Chapter 18 third chapter

Immediately after the escape of Renatus Craddock we were informed.Based on the guard's report and the fact that no blood was found at the scene, we believe that the bullets did not hit Renates at the time.As a result, the Albuquerque police and we dispatched again to launch a large-scale tracking operation in coordination. At that time, we carried out a large-scale search, using police dogs to search around, and dispatched helicopters. In addition, we searched from house to house.A lot of police are hunting him around.A helicopter circled along the grid track over the place where Renatus escaped, and launched a systematic search.Renatus is clearly a dangerous man.We know that cornered fugitives often jump the wall.So we must find the fugitive as soon as possible, lest he hurt the innocent.Time passed little by little, and the fugitive was never seen.We had to expand our search.Investigators from six law enforcement agencies managed to cordon off the area.We set up roadblocks and searched street by street and house to house.You know, those criminals who escaped from prison are very perverted, it can even be said that they have a morbid psychology, some of them want to take revenge on this society, and even become more arrogant.Therefore, before many criminals are released from prison, the police will seek a psychiatrist for diagnosis, and they will not be released from prison until their psychology returns to normal.And these escaped criminals have not received psychological treatment, and generally speaking, they will become more murderous.

Renatus Craddock was nowhere to be found.Soon, though, we'll see why.A local woman called police to report that her car had been robbed.The woman claimed that an hour earlier, someone matching Renatus Craddock's appearance forced her into a car, ordered her to drive him to the outskirts of the city, and then let her come back in good health.She told us when and where Renatus Craddock carjacked and described how he was dressed.We started a concentrated search, but found nothing.Several hours had passed by this time, and Renatus Craddock might have escaped hundreds of kilometers.We were lucky that the woman who was robbed was not harmed in any way, and it seems that Renatus has kept up his fine tradition of not hurting anyone except lip service.

We didn't know where he was going that night, so we shifted our focus from manhunts to investigations.We started talking to his family and his cronies, trying to figure out where he might end up.There's no way Renatus could disappear into thin air without help.We put pressure on the fugitive's cronies, but they were very domineering. "FBI agent, we need your cooperation!" We tracked down some of his friends and told them. "I don't know anything!" one of them yelled when he saw us.Then he stood aside and looked at us coldly. I could see a kind of disdain in his eyes. He should know the whereabouts of Renatus.

"Don't touch me with your fingers!" shouted another.He shook off one of my co-workers with all his strength and looked like a clean freak! "Hey guys, I hope you'll cooperate with us!" I tried again, but I was very unhappy.I hate these little hooligans, they are so self righteous and they are ruining society, I want them all to be thrown in jail. "No! I don't know what you're talking about, we don't know Renatus!" They stood together and refused. "You are lying! This is very bad!" I knew that I was already angry at that time, and my tone of voice was very strong.

"Hey! Dude, see? The officer is angry, he seems to be threatening us!" One of the punks said disapprovingly, and even whistled. "Yes, I heard that, I think we should get a lawyer to talk to them, these nasty guys!" echoed another punk. "I'm sure you'll be able to get your own lawyers soon!" I remember being so pissed at the time, I stepped forward and pulled a gangster.He tried his best to get rid of it, and I entangled with him a little bit, and pulled his hand to my waist.And he tried his best to pull it back, and at this moment, my gun fell to the ground.

The notorious Bruton gang doesn't want to hand over their own men, and his cronies refuse to cooperate with us.We thought of a way, although this way is very bad. "You contradicted the law enforcement officers!" I looked teasingly at Renatus' friend in front of me, looked at the gun that fell on the ground, and continued, "And you are trying to take my gun!" "No! I didn't contradict you!" He hurriedly explained, "I didn't grab your gun!" "No! You contradicted me!" I said sternly, then pointed at my colleagues around me, and continued, "And they all saw the fact that you robbed us, we have the right to shoot you!"

