My mother is Patricia Harvey. Her maiden name is Patricia Newton. Theodore L. Newton was her brother, and he was my uncle. I was one year old when my mother received the phone call about his death. Ted was a great father and a great man. We all have missed him terribly, but we know that he was proud to serve his country.
Thankfully, his two children (my cousins) are doing well, and have wonderful children of their own, and live happy lives. Ted would be proud. Rest in Peace Uncle.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice and may you keep safe the borders of paradise in peace for eternity. It is truly a horrible injustice against you, your family and fellow agents/officers and our nation that these cold-blooded murderers are set free while your life and the life of Inspector Azrak were cut short by cowards. I trust that the border patrol agents of Heaven will witness due justice meted out...RIP brother

Ted,
I was only 13 when you were killed. I remember you as the nice man who dated and married my cousin, Barb. She had lived with our family, so your wedding was an especially happy day for us. I still remember the long drive and the ceremony. The night we received the call you missing, and the following days, were devasting to my family. I just wanted you to know you have always been remembered. Rest in Peace & God Bless

HOW NICE! THESE KILLERS HAVE BEEN SET FREE. WHEN WILL INSPECTOR NEWTON BE SET FREE TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY? THE ANSWER IS NEVER. ONE DAY WE WILL HAVE SENTENCING LAWS THAT FIT THE CRIME OF KILLING A POLICE OFFICER, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
UNTIL THEN, INSPECTOR NEWTON, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND. I SALUTE YOU! I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. A TRUE HERO INDEED.

I remember meeting Ted Newton at an agency picnic in Fallbrook, CA His family and mine sat together at the same table. My wife and I thought he was a very nice person. A short while later I assisted in the search for him and his partner Azrak, whom I never met. I now understand their killers have all been set free. This breaks my heart as I thought they had been sentenced to two consecutive life sentences without benefit of parole. I survived the Border Patrol for 27 years and have been retired for 17 years. May their souls rest in peace.
