Immigrant Is Mystery Figure In Calif. Governor's Race
LOS ANGELES (AP) — She is the mystery in the middle of the California governor's race.
Three days after Republican Meg Whitman's former maid accused her of knowing for years she was an illegal immigrant from Mexico, almost nothing is known about her.
Nicky Diaz Santillan -- a 39-year-old mother of three -- hasn't spoken a word in public since. She's left behind a trail of questions about her story and how she ended up as the client of a high-powered Los Angeles lawyer with Democratic ties.
Diaz Santillan hasn't answered a single question from reporters. No one answered the door Wednesday at an address listed for Diaz Santillan in a San Francisco suburb, and a phone number listed for the family has been disconnected.
Whitman denies the allegation.
