Marie Walsh was arrested on April 24 outside her home in San Diego's upscale Carmel Valley neighborhood -- she'd been living there under an ***umed identity for 32 years, but an anonymous tipster put an end to her ruse. In 1976 -- then known as Susan LeFevre -- she escaped a Michigan prison while serving a maximum 20-year sentence on heroin charges. Since then, she's raised three children with her husband of 23 years (who had no idea about her former life); now she's hoping for mercy from the courts.
