Irene Garza's family said they are overwhelmed with the news of John Feit's arrest last week in connection with the rape and murder of their 25-year-old cousin in 1960.

Garza's first cousin, Lynda de la Vina, broke the family's silence Sunday with their first official statement. Below is the statement in it's entirety:

STATEMENT OF IRENE GARZA FAMILY

Statement by Dr. Lynda Y. de la Vina, first cousin of Irene Garza on behalf of the Garza and Cisneros Families (Josie Cavazos, sister; and Nick and Ciro Cavazos, nephews; John de la Vina, first cousin; and the Cisneros first cousins):

“We were overwhelmed with the news of John Feit’s arrest and we continue to stand united after 56 years in the pursuit of justice for Irene. Proverbs 25:2 (King James Bible) says It is the Glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. In other words, nothing can be hidden from God, but it is the honour of rulers, to bring to light hidden works of darkness. We express our deep appreciation to the McAllen Police Department, The Texas Rangers, and the District Attorney’s office for their focused and relentless pursuit of justice for Irene.”
