He eluded authorities for more than a quarter of a century until he was finally brought to justice after murdering British schoolgirl Caroline Dickinson in a French youth hostel. Francisco Arce Montes was a twisted, rejected loner with an addiction to murder. Only when he was finally caught, for the murder of Caroline, did the authorities uncover his trail of victims from Europe to South America. It is now believed that Montes was responsible for more than two dozen killings - his victims were always female and the attacks were all sexually motivated.
