Criminal background
[edit]Solis served 23 years in prison for murdering Louis Dake, a security guard, during an armored truck robbery in 1969.[1][2] He was given parole in 1992.[3] Following his release, he met Heather Tallchief, who became employed by a security company at his urging.
In October 1993, following Solis' instructions, Tallchief drove away in an armored vehicle containing $3.1 million.[2][3] The two subsequently went on the run and had a child.[4] Tallchief gave herself up in September 2005.[5] On March 30, 2006, she was sentenced to 63 months in prison and released on parole in June 2010,[6] but Solis is still at large.[3]
