Prosecutor Luis Gonzalez identified the woman arrested yesterday as Wilhelma Kredelbach, a Colombia resident for two decades.
Gonzalez told The Associated Press that Kredelbach apparently contacted members of the Urabenos, a criminal band engaged in drug trafficking and killings-for-hire, after the November burglary of her home in the Caribbean city of Santa Marta.
