That was until Keeler says Cleary sent Facebook messages to her admitting guilt. Police then reopened the case and put out an arrest warrant. Cleary is a Saratoga native and Santa Clara University alum who had been on the run since those messages were made public three years ago. "I think the strength of that social media statement is going to carry the day to bring Mr. Cleary back to the United States and have him set for trial," said legal analyst Steven Clark.
Keeler told AP that after the incident, the then district attorney said it was difficult to bring cases when alcohol is involved. Clark though, says that is no longer how things are done.