"You are framing me! I want to see a lawyer!" the man shouted hastily.He knew immediately that I was framing him and forcing him to reveal the whereabouts of Renatus. "Come back with us and talk about it!" I put handcuffs on him, then threw him into the car, looked at him and said, "Boy, you'd better cooperate with us, or I will make you regret it!" Unfortunately, however, we have not heard anything from this person.As a warning to others, I took the man I framed to court and the court gave him 6 months in prison.Also because of this incident, those associates of Renatus were very afraid of seeing me, but they still gritted their teeth and were unwilling to betray their companions.

"The bastards!" I yelled angrily, but there was nothing I could do. Because of Renatus' extreme violence, U.S. law enforcement put him on the 15 most wanted list.Renatus has been changing places since he escaped, apparently not wanting to fall into the hands of the police again.I guess he would have done anything to escape.In this way, he becomes a very dangerous figure. For several days we were monitoring the strongholds of Bruton's gang that we had in our hands.We continued to talk to passers-by on the street while observing the suspicious behavior of the gang members.In addition, we and the police are closely watching the recent bank robberies to see if Renatus will commit another crime.But the robbers were surprisingly quiet.He has not been seen for more than a week.

We do know, though, that Renatus had a deep drug addiction.It won't be long before he needs the cash to buy more meth.This drug can make addicts feel good about themselves, produce hallucinations, and show strong aggression.We think Renatus, desperate for money, will be robbing another bank soon, which will help the local police track him down.But under the dominance of drugs, it's hard to say what Renatus will do next. We feel that people like him should go back to prison.But some investigators suspect Renatus has fled the country.Albuquerque Police Department Deputy Captain Terry Ward said: "He has connections with Mexico. He will probably flee to Mexico and hide. I don't think he will stay in the city. Everyone here is very nervous." Familiar with his name and appearance!"

We soon found out where he was though, and 4 months after he fled, he finally reappeared. On January 16, 2001, after one year and five months of stopping, Renatus broke into his familiar place again and resumed his old business. "Hi!" Renates appeared in front of a bank teller. "Hello! Sir, what business do you want to handle?" The bank teller said with a smile. "Do you know who I am?" Renatus looked very proud. "Sir?" The bank teller shook her head. In her opinion, Renatus' behavior was extremely abnormal. "Oh! No! Miss, I am 'Grand Thief Robin Hood'." Renates said intoxicated. "Please give me the money at the counter, I need to help those children!" Renates said while handing a note and a backpack to the bank teller.

