A man wanted for more than two decades in the kidnapping and torture of two young women in Oregon was arrested Monday in Mexico, authorities said.
Paul Erven Jackson, 45, had been at large since 1991. Mexican immigration authorities, working with the U.S. Marshals Service, arrested Jackson at a hotel in Guadalajara, The Oregonian reported.
Jackson apparently had been living in Mexico for several years under the name Paul Bennett Hamilton, U.S. Marshals spokesman Eric Wahlstrom said. The arrest took place when authorities received a tip after CNN aired an episode of The Hunt with John Walsh in July that featured Jackson's case.
"It's what started this," Wahlstrom told CNN. "It was a specific tip that came in right after (the episode) aired that led authorities to him in Guadalajara."
