Notorious 'bad breath rapist' captured in California after decades on the run

QUINCY, Mass. (WJAR) — The hunt is over for the so-called bad breath rapist who has been on the run for decades.

Massachusetts State Police confirmed Tuen K. Lee was taken into custody near Oakland, California Tuesday morning.

Lee took off during his trial in 2007, and was convicted of rape and kidnapping.

He was ultimately identified by DNA and his foul breath.

A $10,000 reward for his arrest was offered last year.

Police said Lee was living in a multi-million dollar home with a woman for the past 15 years. Investigators said the woman "never knew who he really was."

He's being flown back to Massachusetts.
