A former South Carolina police officer, Dan Hiers, has been returned to the United States from China after more than 20 years on the run. He is accused of murdering his wife and faces separate child sex charges, bringing a long-running fugitive case back before the courts.

The case was featured on “America’s Most Wanted”, and US Marshals were involved in his return. The article says Hiers disappeared for over two decades after the alleged killing, though the provided text does not include further details of the allegations or the legal proceedings ahead.
