A man wanted on child abduction and rape charges from 1999 was arrested in Salem, Oregon Friday. Police say he was using the identity of a boy who died in a crash in Fayette County back in 1975.
Charley Hollin was wanted for crimes in Seymour, Indiana. Police say that he abducted a 10-year-old girl, threatened her with a knife and sexually assaulted her.
Before going on the run in 1999, police say that Hollin stole the identity of Andrew Hall, an eight-year-old Florida boy who was killed in a DUI crash along with his two siblings on I-64 in Fayette County back in 1975.
The people who lived near Hollin in Salem, Oregon say that he went by the name Andy.

They are shocked to hear that the man they thought was Andy was actually a wanted man.
One neighbor described him as very nice.
“Very nice, and especially with my husband, he just always stood with him, they just talked about every day things, you know,” the neighbor described.
There was a break in the case when Hollin applied for a US Passport as Andrew Hall. Passport photos are put into facial recognition technology.
Federal agents say that Hollin acted ‘defeated’ when he was arrested at the Salem Wal-Mart where he worked. They say he identified himself immediately and told them who he really was.
Hollin is in the custody of the US Marshal Service in Portland, Oregon.
In the coming weeks, he will be brought back to Indiana to face charges.
