The Carmel Valley wife and mother of three who has become known as the "Fugitive Mom" is about to begin a new life once again.
Susan Lefevre is expected to return home this week to serve out her parole.
Lefevre, who lived under the name Marie Walsh since her 1976 escape from a Detroit prison, was captured in April 2007.
An anonymous tip and fingerprints from the California DMV lead U.S. Marshals to her home. She was extradited back to Michigan to serve time on the original sentence for a heroin sale, but in January the Michigan Parole Board voted to release her on May 19.
Lefevre has served more than a year behind bars. Her neighbors say they'll welcome her home with open arms.
"It's great, I think it's about time she is home, it's too bad she had to go in the first place" said next-door neighbor Hank Greenberg.
Greenberg says most, if not all, neighbors feel the same way. One important question though: Will he call her Marie or Susan?

"As far as I know she is Marie" said Greenberg who added that it would be nice to have the neighborhood back the way it once was.
