More than 20 years after he was charged with murdering University of Texas student Laurie Stout in 1983, Robert Francis Van Wisse surrendered to officials at the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday.
Wise was added to the FBI’s Most Wanted list in December.
“If he committed a brutal murder like this in 1983, he is very, very able to commit a murder again,” FBI Special Agent Christopher Combs said when the agency put him on the list last month, with a $100,000 reward, UPI reports.
Stout was a 22-year-old mother and late-night janitor who was sexually assaulted and then killed in a men’s restroom at an office building in Austin.
Van Wisse wasn’t charged until 1996 because of “outdated methods of DNA analysis and mismanaged records.”
Van Wisse is in custody at the Travis County Jail in Texas.
