Police: Past convictions didn't stop suspect - MassLive.com: "Robert Gordon Kurtz, convicted previously of counterfeiting, possessing stolen artwork and dealing cocaine, had carved out a quiet life on the lam in Berkshire County, according to law enforcement officials.
Investigators say he adopted the identity of a dead man, but it is unclear how or when.
'That's the million-dollar question,' said U.S. Marshal David Milne, a member of a fugitive task force which arrested Kurtz, 66, on a the rooftop of his Hinsdale home on Tuesday morning.
Kurtz has been charged with attempted murder in connection with a 2000 shooting in Paterson, N.J., according to investigators, and had been living as Christopher Cirone, a man who was found dead in his car, with a gash in his head, in 1988 in Jersey City, N.J.
Edward DeFazio, Hudson County, N.J., prosecutor, said Kurtz was serving the second of a six-year prison sentence he netted for drug trafficking and receiving stolen artwork when Cirone's body turned up."
