Fugitive convicted of attempted murder in US caught in Mexico after 32 years
Greg Lawson disappeared in 1991 during his trial for murder of Seth Garlington in Bienville parish, Louisiana
For more than 30 years, Greg Lawson had been eluding authorities after shooting another man and being convicted of attempted murder. So he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly as an official handcuffed him to bring him to jail after his capture in southern Mexico this week, according to authorities.
The FBI on Thursday published video on X, the social media platform, showing the final moments of Lawson’s unusually long run from the law. Lawson chuckled as a law enforcement officer waiting for him to step off at an airport gate put handcuffs on his wrist.
