Criminal background
Criminal background
Solis served 23 years in prison for murdering Louis Dake, a security guard, during an armored truck robbery in 1969. He was given parole in 1992. Following his release, he met Heather Tallchief, who became employed by a security company at his urging. In October 1993, following Solis' instructions, Tallchief drove away in an armored vehicle containing $3.1 million. The two subsequently went on the run and had a child. Tallchief gave herself up in September 2005. On March 30, 2006, she was sentenced to 63 months in prison and released on parole in June 2010, but Solis is still at large.
