He's been steadily working his way up

the FBI's 10 most wanted for years now.

Honestly, I think they were trying to catch him, but we have only 700k law enforcement officers nationwide, and they have to cover 372million people, and 3.5 million square miles. Lots of places to hide.

Rudolph, the bomber, hid out 10 miles from his home, and it took years to find him, too.

Simple truth is that our country is sooooo big, people have many places to hide, even moreso if they are taken in and given assistance in doing the same. The history of bounty hunting illustrates this quite clearly...Early law enforcement realized that they were powerless to bring everyone in, and so the bail bondsman/bounty hunting tradition was started.

Now, this guy can get put away, and that will solve the immediate problem, but there will be more like him. The tighter we squeeze folks of exclusionist nature the more secluded they become, and the more of a danger they become as well.
