CAPTURED: Accused murder suspect Matthew Dion arrested in Florida

MANCHESTER, NH –After 15 months on the run, Matthew Dion, one of the U.S. Marshals Top 15 Fugitives was arrested June 3 in Florida, authorities announced.

Dion, 39, was being sought on both state and federal warrants out of New Hampshire for the murder of his elderly parents, arson and possession of child pornography.

As a U.S. Marshals Top 15 Fugitive, Dion received extensive media attention.  It was due to a recent media campaign in Florida and Georgia that caused many tipsters to contact the U.S. Marshals.  Based on these tips, Dion was successfully captured Wednesday morning at a hotel in Orange Park, Florida.
