Archuleta was accused in 1971 of shooting Denver police officer Daril Cinquanta, who had pulled over Archuleta to check his ID, KMGH-TV reported.

When Cinquanta tried to check for weapons, the two fought and Cinquanta was shot in the stomach, KMGH-TV said.

Cinquanta, who since retired and started his own private investigation company, never stopped making phone calls and knocking on doors in hopes of tracking down Archuleta, KUSA-TV reported.

His search paid off when a tipster called.

Cinquanta hopes to visit Archuleta when he is back in custody in Colorado.

“I would love to sit down and talk to him,” Cinquanta said. “He may or may not talk to me. Who knows?”

Revenge is a dish best served cold. So they say.

Then rub his nose in it.

Why not run south of the border for the'easy life'? Only in the movies.

Cinquanta means “fifty” in Italian. He was destined to be on the run for 50 years.

Michael Schneider, the FBI Special Agent in Denver, said the "arrest should send a clear signal to violent offenders everywhere: The FBI will find you, no matter how long it takes or how far you run, and we will bring you to justice.”

I read the article and when I hit this paragraph, I lol'ed. As the officer (who eventually retired to become a PI) searched for the perp for decades and it was a tipster that called the PI who finally pointed him out.

Hey Schneider,

Hint: Your 30-year search ends in Chappaqua, NY.

The police officer named Cinquanta caught him after 50 years, so you still got that right.

For his next fifty year run, maybe they can give him a two week head start, just to be sporting.

How much to keep up that hair color and whatever fakery?

Not knocking those who want to maintain a refreshing appearance as they age but come on, that face just doesn’t match.

That’s right up there with spending thousands to repaint a Yugo.

He’s 77. Now he gets three hots and a cot for life, plus health care. Y’all act like he’s gonna be the tar truck guy on a chain gang. He must feel like he won the lottery.

"...The FBI will find you, no matter how long it takes or how far you run, and we will bring you to justice.”

Translation:

The "law" has a blank checkbook - if you're a peasant.

If you're Hillary!, you can send the fibbies boxes of used toilet paper, and tell them to run their noses in it.
