Michael Finkel

While Mary Jane's family was still reeling from the shock of the murders, Chris Longo was partying in paradise.

Tom Taft was on vacation when he met Longo.

While police were hunting him, Longo was beginning a new life as the globe-trotting journalist he had always wanted to be.

Little did Longo know that the real Michael Finkel would soon find him.

As a fugitive in Mexico, Chris Longo did more than just tell people he was reporter Mike Finkel.

Longo, as Finkel, told tourist Tom Taft that he was actually on assignment.

Like any professional print journalist, Mongo needed a photographer.

Fortunately for him, amateur photographer Yanita Franca was staying at the same Cancun youth hostel.

When you guys were here, what was he doing that was reporter-like?

And soon their professional relationship grew into something more.

And then it kind of took a little turn on the romantic side.

Yeah.

Tell me about that.

Prolicking in the surf and sun,

Mongo was oblivious to the fact that the FBI, tracing the purchases on the credit card number he'd stolen back in Oregon, was about to crash his Mexican fiesta.

A tour guide in the Cancun area had recognized Longo's face on this wanted poster.

The fugitive enjoyed his last moments of freedom smoking marijuana in this shack.

When police raided this campsite, Christian Longo's new life came to an abrupt end.

He was handcuffed and hauled off to be interrogated by the FBI.

For Longo, the party was over.
