However, he escaped while in the infirmary at the Carroll County prison work camp southwest of Atlanta.
He was on the run for around 48 years.
The U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement that investigators discovered an address in Sherman, Conn., that was linked to an alias of Stackowitz
They acted on the information and took him into custody.
