irge in the Niagara County Jail,
Sorities said.
pggy Wright’s boyfriend, James
ker, 44, found her last Friday af-
ikingher 16-year-old son and 9-
year-old daughter to school that
morning, Lockport police Lt. Robert
Laforest said. He said investigators
have not pinpointed a motive.
“We’re not too sure,” Laforest
said. “We think he was upTiefe to get*
the kids back. That evidently re
sulted in some argument, resulting
in her death.”
Wright received permission from
his Travis County probation officer
for a 30-day leave to visit his parents
in Tonawanda, N.Y., a Buffalo sub
urb about 30 miles from Lockport,
authorities said.
Wright served two years’ proba
tion in Austin after pleading not
guilty to a charge of aggravated as
sault with a deadly weapon in the
case involving his then-estranged
wife in 1984. He pleaded guilty and
received five years’ probation on the
same charge involving Decker, said
Assistant Travis County District At
torney Ashton Cumberbatch.
Jerry Millsapps, director of the
I ravis County Adult Probation De
partment, saidvWrigltt had been fol
lowing terms of his probation and
that Wright’s request for leave was
routine in such cases.
Laforest said Peggy Wright and
their two children moved to New
York four months ago. She and her
ex-husband went to school in the
area near Niagara Falls. Decker ar
rived later from Austin.
She was stabbed several times in
the chest and back, apparently dur
ing a struggle, police said. Several
broken objects were found in the
apartment.

Police pursue car
through two states
in hour-long chase
EL PASO (AP) — Two men in a
stolen sports car led police in two
states on an hour-long chase Tues
day morning before stopping and
pushing the vehicle over a cliff, au
thorities said.
Two suspects were arrested a few
hours after the chase, Texas Depart
ment of Public Safety Sgt. Robert
Collins said. Charged with, burglary
of a business was Jimi Fonseca, 19, of
El Paso, police spokesman Mike
Murphy said. Charges were pending
against the other man, he said.
The chase started after 1 a.m.,
when DPS trooper Luis Carrillo
spotted a speeding Chevrolet Cam-
aro on Interstate 10 in El Paso and
pulled it over. When Carrillo got out
of his patrol car to issue the ticket,
the Camaro sped away, Collins said.
Carrillo chased the suspects 23
miles into New Mexico before losing
sight of them.
Las Cruces, N.M., police spotted
the car in the city a few minutes later
and tried to pull it over, but the
Camaro headed hack into Texas,
eluding its pursuers, police said.
Carrillo and units from the El
Paso County sheriff and the An
thony police department chased the
car up Transmountain Road, which
traverses a 5,500-foot-high pass in
the Franklin Mountains that bisect
El Paso.
El Paso police set up a roadblock
shortly before 2 a.m. at the east end
of Transmountain Road, but the car
never showed up. Instead, Collins
said, the suspects had enough of a
jump on pursuers to allow them to
stop the car and push it over a 200-
foot cliff. Then they ran away.
One man was arrested about 4
a.m. and the other was arrested
about three hours later, Collins said.
