Daril Cinquanta, a retired Denver police officer, never forgot the man who shot him while he was on duty in 1971. So when the man, Luis Archuleta, escaped from prison in 1974, Mr. Cinquanta made it his mission to track him down. He spent years calling contacts hoping to develop leads on Mr. Archuleta’s whereabouts. In the 1980s, information led him to believe that Mr. Archuleta was in San Jose, Calif., but it was a dead end. The caller believed that the fugitive who shot Mr. Cinquanta was going by that name, and provided an address in Española, N.M., about 25 miles north of Santa Fe.
