Man arrested after evading capture for 40 years

A 76-year-old man, Stephen Craig Campbell, was arrested in New Mexico after evading capture for over 40 years. He allegedly assumed the identity of a deceased classmate to avoid prosecution for a 1982 bombing that injured his estranged wife's boyfriend. Campbell was wanted for attempted first-degree murder after planting a bomb that exploded, causing injuries and property damage. He was released on bond in 1983 but failed to appear in court, leading to his placement on the U.S. Marshals' most-wanted list. His identity fraud was uncovered when he renewed his driver's license in 2019. During his arrest, Campbell was armed and had nearly 60 firearms at his property. He faces charges for misuse of a passport, with additional charges under review.
