Texas fugitive wears hoodie with chilling message on it amid arrest in connection with woman’s ‘suspicious death’
A Texas fugitive was dressed in a hoodie with a menacing message on it amid his arrest in connection with what authorities called a woman’s “suspicious death.”
The Azle Police Department said in a statement that it had worked with United States Marshals, Texas Rangers, the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division, and the Parker County Special Crimes Unit to locate and arrest Kruz Dean Wanser on Jan. 15.
‘She will be remembered for her creativity, humor, and the unwavering love that radiated from within her.’
Police said Wanser was a “wanted fugitive, who was sought in connection to the suspicious death of 37-year-old Margaret Pennington.”
Police said Pennington was found dead inside an Azle residence on Jan. 11.
“At this time, the cause of death is still pending,” law enforcement stated; the Tarrant County Medical Examiner is conducting the autopsy.
Police on Jan. 12 announced that Wanser was a “person of interest” in the suspicious death investigation and offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
Police said Wanser was arrested three days later and charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair a human corpse, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, and parole violation.
In his mugshot, Wanser wore a blue hoodie with the following message on it: “I will put you in a trunk and help people look for you. Stop playing with me.”
Police did not reveal any relationship between Wanser and Pennington and did not name a motive for her death.
According to Tarrant County court records the New York Post reviewed, Wanser was charged with evading police with a vehicle in 2021 and drug possession in 2022 and in July 2025.
Pennington’s obituary states she was “deeply loved by her family and friends.”
“Margaret had a creative and sentimental spirit. She found comfort in baking, crocheting, enjoyed music, had a keen interest in genealogy, and loved collecting vintage treasures that carried history and meaning,” her obituary reads.
Pennington is survived by her mother, father, former husband, and his three children, and she “cherished her role in helping raise” the kids.
“Margaret’s life was a tapestry of complexity, yet she embodied the essence of humanity and the profound love she shared,” the obituary reads. “She will be remembered for her creativity, humor, and the unwavering love that radiated from within her.”
The obituary cites 1 Corinthians 13:4, 7: “Love is patient, love is kind. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
Police are urging anyone with information about the case to contact them at 817-444-3221.
While police don’t mention Wanser’s hoodie message in their Facebook post, plenty of commenters sure noticed it. The following are but a few of the more than 1,000 reactions:
- “You know that saying, ‘Dress for the job you want, not the job you have’ really applies here,” one commenter wrote.
- “I don’t know if what the hoodie says can be used as evidence, but please find DNA on it and photograph it as evidence so it at least makes it into the court documents,” another user said.
- “I mean, have we checked the trunk?” another commenter asked.
- “Sometimes jokes write themselves…” another user observed.
- “The hoodie is not a good look bud,” another commenter stated.

$300M frozen: California allegedly forced Americans to fund illegal alien Medicaid — so Dr. Oz drops the hammer
The Trump administration officials are pushing California to return over $1 billion in federal taxpayer funds that may have been used to cover the health care costs of illegal aliens.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced in May that it was increasing oversight on states that illegally used Medicaid funding to provide illegal immigrants with health care services, noting that Medicaid funding is generally available to illegal aliens only for emergency medical services.
‘We are teaming up to combat healthcare fraud so the money can be used for American citizens who need it!’
As part of the announcement, the CMS declared that states could be forced to reimburse the federal government for funds spent on noncitizens.
CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz revealed in October that the agency found more than $1 billion of federal taxpayer funds were spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
“And my team is getting it back,” he remarked.
Oz called CMS’ findings “shocking.”
“In a preliminary review of six states, we found those states improperly using federal tax dollars for their allegedly state-funded program and providing coverage to individuals, including some with criminal records of murder and assault,” he stated.
Those findings included $1.3 billion in California, $2.1 million in Washington, D.C., $30 million in Illinois, $2.4 million in Washington, $1.5 million in Colorado, and $5.4 million in Oregon.

Oz explained that the states had been notified and that “many” had begun issuing refunds to CMS. However the administrator provided an update on Wednesday, stating that additional uncovered data revealed the total had reached $1.8 billion across eight states.
He announced that the CMS is withholding nearly $300 million from California, which Oz labeled “the worst offender,” until the state’s leadership proves “they’re spending the money properly.”
Bill Essayli, first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, stated, “California must return more than $1 billion to the federal government after an audit by @DrOzCMS and his team uncovered federal dollars being spent on healthcare for illegal immigrants. We are teaming up to combat healthcare fraud so the money can be used for American citizens who need it!”
California officials have rejected claims that the federal funds were misused.
The California Department of Health Care Services previously told the New York Times, “Claims that California improperly used federal Medicaid dollars to provide health care to undocumented immigrants are flatly false and misrepresent both federal law and standard administrative practice.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Washington, D.C., has agreed to pay back over $650,000 to CMS by mid-November.
An Illinois Medicaid spokesperson previously told PolitiFact, “Once again, the Trump administration is spreading misinformation about standard uses of Medicaid dollars.”
“This is not a reality show, and there is no conspiracy to circumvent federal law and provide ineligible individuals with Medicaid coverage. Dr. Oz should stop pushing conspiracy theories and focus on improving health care for the American people,” the spokesperson added.
A Washington State Health Care Authority also pushed back on CMS’ claims, calling the estimates shared by Oz “inaccurate.”
“We were very surprised to see Dr. Oz’s post, especially considering we continue to work with CMS in good faith to answer their questions and clear up any confusion,” the spokesperson said.
Colorado’s Department of Health Care Policy & Financing also insisted the state did not break the law.
“Our payments for coverage of undocumented individuals are in accordance with state and federal laws,” a spokesperson told PolitiFact. “The $1.5 million number referenced by federal leaders today is based on an incorrect preliminary finding, and has been refuted with supporting data by our Department experts.”
Oregon Health Authority previously told KOIN that CMS’ claim was “false and mischaracterizes not just this essential part of our nation’s emergency care infrastructure, but also an ongoing, routine audit process.”
