Paul Jackson, who
had been using the name Paul Bennett Hamilton, was arrested in
Guadalajara, Mexico, while on his way to work at an electronics
store, the news network said, citing the U.S. Marshals Service
Oregon Fugitive Task Force.
Jackson and his half-brother, Vance Roberts, were indicted in
Oregon in 1990 on charges stemming from the rape, kidnapping and
torture of two women near Portland.
They jumped bail and disappeared.
Roberts eventually turned himself in, the network said on its
website and in an episode of "The Hunt" that aired in July. He
was convicted and sentenced to 108 years in prison.
But he never gave any information about where his brother was
hiding, the network said, citing police.
On Monday, about two months after the program aired on CNN, U.S.
Marshals Service Oregon Fugitive Task Force member Deputy Eric
Wahlstrom told the network that Jackson had been arrested.
"It was a specific tip that came in right after (the episode)
aired that led authorities to him in Guadalajara," Wahlstrom
told the network.
