Digital footprints lead cops to Arizona fugitive in Canada.
This Thursday, Jan. 30, 2020 jail booking photo released by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office shows Adan Perez Huerta, 32, who was arrested in Toronto and returned to Arizona where he was booked into jail in Phoenix. Huerta, who pleaded guilty in 2003 to murder before fleeing Arizona to avoid being sentenced, has been arrested in Canada 16 years later after police followed digital footprints provided by social media posts of his family and friends, authorities said.
The fugitive, 32-year-old Adan Perez Huerta, was arrested in Toronto and returned to Arizona, where he was booked into a jail Thursday. The case stemmed from the 2002 death of a 19-year-old woman who was his passenger in a vehicle driven by Huerta. She was fatally injured when the vehicle struck an electrical box and caught fire in a Phoenix suburb.
A Chandler detective last spring began searching for Huerta by checking social media posts of his relatives and associates, and those eventually led to posts by Huerta himself, said Sgt. Jason McClimans, a department spokesman.
