FBI agents arrested Spiller, 67, in California after a person who knew his whereabouts read a Tribune story about the unresolved case and contacted Chicago police and the FBI.
Spiller's story is in many ways emblematic of the criminal justice breakdowns highlighted by the Tribune's 2011 "Fugitives from justice" series, which documented how thousands of suspects have crossed a U.S. border to evade trial on murder, rape and other felony charges.
A witness at Spiller's recent trial recounted watching him shoot Roberto "Bobby" Castillo with a .45-caliber pistol outside Marie's Golden Cue at 3241 W. Montrose Ave., then pump three more bullets into Castillo's body as he lay on the ground.
Spiller surrendered to Chicago detectives but fled the city after posting a low bond. Three years later he was found in the Philippines, but an extradition effort stalled in that country. The manhunt drifted for years despite clues that suggested he had returned to the U.S. and had ties to a property in Hemet, Calif.
