A Maryland man and his stepdaughter were arrested Sunday near the U.S.-Mexico border and were charged in last year's killing of the woman's mother that was once blamed on a panhandler, Baltimore police said. Baltimore police said Keith Smith, 52, and his daughter Valeria Smith, 28, were attempting to flee the country but were apprehended by Texas State Police in Harlingen, near the border of Mexico. But on Sunday, police alleged that is was Smith and his stepdaughter – not the panhandler – who were responsible for his wife’s death. “The information and evidence points it wasn’t a panhandler,” Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison told reporters on Sunday. A family member said Smith had told the family he was moving to Florida and left Baltimore in mid-February.
