For the past four years, 73-year-old fugitive Paul Clouston toiled away in relative anonymity in Merced, Calif., despite being featured several times on a nationally televised crime show.

The convicted cop killer and child molester was captured just as quietly. He was reading a newspaper at the men’s group home where he worked as a maintenance man in this community of some 80,000 in the central part of the state.

Clouston served time for both crimes, but he became a fugitive after being charged with failing to register as a sex offender and violating parole. In 2006, authorities raised his public profile by placing him on the U.S. Marshals Service’s 15 Most Wanted Fugitive List.

He was featured three times on the show “America’s Most Wanted” from 2006 to 2009. The program also continued to post his photo on its website for all to see.
