Fugitives Flock to Las Vegas Only to End Up Behind Bars
Las Vegas draws fugitives seeking refuge from the law but police say the city is one of the worst places to hide. Authorities arrested Ohio highway sniper suspect Charles A. McCoy Jr at a budget hotel after a tip from a resident who saw him reading a newspaper about himself at the Stardust on the Strip. The piece notes historic fugitives who chose Vegas for concealment, including Richard F. D’Antonio, William Beith, Richard Hickock, Perry Smith, and Patty Hearst, illustrating the city’s paradoxical pull of bright lights and risk.
