SEVERAL SUSPECTS WERE arrested after Denver's two daily newspapers published advertisements containing the pictures of 50 fugitives wanted by police.
Callers flooded a hotline with tips July 12 after the pictures appeared in the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News. By 5 p.m., authorities had arrested two fugitives, two more had turned themselves in, and police learned a fifth was behind bars, FBI spokesman Tom Kinestra said.
It was the second time the Metro Fugitive Task Force placed ads identifying fugitives. Kinestra said a campaign in March resulted in 25 arrests within a week. The papers donated the ad space to the task force.
