Two fugitives wanted out of South Dakota on human trafficking charges were apprehended on Monday in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Sheilata Gordon and Myeshia Gordon-Hughley had been on the run for over eight years, with warrants for human trafficking.
In 2017, both were charged with several felonies in Hughes County but fled the state after being freed on bond following their initial court appearances.
The US Marshals Service had information that the pair was hiding in Omaha, Nebraska, but further investigation revealed that they had recently fled Nebraska and went to Grand Prairie, where they were apprehended at a hotel.
Investigators think Gordon and Gordon-Hughley had lived in multiple states while avoiding arrest, and they had changed their identities to evade law enforcement.
The two are awaiting extradition to South Dakota.
