Turns out, the man isn’t hard to track down: A Texas Department of Criminal Justice record shows that Melton, now 59, is serving a life sentence for murder at the O.B. Ellis Unit prison north of Huntsville, Texas, and that he’s eligible for parole in 2033.

In December 2001, Herbert was charged with the shooting deaths of his wife, 37-year-old Louisiana Plumber Melton, and her new boyfriend, 40-year-old Phillip L. Brown, on the day before his and Plumber Melton’s divorce was to be finalized.

But it wasn’t until August 2003 that the authorities managed to arrest Melton, according to the Houston Chronicle. Melton had dropped 40 pounds, changed his name to Angel James, moved into an apartment, found a job working day labor, and gotten a girlfriend. Going on a Crime Stoppers tip, detectives with the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force watched Melton’s apartment and arrested Melton without incident early one morning after his co-workers picked him up for work.
