Jan. 14 — A man accused of killing his wife and three children last month and dumping their bodies into the Pacific was captured over the weekend in Mexico, the FBI has confirmed to NBC News.CHRISTIAN LONGO, WHO was put on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list last week, was arrested over the weekend in Mexico. The U.S. will now try to extradite him to face capital charges.
There was also a $50,000 reward for information leading to his arrest, said Charles Mathews, the FBI’s agent in charge in Oregon.
Longo is accused of killing his wife, MaryJane, 34, and children, Zachary, 4, Sadie Ann, 3, and Madison, 2. Their bodies were found in the coastal waters off Waldport and Newport between Dec. 19 and Dec. 27.
Longo was spotted in San Francisco on Dec. 23 and again on Dec. 26. He spent two nights in a city youth hostel.
Longo — who has a history of petty theft and debt — is believed to have purchased the plane ticket to Cancun using identification fraudulently obtained from an Oregon man, Mathews said.
ASSUMING AN IDENTITY
“He’s accomplished at changing his identity and assuming other people’s identity,” said Mathews at a news conference.
The Dodge Durango that Longo had been driving — which was stolen from an Oregon car lot — was found at San Francisco International Airport.
Longo, who owned a construction cleaning business in Michigan, is named in six lawsuits seeking more than $30,000 and is wanted on two warrants in Michigan for probation violation and a larceny charge. When the Longos moved west last year, they reportedly left behind $60,000 in debts.

If he did it, lethal injection is too good for this slime.
Fat chance.
Mexico is "compassionate," and won't extradite anyone facing the death penalty, even if they slay their own family.
What's the point? Does anyone here really kid themselves into thinking our friends south of the border respect our laws at all?
Should America Surrender?
But what a relief that this creep is in custody--he spent less than a week on the FBI's Most Wanted and was featured on America's Most Wanted last Saturday. It didn't take long for him to get nabbed.

Very true. My friend (Jan Castorena) was brutally murdered by her husband a few years back in Sacramento. The kids were in the house for 2 weeks before seeking help...out of fear of their father. The husband/butcherer was found in Mexico. Mexico refused to extradite him if the death penalty was sought. He's in a nut house after a guilty conviction.
At least he's not an abortionist!

Perhaps we'd have less domestic violence here if the minimum mandatory penalty for domestic violence was a year in a Mexican jail....no comforts of American jails, no probation, no community service, no half-way houses, just cold and harsh "Vaya con dios, senor"!
Naw, the heck with extradition.
Let him stay in his current jail. Maybe in ten or twenty years some charity might want to look him up and see what's left.
I'd rather let him rot in Mexico than me pay taxes to provide bed/board/appeals here. He chose to leave USA: good riddance!
Then time ain't so bad in Ol' Me-heco.
What a country ... soon to be homogenized into the USA, compliments of our Global-visionary leader, George Bush and his good Ivy League buddy, Presidente Coka Cola.
Well, what if we say we won't but then we do?
There has to be something we learned from the Clinton Administration that can benefit humanity.
After several months in a Mexican jail, Longo will be begging to return. Life in prison in Mexico sounds about right to me.
