- Ronald Fischer, a former anesthesiologist and one of Rhode Island's most-wanted fugitives, was arrested in New York after over 20 years on the run.
- He had been hiding under the alias Richard Graydon, working as a biotech executive at Immix Biopharma, until his termination was disclosed in an SEC filing.
- Fischer fled during his 2005 trial for first-degree sexual assault, accused of raping a woman on his yacht; he was convicted in absentia.
- He had a prior 1994 conviction for assault and battery related to another yacht rape, which led to the revocation of his medical licenses.
- Fischer sent his lawyer a farewell email before disappearing, stating he chose to leave the U.S. to avoid a potential harsh sentence.
