American Fugitive in Mexico, Jon Savarino Schillaci
One morning a few years ago, hubby and I were having breakfast in Rosarito and he was grousing about the troubles he was having with the computer
network in the house.
The owner of the restaurant overheard him and she said, "Oh, I know a nice, polite young man and he is a wizard with computers."
We met with him (he was using the name Cody Keegan then) and hired him to set up and run our network and he was excellent and did a good job.
A few months later, one of his neighbors saw the TV show, "America's Most Wanted" when it ran a story about his fugitive status and recognized him.
The neighbor confronted him - he packed up and fled to Mexico City.
The neighbor contacted the show and the show contacted the FBI and the FBI contacted us and came to visit at our home in Baja. (BTW. FBI agents have
to check their guns at the border and they were not happy about that.)
We gave them everything we had in our files on him and they thanked us and drove away.
Sometime later, hubby was driving north across the border and the border agent ran his passport through the reader, looked at him funny and promptly
ran him into secondary, where he was detained without explanation for over four hours until another set of FBI agents arrived.
What they wanted was to make sure he would come to FBI offices on Aero Dr. in San Diego after the special agent in charge of Schillaci's case arrived
from the east coast - they wanted to an in-depth interviiew with hubby.
He said, "No problem." and set a day and time for the interview.
I went with him and they split us up into separate rooms.
I brought with me and handed over printouts of Schillaci's on-line participation in chat rooms, some computer geek stuff and some from porn chat
rooms.
The agents looked at the printouts and then at me and said, "How did you get this?"
I said, "Since I knew we were coming here and because I knew his screen names from some records he left behind in our office, I searched him down."
A few weeks later, they apprehended him.

Usually don't read long posts but this kept my interest . . .

Says he fled Rosarito in 2000. The Americas Most Wanted Profile was in 2007 while he was on the mainland ( Guadalajara, Jalisco). Or did he come
back to Baja for a while and no one knew it.

Rosarito is a riff-raff magnet for it's proximity to the border.

What a story! You harbored a criminal and lived to tell about it. Sounds like YOU would have made a good FBI agent.

She would have to take her truckload of guns and ammo back to the border and check them. She probably wouldn't want to do that.

The Original Crime Was Consual Sexual
He was a teenager exploring, but the kid he was playing around with was the teenage male child of a Texas judge who ratted him out.
The judge sentenced him to adult prison - he went in confused and came out as a very damaged human being.
I am not apologizing for him, but from what I know of what he did, he tried to make his life right and he had a girlfriend in Rosarito to whom he
proudly introduced us.

It looks as though this guy was a full blown pedophile who raped countless children. He professed to being an advocate of adult/child sexual
relationships.
Had your neighbor simply called the FBI rather than confronting this piece of crap many more innocent children would have been spared the horror of
being sexually abused!

I guess I am old-fashioned. I demand that an adult who sexually attacks a child should suffer a fate of "invasive surgery" plus prison time, plus a
registration stigma. This is a mental aberration that cannot be "cured".
And no I am not talking about penalizing statutory rape which is bad enough as it is.
The monster than preyed upon that little girl in Petaluma is growing fat in his cell in San Quentin twenty years after his ultimate crime.
In Mexico a child rapist does not do so well in prison. Usually last less than a month.
