A fugitive wanted for attempted murder of his estranged wife over 40 years ago was captured after using a dead man's identity for decades. Stephen Craig Campbell, 76, was arrested in New Mexico last week during an armed standoff with police. Campbell evaded authorities by assuming the identity of a deceased man and fraudulently claimed social security benefits. He was charged with attempted murder in 1982 for planting an explosive booby trap, and now faces fraud charges and extradition to Wyoming. Campbell's capture marks the end of a decades-long search by law enforcement.
