MADISONVILLE, Tenn. - Monday morning, an international manhunt was underway for a man who authorities said raped and beat an elderly east Tennessee woman.

Police said Francisco Barbosa-Sanchez attacked a 91-year-old Monroe County woman in March 2008.

Investigators said Barbosa-Sanchez is an illegal immigrant, and he may be on the run in his native country of Mexico.

DNA reportedly linked Barbosa-Sanchez to the crime.

Police said they are working with U.S. Marshals and Mexican authorities to hunt Barbosa-Sanchez down.
