WASHINGTON - A man accused of killing his wife and three children last month and dumping their bodies into the Pacific Ocean was apprehended in Mexico by the FBI, the agency said Monday.<br>
<br>
"I can confirm" that authorities have Christian Longo in custody, spokesman Bill Carter said.<br>
<br>
The bureau had placed Longo on its "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list on Friday.<br>
<br>
It said at the time that Longo should be considered "armed, extremely dangerous and an escape risk."<br>
<br>
Longo was captured sometime over the weekend in the outskirts of Cancun, Mexico, a law enforcement official said Monday.<br>
<br>
This official, discussing the apprehension only on grounds of anonymity, said the apprehension was to be announced later Monday by officials in the FBI's Portland, Ore., field office.<br>
<br>
Jim Baker of Traverse City, Mich., father of Longo's wife, Mary Jane, said police notified family members early Monday that Longo had been caught but provided no details. He described his reaction as "a sigh of relief."<br>
<br>
Baker said the delay in catching Longo had not burdened him greatly, but had been difficult for his other children.<br>
<br>
"I was so busy taking care of things about my daughter that I'd pretty much blocked out thinking about him ... but my kids wanted him caught. They wanted him to pay for what he did to our family," Baker said. "I knew they'd get him eventually. I feel very good about it." <br>
