Wife of Slain Gunman Released
The widow of one of the two bank robbers fatally shot by police in a botched North Hollywood holdup was released from jail Tuesday, nearly a week after the woman led LAPD detectives to hundreds of thousands of dollars believed stolen by her husband.
Jeanette Teresa Federico was arrested last week on a warrant issued in connection with a child custody charge in New Mexico. She was released from a Colorado jail on $10,000 bail and ordered to return to court June 19, said her attorney, Steven Newell.
Federico was married to Larry Phillips, who was killed with his alleged partner, Emil Matasaraneau. The two robbers engaged police in a fierce gunfight that began outside the Laurel Canyon Boulevard branch of Bank of America on Feb. 28.
