Patrick McDermott, 48, disappeared five years ago during a night fishing trip in California, having broken up with the Australian singer and actress after a nine-year relationship.
He was initially believed to have fallen overboard but his body was never recovered.
In January last year, investigators said he was alive and well, and living off the coast of Mexico.
The detectives claimed they trapped him after he regularly logged on to a website they set up to track his whereabouts.
While indicating that Mr McDermott is still in the Mexico area, the detectives claimed to have suspended their search after making a deal with their quarry.
Philip Klein, a Texas-based private investigator leading the hunt, said they had "concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr McDermott is alive".
