GUILTY CA - Quee Chadwick, 46, found deceased, Newport Beach, 9 Oct 2012 *husband arrested in 2019*

Peter Chadwick’s life on the run
After being charged for his wife's murder, Peter Chadwick went missing in January 2015. Investigators now know that he was hiding out in Mexico. After Chadwick’s capture, Newport Beach Police Chief Jon Lewis spoke about what Chadwick had been doing for all those years on the run.
 
U.S. Marshal Craig McCluskey told "48 Hours" that a previous edition of the broadcast – which aired in May – focused on the case caused Chadwick to alter his life while on the run and ultimately helped lead to his capture.

"He said when he saw that episode, he realized his situation had escalated a lot," McCluskey told correspondent Tracy Smith. "Because he didn't realize the U.S. Marshals were after him at that point."

How was Chadwick able to elude those trying to find him for so long? And what happens next?

After nearly five years on the run, the international manhunt for Peter Chadwick -- accused of killing his wife Q.C. -- ended on August 4.

"48 Hours" had the only news crew on scene when Peter Chadwick, who disappeared in 2015 after he was charged with killing his wife, landed in Los Angeles. CBS NEWS
CHIEF JON LEWIS | NEWPORT BEACH POLICE [to reporters]: We're pleased to announce that Peter Gregory Chadwick was located in Mexico on Sunday night … With the help and cooperation of the United States Marshal's Office and authorities in Mexico, he was flown to Los Angeles International Airport where our detectives took custody of him.

How did it come to this? It's a twisted tale that began on a picture-perfect autumn day in October 2012, in a posh neighborhood in Newport Beach, California.

The couple had been living the good life, enjoying the trappings of wealth and raising three sons. Their oldest was away at boarding school and when his two younger brothers returned home on Oct. 10, the family's world turned upside down.

Tracy Smith: So, these boys got out of school and what happened?

Sgt. Ryan Peters | Newport Beach Police Dept.: They get out of school and a bus drops 'em off at a bus stop near their house.

Sergeant Ryan Peters remembers that day.

I don't know if they've changed their website or I'm having brain-freeze, but I can't access the hearing list anymore, just very, very basic details for the case. I've searched the court calendar too and there's nothing from today till 21 March (maximum range I could search).

Nothing in MSM either.

Sorry.

No need to say you're sorry! :)
Did you try going into the site from your link on your post #52? Sometimes that works for me when my bookmarks don't work. Just asking! :D
