  • Story Text: Argentine police captured one of the United States' 15 Most Wanted Fugitives, a Hell's Angel motorcyclist wanted on murder charges, on Thursday (February 3).
    Thirty-nine-year-old Paul Merle Eischeid is a former Charles Schwab stockbroker and is wanted for the 2001 murder of a woman in Arizona. The Hells Angels member is also accused of drug trafficking.
    Cynthia Garcia was attacked and severely beaten while attending a party at the Hells Angels clubhouse. She was thrown in the trunk of a car, taken to the desert, where she was stabbed and left for dead.
    Eischeid was indicted on drug trafficking, kidnapping, and murder charges, along with several other Hells Angels members.
    He was arrested in 2003, and due to his career background and a relatively clean criminal record, he was released on his own recognizance and put on house arrest.
    But Eischeid removed his monitoring device and fled Arizona. In 2007, U.S. Marshals added him to the 15 Most Wanted List.
