EUGENE, Ore. — One of the 15 most wanted fugitives in the United States is suspected to be hiding in Eugene, the U.S. Marshals Service said Friday.
Frederick Cecil McLean is a fugitive child molester who fled the San Diego area in 2004-05. The USMS said he molested dozens of children over a 20 year period while in California, using his position in the Jehovah’s witness Church to find victims.
Investigators found evidence that 54-year-old McLean may be hiding in the Eugene area. U.S. Marshal Service spokesperson Thomas Maranda added that he might be living under an assumed identity.
