A man suspected of faking his death in a fishing accident 15 years ago to avoid a trial on child sex-abuse charges has been arrested, the Oregon State Police said Friday.
Daniel Clement Chafe, 55, was taken into custody Wednesday in Bozeman, Mont., where he had been living under a different name, Lt. Gregg Hastings said.
Back in 1990s, Chafe was known in Roseburg, Ore., as Stryder Styafyr. The FBI said the married man was recruiting girls between of the ages of 14 and 16 to form what he dubbed the "Cobalt Clan."
"His reported goal was to have sex with these young girls in order to produce a large number of children over which he could rule," according to the FBI's most wanted poster.
Police arrested him on charges of rape, sodomy and sex abuse of two teenage girls, and said they had identified other victims.
Chafe moved to New Mexico during the investigation and worked as a computer technician. On Sept. 13, 1998 _ 10 days before his scheduled trial in Roseburg _ a friend with whom he had gone fishing in Washington state told authorities that Chafe fell overboard and was missing.
