Matthew L'Heureux, deputy district attorney for the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office, said Monday that Lanoue was not believed to have retained an attorney to represent him in the reopened cold case. Lanoue had not yet entered a plea and is pending extradition from his hometown in Nevada.
"The Monterey County District Attorney’s Office is grateful for the combined efforts of the multiple local, state and federal agencies that resulted in the ability to identify and charge the suspect in the murder of Anne Pham," L'Heureux wrote in an email to Fox News Digital. "Because the criminal case is pending and Mr. Lanoue is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, we do not wish to make any additional comments at this time.
