Lois Colley’s murder shocked and mystified investigators, initially. There were no signs of forced entry at her vast estate, and no items reported missing.
Marroquin, 32, was a day laborer. who had done work at the Colleys’ Farm, but because he was not a regular worker with long ties to the family, he was not identified as a suspect until a few days after the killing, at which point  he had already fled the country.
Having tracked the Guatemalan native to Mexico, authorities believed Marroquin was in his native Guatemala, but it turned out he was in Mexico.
Authorities had planned to seek his extradition but he was deported from Mexico.
Without a direct flight to Guatemala, forced to travel through Miami, where federal authorities took him into custody on Friday  as a fugitive from justice. He was indicted last year on a felony charge of second-degree murder in the Colley case.
The suspect was booked in the Westchester County jail on Friday,  and also has an immigration detainer.

Lily Teng, a former housekeeper of the Colleys, from 2000-2005 and had filed a lawsuit against them for unpaid wages and other abuses. The suit was dismissed on technical grounds

Police investigators probe of Colley laborers revealed it was not the first time working conditions at their 300-acre estate, called Windswept Farm, drew legal questions.
Their former housekeeper, Lily Teng, lost her job in 2005 after a dispute over unpaid wages, court records show. The job entailed  14 or 15 hours days, cleaning, cooking and running other odd jobs for the couple
Teng described her work in the Colley mansion as a mix of sweatshop slave and museum curator., whisking dust-covered antiques and working dozens of hours without pay. Her driving the jet-setting millionaires to airports and babysitting their grandchildren.
Teng’s unpaid work tab, including some vacation days and related benefits, stood at nearly $15,700,and another $74,000 in separate overtime remained outstanding, court records show,.
The lawsuit, which sought nearly $400,000. It was dismissed in 2012 when a judge ruled Teng’s attorney failed to properly transfer the case from Queens, where she lives, to Westchester County.
Teng said farm workers told her of similar long hours and payment problems with the Colleys. She described a revolving door of groundskeepers and caretakers, many of them Central American immigrants with tenuous legal status, during her five years as housekeeper, beginning in 2000.
