Escaping Justice.com claims a collar

District Attorney Steve Cooley's website designed to put pressure on felons who flee to Mexico—and authorities who tolerate it— is getting credit for the arrest in Mazatlan of accused murderer Daniel Perez. Escaping Justice.com had made catching Perez a high priority. From the site:

PerezPerez allegedly fled to Mexico in 1999 while he was on trial for the attempted murder of his estranged wife, Anabella Vara. Hours after Anabella’s father, Carlos, testified against Perez, Carlos Vara was fatally shot in his Fontana home by a masked gunman. Perez, who had been out on $1 million bail during the trial, failed to appear in court the following day and was later convicted by a Los Angeles jury. He was sentenced to 33 years to life plus an additional life term in prison.

Here's the United States Marshals Service press release.
