After hiding from Union City, Calif., police and the FBI for more than four years, a man suspected in a killing and kidnapping has been arrested in Los Angeles County after he called the pizza parlor where he worked before fleeing and asked for his last paycheck.

The 33-year-old suspect, Rafael Bravo Santana, gave an El Monte, Calif., address and phone number to a manager at Chuck E Cheese in Hayward, Calif. The manager promised to send the check and then phoned police, who arranged with the FBI to make a bogus "special delivery" to his home."They just pulled up in their van; he stepped up to the van; they said, `You're under arrest,' " said Union City police Sgt. Ron Packard. "It was pretty simple."

Santana's trail ran cold almost immediately after the June 7, 1989, slaying in Union City of Irineo Renteria, 34. Police said they thought Santana had fled to Mexico.

In the days following the killing, Renteria's friends and relatives gave a sketchy account of what they believed happened. They said Renteria had been trying to help Santana's girlfriend and daughter escape from him and return to Mexico.

Renteria reportedly helped the woman buy a plane ticket to Mexico. But she never boarded the plane. The following day, Renteria was shot in the chest and killed.

Santana fled, and according to police, took the woman and child with him. Both escaped two weeks later, but police had no signs of Santana.

Santana is being sought by two other law enforcement agencies. In Washington state, where he served time for statutory rape, Santana is wanted for allegedly breaking his parole.

San Jose police also have issued a warrant for Santana's arrest for failing to appear in court on a weapons charge.

Following his arrest, Santana was being held by authorities in El Monte. He is expected to be taken to Fremont this week and charged in connection with the slaying and kidnapping.
