Marshals Capture Sex Offender On The Run For Years

November 29, 2012

The U.S. Marshals have captured a sex offender on the run from Santa Rosa County for more than five years.

Randolph Carroll Flinn, 50, was arrested in Galveston, Texas, after Marshals learning he was hiding out with an elderly woman and using the alias Ray Dyer.

“He was featured as a most wanted fugitive on our Task Force website,” stated Inspector Dominic Guadagnoli of the Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force. “We recently began coordinating with AMW (America’s Most Wanted) to profile Flinn on their program, said Guadagnoli.

Flinn was wanted by Santa Rosa on two warrants, one charging him with a probation violation in March of 2006 and the other for failure to register as a sex offender that was issued in October of 2006.

The original charge stemmed from a 2003 conviction of lewd and lascivious acts with a minor that reportedly began in 1992 and continued up until the time the warrant was issued.

When officers contacted the victim and made her aware of the arrest, she said she “…is happy and can finally rest at night,” now that he is in custody.

The Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office first requested the Task Force’s help in locating Flinn in 2007 and have been working with them following leads since then. Flinn is being held without bond in the Galveston County Jail.

    That is my biological dad and I haven’t seen him since I was either 3 or 4 and just recently got in contact with him im currently 19. He honestly sounds like he has gotten the help he needs. Yes I understand what he did was wrong but how much do you honestly know about it.

    He needs to be shot for what he has put this poor child thru. He wont ever change and people like that shouldnt be out in public to do those things again. I have been put n that situtation and im a woman now and it happened when I was only 3yrs old and I still have to deal with to this day. And the man that done qhat he done is walking the streets today. Yeah he may have served his 15yrs or so but I have to live with it for the rest of my life. Hope the judge gives him what he deserves.
