Social Security Helps Bring Fugitive To Justice

From the Contra Costa Times:

Pacifica police Capt. Fernando Realyvasquez got a letter in 2007 he had waited 14 years to receive.

It was from the Social Security Administration and said the agency had located a man named Dedy Idris, who was wanted for allegedly molesting several young girls in Pacifica.

Today, nearly three years after that envelope landed on Realyvasquez's desk, Idris, 65, is slated to be sentenced in San Mateo County Superior Court on 10 counts of child molestation. ...

Idris had applied for benefits, and a routine check had turned up the 14-year-old arrest warrant.
