A Tijuana judge ruled that Bette Louise Winks must stand trial for allegedly attempting to buy a 14-month-old Mexican girl and take her to the United States. Winks, 49, and co-defendant Ivonne Lopez, 31, were ordered held without bail by Judge Alejandro Vazquez Rivera. Winks was arrested Jan. 24 along with Lopez by Mexican authorities, who claim that Lopez, a Mexican citizen living in Los Angeles County, conspired with Bette Winks to take the girl from the 31-year-old Tijuana woman and turn her over to Winks for $3,000.
