and McAllen police Chief Victor Rodriguez plan to hold a news conference 3 p.m. Wednesday at the Hidalgo County Courthouse.
Irene Garza vanished on April 16, 1960, after driving to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in McAllen for confession. Days later, volunteers pulled her body from an irrigation canal.
