One of Rhode Island's most-wanted fugitives was arrested in New York last week, ending a manhunt that lasted more than 20 years. According to reports, the fugitive spent at least a portion of those two decades hiding in plain sight as a biotechnology executive.
The arrest came to light following a Securities and Exchange Commission filing made Monday by Immix Biopharma, a California-based company. Additional details regarding the fugitive's true identity and the specifics of the apprehension were outlined in reports by Stat News.
Authorities have not yet released the full scope of the fugitive's decades-long evasion tactics or the original charges stemming from Rhode Island. The case highlights an unusual instance of a long-term fugitive integrating into the corporate and biotechnology sectors while avoiding law enforcement.
