American Fugitive Found in Canada After 20 Years on the Run
Louis Flood disappeared after being released on parole in 2001 for sex offenses with minors.
Louis Edward Flood was discovered living in British Columbia, Canada, after twenty years on the run for criminal sex offenses with minors. Flood, now seventy-seven, disappeared from Idaho when he was released on parole in 2001 after serving three of his eighteen-year sentence.
Flood had been featured on the television show “America’s Most Wanted” in 2011 in hopes that the public would be able to help get him back in custody. It was in July of 2022 that a tip came into the RCMP in Creston, BC, that reported Flood in the area.
The RCMP contacted the US Marshal Service, Idaho State Corrections, and the Idaho State Police, and a coordinated effort was made to arrest Flood. He was arrested on July 21 and extradited back to the US on July 25, where he will serve the remainder of his thirteen-year sentence.
No word yet on if he committed any further attacks while on the run or how he remained undetected in Canada for so long.
