Sniper Suspect May Have Fled to Mexico

The Justice Department said investigators have evidence that the man wanted for questioning in the Oct. 23 sniper slaying of Dr. Barnett Slepian, a Buffalo, N.Y., abortion provider, may have fled to Mexico. There is evidence that anti-abortion activist James Charles Kopp, 44, was driven to Mexico by a female friend, a Justice official said. Also, a Customs Service videotape from a border crossing point shows the woman’s car returning from Mexico. Newsweek magazine reported that credit card receipts reflect a trip to Mexico by the woman.
