Ronald Fischer, a fugitive wanted for sexual assault, eluded capture for 21 years by assuming multiple false identities as a biotech executive, doctor, and master sailor, until federal marshals finally tracked him down.
Ameen Hurst, an inmate who had been held on charges in four slayings, was recaptured by a task force led by federal marshals in Philadelphia after escaping from a Pennsylvania prison earlier this month. Hurst and Nasir Grant escaped from the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center on May 7 by cutting a hole in a fence surrounding a recreation yard. Three people, including a fellow inmate, have been charged with aiding the escape, and officials are trying to determine whether anyone else at the prison was involved.
