NJ Fugitive Featured in Our Most Wanted Series Captured

Several months ago, we featured Oderi Caldwell as part of our Most Wanted Fugitive series.

Oderi has been missing since 2019 when he escaped from Hope Hall, a corrections facility in Camden.

Caldwell, who had been serving time for Robbery, Aggravated Assault, and endangering an injured victim, was considered very dangerous.

On Wednesday, the US Marshall's Service with the help of the Mason Police Department and Warren County, Ohio Sheriff's Office, descended on an area known as Spanish Bay, in Ohio, and nabbed the fugitive.

The announcement was made by the US Marshall's Office,

“The United States Marshals Service is committed to making our community safer by locating violent offenders and those who escape incarceration. In this case, the NY/NJ Task Force coordinated this arrest with our team here in Southern Ohio and our task force partners at the Mason Police Department and Warren County Sheriff’s Office. Combining our resources and sharing information led to the safe arrest of this violent escapee.”

Caldwell is said to have been taken without incident, and is currently housed at the Warren County Jail and awaits extradition back to New Jersey.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of any of the fugitives featured in our series, authorities remind you to never approach the subjects yourself.

They ask that you call 9-1-1 and they remind you that all tips are completely confidential.
