US 'kidnapper' arrested in Mexico after 24 years on run

MEXICO: -- A man wanted on suspicion of kidnapping and torturing two women in Oregon has been arrested in Mexico after more than 24 years on the run.

Paul Erven Jackson, 45, was arrested by Mexican immigration authorities at a hotel in Guadalajara, where he had been living and working under a new name.

After featuring on CNN's The Hunt, a viewer provided a tip-off to police which led to his arrest.

He and his brother kidnapped and abused two prostitutes, police say.

Mr Jackson and his older brother, Vance Roberts, were arrested in 1990, but a year later disappeared after they were bailed out of prison by their mother.