The note said: "I am 'Robin Hood', I have a gun, please give me the money!" These words were cut out of the newspaper, and no handwriting was left. The bank teller could only obey his orders and pack a backpack of money for him.Renates picked up the backpack, checked the money inside, found no paint bombs, and smiled, "The children of Mexico will thank you!" After he left the bank, the bank teller called to report the incident. We rushed to the scene of the accident immediately, but what we never expected was that while we were still understanding the situation on the scene, he broke into another bank.And after he left, we arrived next.To our desperation, he robbed six banks in Albuquerque in one day. A week later, he robbed three more banks in two days.Renatus is a very brazen robber.He actually ran to the bank where he had robbed once to rob money.He doesn't seem to care whether all the bank staff already recognize him, and every time he has to boast that he is the "Grand Thief Robin Hood" who steals from the rich and gives to the poor.It's just that, as usual, every time the police and the FBI can't find evidence, there are no clues that can lead them to this elusive robber.We have to admire Renatus' mental quality is quite good, and we know that a large part of it is supported by drugs. The more he robs, the smoother he is, and he is getting better and better at playing around with the police.We can only follow him and keep looking for him, and he keeps robbing, but in the process of robbing, he never left any clear evidence.With each additional robbery, the legend of the escaped convict became more legendary.The task force's pursuit of Renatus Craddock is the largest in Albuquerque in recent years.His photos and pictures appeared in the local evening paper almost every day, and people who saw him often called the police to assist the police in their pursuit.We've had a lot of calls like that from people saying they saw him nearby.Despite our relentless pursuit, Renatus' whereabouts remain uncertain.We suspect that his associates in the Bruton gang are secretly protecting him.All members of this dangerous gang are vicious criminals with a network of cover fugitives and counter-detection. The Albuquerque Investigative Team is on the lookout for the bank robber Renatus Craddock who has escaped from jail and is robbing another bank.A task force from the Albuquerque Police Department, our FBI, and U.S. law enforcement came together to hunt down Renatus Craddock.We integrated human resources to prevent the three departments from looking for the same person separately.In the face of such a massive manhunt, Renatus Craddock continued to rob in Albuquerque. This made us very difficult, the local newspaper even turned his affairs into entertainment, and the bank clerks seemed to be used to this guy.Because every time he went to rob, he would tell everyone that he was "Robin Hood the Grand Theft".What's even more frightening is that some women even fall in love with it.We're having such a headache now that even one casino has a handicap to bet on, it's almost an Albuquerque entertainment.I really can't believe it, but it happened.It's a kind of gray humor, and it's their way of forcing us to solve the case as quickly as possible.This also puts us under a lot of pressure. He escaped every time he succeeded.So as long as he is outside for a day, he will continue to grab it.That's why we joined forces to catch him.He must be stopped.He's not going to stop himself, he's going to stay here and keep messing with us.With permission, we tapped the phones at the homes of several of Renatus' relatives.From intercepted conversations, it appeared the fugitive had fled the Mexican border.The FBI notified border patrols and contacted the Mexican federal government, asking them to keep an eye on Renates.Agents then monitored the phone and learned that Renatus had returned to Albuquerque. "I can't die here!" This is what we get from the monitor phone, but the voice is so muffled that we can't tell where he is hiding.We continue to put pressure on Bruton's gang to make it clear that as long as Renatus isn't caught, they can't hope for a better life.The trick paid off. On the morning of February 5, 2001, someone left a letter on the local radio station.The signature on this letter is Renatus Craddock.Lauter, the morning anchor of Albuquerque's 94 Music Channel, discovered the letter. The atmosphere was tense.Lauter said everyone was excited when they got the letter.Carefully picked it up to look at it, then exclaimed, Oh, it's from Renatus Craddock.He said it was okay to surrender, but he had several conditions.He wants to meet the public.But he wanted Radio 94 to interview him.He wanted Low to interview him on the morning show. He said that several law enforcement officers treated him badly and wanted to kill him, and he wanted to tell them all.If Lautken complied, he surrendered.Kraut and his colleagues didn't know if it was him who wrote the letter, maybe it was a prank.It's not a good thing to say.So Laut took the letter and walked to the broadcasting station and said, "Well, we just received a letter from someone. If the person who wrote the letter is really the person we are looking for, I hope you can call us, and I will I want to ask