The State - News from Jan. 25, 1989
The suspected killer of two brothers whose bodies were found in a Stanislaus County orchard has been arrested near Vancouver, B.C. A spokesman for the “America’s Most Wanted” TV series said the arrest of Rudy Blanusa, 35, son of the Tehama County sheriff, took place near Burnaby, B.C., as a result of tips received following Sunday’s profile on the program. The county district attorney’s office confirmed the arrest. Joseph Flores and his brother, Gilbert, were shot to death in February, 1986, because a friend of Blanusa believed they had burglarized his home, the series spokesman said.
