The investigation and apprehension that ensue become one of the most famed manhunts in Miami�s history. Now, in the A&E special presentation, MIAMI MANHUNT, premiering Thursday, December 28, 2006 at 10 PM, the hunt, capture, and trial of notorious serial rapist Reynaldo Rapalo � with some surprising twists and turns along the way � are all caught on film in real-time as the case unfolds.