you a few questions." Then the phone rang. "Can you hear me?" Renates' voice came from over there. "Yes, I can hear it." Lauter felt very excited, knowing that Renatus has now become a celebrity in Albuquerque.Although he robbed banks continuously, he never hurt anyone's life, which made them not afraid of him at all, and even felt that this person was very interesting. "I'm Robin Hood the Robin Hood. What's the matter? What do you want to ask?" Renatus felt like a big shot. "Well, listen to me. It's like this..." "You want to play me?" Renatus interrupted before Lauter could finish speaking. "No, no." Lauter hurriedly explained. "That's good... I guess you don't dare." Renatus looked very proud. He didn't seem to care whether we would track him down. In fact, we didn't know the situation here at the time. "No, I want to do what you said..." Lauter said. "If you want me to broadcast for you..." Lauter wanted to continue the conversation. "I heard the helicopter. Is it the FBI?" He sounded annoyed and nervous.You know, a lot of fugitives are like that, all day in fear, always asking, "Are the police here?" "No, it's not." Lauter hurriedly explained, "It's the sound of the helicopter." "It's so hot in here. I can't even..." He began to complain that the police were going to murder him, adding, "The FBI and the cops are all lying, lying. I can't fucking stand it. These guys come up Shot my pregnant wife in my house." "How can we contact you?" Laut asked tentatively. "Enough, boy! I've got plenty of machine guns, lots of weapons. I've got everything ready. Just wait and see." The fugitive suddenly lost his patience.Apparently, the fugitive was preparing for another shootout with the police. The radio station immediately notified the local police.I think the reason why Renatus contacted the radio station was to promote himself.He seemed to have a desire for publicity, and he wanted everyone to know about his escape.No matter how much attention he drew, it was to the police's advantage.If he stays underground, we won't hear from them any more, and it'll be harder to catch him.But as soon as he does something, like robbing a bank or grandstanding, we have a clue to hunt him down.It will be his ego that ultimately brings the fugitive to justice.We've got solid leads and physical evidence.Technicians found Renatus Craddock's fingerprints on the letter, confirming that the letter was from him.Investigators reviewed surveillance footage from the radio station. Now we can confirm that the person who sent the letter was not Renatus Craddock, we know what Renatus Craddock looks like.But we can clearly see the person who sent the letter from the video tape, and this person is the key to solving the case.We searched for the man right away, and a detective recognized him as a man who sometimes attended Bruton gang rallies.His name was Bloomhilda Rowley. The idea was that we could stalk this man and find Renatus Craddock through him.Albuquerque's gang-fighting task force installed surveillance cameras in Bronhilda Raleigh's RV.Once they saw a resemblance to Renatus, but it was too dark for us to be sure.It seems that we can only touch the inside of the RV. We followed through with the Albuquerque police and conducted surveillance on an RV.We think fugitive Renatus Craddock is hiding inside.At the same time we learned that one of Renatus' associates had been arrested for carjacking violations of state law. "How about we make a deal?" It's wrong to do this, but it's necessary because they won't help you unless you've done them a favor.Obviously we have to distinguish which will be heavier.We used our harsh federal trial statutes to put pressure on this man to agree to cooperate with the police.We told him it would be easy if we were to sue him under federal law.But in that case, he received a much heavier punishment.We threatened him with this, and it was easy to convince him to cooperate with us. At first, the man was afraid of reprisals from the gang and refused to accept the conditions of the police.But under federal law, the man has no right to parole and must serve years in prison.Investigators offered that as long as he cooperated, he could be dealt with under state law and granted conditional parole.Ultimately, the fear of prison life convinced him to agree to act as a police informant.The police plan now was to put a listening device on him and get him into the RV to see if Renatus was there.You go in and sit down, don't think about the bug. "We will give you time to adapt, but if you betray us and let us catch you again, we will make you regret it!" I told him that sometimes you have to be more rascal than him, so that he can obey Your words.This is a dangerous deal.If the gang realized he was cooperating with the police, they would probably have killed him on the spot. We heard from the bugs that the informant was trying to convince the people inside him.The atmosphere was tense, and there was no doubt that something had happened.The informant asked about Renatus, but those inside said he wasn't there.The atmosphere was tense to an almost suffocating level.Now, it's time for the informant to come out.The informant returned to the police station and reported the situation to investigators. "You said there was a sound in the