When asked what would happen next, Haas said Luster apparently has no legal standing to be in Mexico.
Luster, 39, great-grandson of makeup legend Max Factor, disappeared in January during a recess in his trial. He was convicted and sentenced in absentia to 124 years in prison for multiple counts of rape, poisoning and drug possession involving three women.
Authorities said Luster, who lived off a trust fund and real estate investments, took three women to his home between 1996 and 2000 and raped them after giving them the so-called date-rape drug GHB.
A search of his home after his arrest in 2000 turned up videotapes of Luster having sex with women who appeared to be either asleep or unconscious. In one tape played in court after he disappeared, Luster is seen on camera having sex with a woman and declaring: "That's exactly what I like in my room: A passed-out beautiful girl."
His attorneys said the sex was consensual, suggesting the women were feigning sleep to help him film pornographic movies. They also disputed that Luster was a fugitive and suggest he could have been abducted or involved in an accident.
Luster's attorney Roger Diamond said early Wednesday that he did not know of Luster's whereabouts and had not heard of an arrest.
Just last week, a California appellate court turned aside the appeal of Luster's conviction, saying he had forfeited his right to appeal by jumping bail. The California Supreme Court is expected to be asked to review the decision.
