Staff at the Yongshan County Public Security Bureau discovered the 63-year-old man after receiving a tip-off.
According to the department's account, published on, the fugitive was found in hiding in a micro-cave, where he had spent years cut off from human interaction.
And the tip-off turned out to be correct. Five hours of drone operation revealed a blue steel tile atop a steep cliff. Police also detected hints of human activity, including evidence of human garbage, outside the cave entrance. He has since been re-arrested for escaping prison camp in addition to the reasons for his jailing in the first place—the abduction and trafficking of women and children.
