Where in the world is Archbishop Anthony Apuron? “Fairfield, California,” said Attorney David Lujan.

Cozied in a two-story home in the West Coast, you wouldn’t recognize Apuron at first glance. Here he is answering the door for investigators who faked a story about a missing dog. This picture was captured in mid-January, in a home Lujan believes belongs to Apuron’s best friend, who he identifies as Joseph Quitugua.

“Well, let me ask you this…is it flight or hiding out, isn’t that a sign of guilt? That’s what I think you know,” he said.

Now that Apuron has been located, Lujan suspects the people of Guam and Apuron’s victims have been duped into believing there’s a canonical trial ongoing in Rome. Lujan represents all 15 victims who have surfaced to date, many of whom have accused Apuron of child molestation decades ago.

“Because we found him in California, we do not believe there is any such thing as canonical trial going on in Rome,” said Lujan. “In order for there to be a canonical trial, in my opinion, regarding Apuron, it has to do with the accusations against Apuron. And the only people who have accused Apuron are the people that I represent and none of them has testified in any proceedings.”
