[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] One of Oregon’s most wanted escaped fugitives has finally been caught after nearly 30 years on the run — and the way police found him is stomach-churning… Back in 1994, Steven Craig Johnson made an escape from the Mill Creek Correctional Facility, as reported by the Oregon Department of Corrections.

The then-40-year-old was serving a sentence for sexual abuse and attempted sodomy — crimes committed against a child.

The convicted pedophile is no longer a free man after authorities finally tracked him down across the country in Georgia. According to a statement from the US Marshals Service, on Tuesday the now-70-year-old criminal was found living in an apartment complex in Macon, and was promptly arrested after his true identity was confirmed.

How they found him, though? It all connected back to a case of identity theft. According to the USMS, back in 1995 — a year after his escape — Johnson obtained the birth certificate of a boy named William Cox who died in 1962.
