Nabbed! Escaped killer hid in caves for 16 years
Portuguese shepherd was jailed following deadly argument over goats
LISBON, Portugal - A fugitive murderer spent 16 years hiding in caves around his home village in northern Portugal before he was recaptured looking "like Robinson Crusoe," police said Thursday.
Manuel Cruz, 54, had a deep tan and a long beard when he was arrested in the forested hills where he once had been a shepherd, Inspector Carlos Gomes told The Associated Press.
"He wasn't very strong but he wasn't in very bad shape," said Gomes, who arrested Cruz along with 11 other officers in what police dubbed "Operation Cro-Magnon" Wednesday. (AP)
