However, the Police Department’s goal in producing a six-part podcast about the case wasn’t just to tell a riveting true-crime drama — it was to hunt down a millionaire fugitive....

The Chadwicks’ story has been widely picked up in British, Canadian and Asian-language media outlets, police said. Peter enjoyed traveling to Canada, police said, and Quee Choo was Malaysian-born.

The Police Department hopes its media blitz leads to a seventh podcast episode titled “Captured.”

“Peter is living in someone’s community right now,” Manzella said...."

Peter Chadwick case: Millionaire accused in wife’s death caught after 4 years on the run

Aug 06, 2019

"SANTA ANA, Calif. (CNS) - When Newport Beach police and the U.S. Marshal's Service offered a $100,000 reward last fall for the capture of millionaire fugitive Peter Chadwick, accompanied by a podcast about the alleged wife killer who vanished in January 2015, they received thousands of tips.

"We had leads that looked promising. However, there was only one that panned out," Newport Beach police Chief Jon Lewis said ...

Chadwick was found in Mexico, in a residential duplex in a community of American expatriates near Pueblo, when the tip was shared with local police, said David Singer, the U.S. Marshal for the Central District of California. He had "numerous" fake IDs on him when he was arrested, according to Singer.

Authorities said they could not reveal the tipster's identity at this time.

The reward announcement and podcast series released last September generated tips as intended while putting "more pressure" on Chadwick, who had left a trail of breadcrumbs indicating he fled to Canada to throw investigators off course, Singer said.

"They have to keep moving," he said of fugitives who feel the heat. "You're always looking over your shoulder and have to outdo who you think is following you and that's when you make mistakes."

Chadwick, 54, initially used a vast sum of money he took with him in his flight to stay at "high-end" resorts and hotels, according to Lewis. But at some point when hotel clerks began asking for passports and other identification, he had to adjust his living standards to more "modest" hostels and other inns, the chief said, adding that Chadwick used such aliases as Paul Cook, Paul Craig and John Franklin....

Singer alleged that Chadwick received some "assistance" from family members, and Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said the case was being reviewed to consider whether further charges are warranted or anyone could be charged with aiding and abetting the accused killer...."

Millionaire fugitive Peter Chadwick pretended to be a secret agent to avoid capture, officials say (with clip)

August 9, 2019

"In the days following the capture of millionaire fugitive Peter Chadwick, who spent more than four years on the run after he was charged with killing his wife, authorities are learning more about the California native's life on the lam – including the fact that he allegedly pretended to be a secret agent to avoid capture....

But before he was discovered, Chadwick tried to blend in with the locals at San Andrés Cholulua, according to U.S. Marshal Craig McCluskey.

"The make-up of the town was mostly Caucasians…but also an Asian community as well," McCluskey said.

It was a world away from the mansion in posh Newport, California, that he once shared with the woman police say he murdered: his wife, Q.C. Chadwick. He later fled, leaving behind his three sons. But while his hideout was a modest apartment next to a country club, McCluskey said that he didn't entirely leave the high life behind.

"[The club] had tennis courts… and of course, you know, Peter preferred playing tennis," McCluskey said.
"So he continued to play tennis?" asked "48 Hours" correspondent Tracy Smith.

"Yes," McCluskey responded.

Mexican federal police also recovered several fake IDs, one of which caught the attention of U.S. marshals.

"It was a copy of some fictional security force. And he was representing himself as some type of analyst with top secret access…" McCluskey said. "Maybe to get some unassuming local police officers off his back."..."
