A fugitive doctor evaded capture for decades. Then one mistake brought everything crashing down. - The Boston Globe
Ronald Fischer spent 21 years on the run for sexual assault, living under false identities as a biotech executive, doctor, and master sailor — until federal marshals tracked him down.

Fischer would be on the run for the next two decades.
Investigators never stopped looking for him. Fischer’s ex-wife told them he may have been chartering a boat, he was an experienced sailor and had friends in ports all over. He could be almost anywhere in the world.
But when Fischer, now 70, was found last month, he was not a castaway in a foreign land. He had been hiding in plain sight, conjuring a new life more accomplished than the one he’d left behind.
He had managed to get himself hired as a top executive at a publicly traded biotechnology company, under the assumed name of Richard Graydon, touting himself as a board-certified hematologist-oncologist with a PhD from Stanford.
