Convicted murderer caught 41 YEARS after escaping New Jersey prison, hijacking plane for $1m and fleeing U.S.
Hugely interesting story follows at Daily Mail link above (with video).A convicted killer who escaped a New Jersey prison in 1970 and hijacked a U.S. airliner two years later while dressed as a priest has been captured in Portugal after more than 40 years as a fugitive, authorities said Tuesday.
George Wright was arrested Monday by Portuguese authorities in a town near Lisbon at the request of the U.S. government, the head of the FBI's New Jersey office said.
