A convicted killer who escaped from a prison camp has been arrested in Florida after more than 50 years on the run.
Frank Freshwaters, 79, escaped in 1959 and was briefly held by West Virginia authorities in 1975 before he was freed and disappeared again.
He had been living under an assumed name in Florida for at least 20 years.
Brevard County officials said they created a ruse to get Freshwaters to sign papers to check his fingerprints.
After a week of surveillance, US marshals and Florida confronted him with an old booking photo as he left his trailer home in rural Melbourne, Florida, asking whether he had seen the man.
"They showed him the pic, and he said he hadn't seen that guy in a long time," Major Tod Goodyear of the Brevard County Sheriff's office said.
