Her Father was eventually caught in the USA where he was staying with a group of chinese immigrants. They recognised Xue from a chinese language newspaper, lured him to a meeting, tied him up and called for the police.

According to the Dominion Post:
"New Zealand police had offered a US$10,000 (NZ$12,700) reward for his capture, but Mr Wu told The Dominion Post the group did not know of the reward when they caught Xue.
When they learned of the money, they discussed what to do.
All six have signed a contract to give the spoils of their heroism away - $2000 for an elderly friend unable to care for herself.
The other $8000 is destined for the small girl, who is now living in China with her grandmother.
Mr Wu, 46, works 13-hour days as a kitchenhand and sleeps in one of two beds crammed in the apartment's living room so he can send money to his family in China.
But he said though they all lived in crowded conditions, Xue's daughter needed the money more.
He denied the group were heroes, saying it is what anyone would do. "Good conquers evil.""
