Robert Johnson, Colorado Fugitive, Caught After 32 Years As Robert Fargo

Fugitive Caught After 32 Years As A Different Man

STERLING -- For 32 years, Colorado officials took few steps to capture convicted killer Robert Charles Johnson, who escaped the Cañon City prison in 1975.
They filed, but didn't pursue, an escape charge against him. He traveled across the country and spent decades working as a river-rafting guide. Even a 1990 California arrest wasn't enough to get Colorado prison officials or prosecutors interested in chasing him down.