back room?" I asked. "Yes. It seems to be his girlfriend." The informant told us that he couldn't hear clearly, it was probably a woman's voice, and he suspected it should be his girlfriend. "But you didn't see it?" "I can't get in, I can't find a suitable excuse! What are you going to do?" the informant explained. We were convinced that Renatus was hiding in the RV and persuaded the informant to go again. "You still have that thing with you," I told him. "I can't trust you guys. Do you know that it will be very dangerous if I do this? No!" The informant refused. It was obvious that he was a little guilty. The rules in the gang made him afraid, and he wanted to reject us. "You go one more time," I tell you. "You have to go one more time. If you don't go, we'll sue you." "You don't have any idea. You're playing rogues, I've been there! Dude! You can't do this!" He looked very agitated, trying desperately to turn us down. "Do you have to know? If you don't go, our direct transaction will be over." "All right. I'll go. You rascals!" "Let's go." I ignored his words. "Let's go." He was obviously a little listless, and he thought about how to do it after thinking about it. "Okay." After seeing the informant enter the room, I ordered, "Attention all groups." We and the plainclothes police were on standby, ready to rush into the house if the situation changed. "Hi! Renatus, are you here, can you use the bathroom? Come out soon." We heard their conversation through the bug.At this point, we also hear that he met Renatus. "Attention all units, the fugitive is inside." I immediately issued an order, and all the people were in place immediately. "Turn around!" From what Renatus said, he sounded very careful. "Hi, hi, Renatus, it's me." The informant explained hastily. "Turn around!" Renatus said involuntarily, "raise your hands higher!" "There may be trouble." I said to myself outside, considering whether I should rush in. "Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi!" the informant pretended to be a little angry. "What's wrong with you?" Renatus seemed to wake up suddenly, saw that it was his accomplice, and said reassuringly.We don't know what's going on inside.But we know it was just a false alarm.In the end everyone was quiet and no one was hurt. "I'm sorry." Renatus seemed to be apologizing to the informant. "Excuse me. I want to sit down for a while. Can I sit on the sofa?" From the voice, the informant was also very nervous. "Ah, sit down. I'm so sorry." Renatus said again. "It's okay. Oh, I'll go and talk to my group. I'll be back in a while, okay? I hope you're okay." The informant asked for his opinion. "No problem!" Renatus agreed to his request.He came out, waved, and told us that Renatus Craddock was indeed in the house.The informant told us that Renatus was severely paranoid and neurotic.Most career criminals are paranoid.They hardly believed anyone, and were always on tenterhooks.They were restless all the time, always thinking that the police were coming to catch him.Their paranoia may also sometimes be caused by drug use.Members of the Albuquerque Police Department's specially trained arrest team arrived immediately.While we hope to end this hunt as peacefully as possible, we still want to be on the safe side. Detectives from Albuquerque's Gangster Task Force and Procedural Crime Squad are quietly operating as we rush to restrain Renatus Craddock before this dangerous fugitive commits another crime.However, Renatus still refused to let it go.Renatus starts the car and he's ready to get away! "Stop him!" We decided to stop him by force.The surrounding police cars opened fire, but Renatus was unmoved, and he drove the car towards me.As I was trying to dodge, a police car pulled out from the side and rammed into the car that Renatus was driving. "Don't move! Lie on the ground! Lie on the ground! Stay still!" I immediately rushed over with a gun.I saw Renatus lying motionless on the ground with a Turk-9 semi-automatic pistol next to him.Renatus was shot in the chest but survived. Then we arrested his accomplice, Bloomhilda Rowley, who had not reacted to the sudden turn of events.Detectives then began looking for where the bullet had gone.Several bullets penetrated a nearby trailer, with occupants still sleeping.But everyone is safe and sound.We all have a sense of relief.The police mobilized the public and searched for him for so long, but it finally came to a satisfactory end.The good guys are not hurt, the bad guys are.He deserved it. Renatus finally revealed his truth.He's not a grand rogue at all, that's the nickname we gave him until he believed it himself.He is actually a fugitive who committed all kinds of crimes. Renates was subsequently charged with multiple charges, including escape, robbery and murder with a firearm.The federal trial added 40 years to his original 40-year sentence.However, he has fully recovered from the gunshot wound he suffered while resisting arrest.We did some background research during the investigation, so I had a chance to see some of his letters.He's a very smart guy.He could have been a very successful man and had a decent living.However, by coincidence, he wanted to rob the bank. He did it smoothly at first, but his greed and arrogance finally brought him into the law.
