Fugitive Arrested

A convicted murderer was arrested yesterday in Manchester and a missing 15-year-old from Massachusetts was safely recovered.

40 year old Christopher Rodriguez faces multiple charges including kidnapping a juvenile and endangering the welfare of a child.

According to officials, Rodriguez was arrested Thursday afternoon on Route 28 near Wellington Road.

The teenager is from North Andover, Massachusetts.

Officials say Rodriguez lured the teen as part of the kidnapping.

He was sentenced to prison in 2000 and was released in July 2017.
