Episode Details

Seventy-year-old Ronald Fischer, a master yachtsman and world traveler with seventeen aliases, was finally caught off the coast of New Jersey after evading justice for nearly two decades. Convicted in absentia in 2005 for a sexual assault on his yacht, Fischer fled during trial, emailing his lawyer he’d “enjoy life in another country.” He lived freely on the water until the US Marshals Service tracked him down on his sailboat — he surrendered without a fight. Now facing federal and state charges for fleeing court, Fischer’s arrest proves accountability never expires, as officials hope it brings closure to the victim and all affected by his crimes.
