A man wanted for more than two decades in the kidnapping, torture and rape of a woman who now lives in Hayden, Idaho, was arrested Monday in Mexico. 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. Jackson apparently had been living in Mexico for several years under the name Paul Bennett Hamilton, U.S. Marshals spokesman Eric Wahlstrom said. Authorities were tipped off about his location after CNN aired an episode of “The Hunt with John Walsh” in July that featured the case. Michaelle Dierich of Hayden is one of two women Jackson is accused of abducting/ Scott Maben, SR. More here.
