SAN DIEGO, April 30 (UPI) -- U.S. Marshals said they have arrested a California woman wanted in Michigan for the past 32 years.

Susan Lefevre was serving a 10-20 year sentence for conspiracy and violation of drug laws when she walked away from the Detroit House of Corrections in 1976, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Wednesday.

Authorities say Lefevre married a man named Alan Walsh and has been living with her husband and three children in Carmel Valley for the past 10 years.

Recently the Michigan Department of Corrections received an anonymous tip that Lefevre might be living in California under the name Marie Walsh.

The department's Absconder Recovery Unit requested a thumb print of Marie Walsh from the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

U.S. Marshals were sent to arrest Walsh when the print proved to be an exact match of Lefevre's, the newspaper said.

She is currently awaiting extradition to Michigan to serve the remainder of her sentence.
