What's on AMW

America's Most Wanted has always done an excellent job informing the public about some of our worst wanted criminals. And, I've always liked the show for that- and I've always found myself interested in the cases they carry. This week however, I'll be even more interested... because one of the many cases they are covering has a few connections to my hometown.

A year and a half ago I brought you the case of Alfredo Lopez-Cruz, an illegal alien who was residing in Hamilton Ohio. Police say that he lured a 9 year old neighbor into him home and raped her. The girl was able to escape when this scum bag fell asleep. Lopez-Cruz evaded police, fleeing the area. The home he attacked the girl in was later burned down, by angered people.

This predators story should have ended in Hamilton, but because he was able to escape capture, he actually showed up Lima. As if we need another demented child raping piece of trash in my town. Sadly, he evaded police here too... and is still roaming free. Police believe he is still in Ohio, where he has many contacts.

This week, AMW will be airing this case again, and personally- I'm hoping this is their next captured mark on their wall. To read more on this, visit AMW's write up on it. And be sure to watch this weekend's episode.

Other cases that will be featured on AMW this week:

Boston, Massachusetts…ARNOLD GABIDDON...In Boston, cops say Arnold Gabiddon brutally attacked a woman, stabbing her several times before cutting her throat. She barely survived. He has a scar on his forehead and may still be in Massachusetts.

Southern, California…RICK MCLEAN…Cops say that for years, Frederick "Rick" McLean, used his position in the Jehovah's Witnesses to hide a lengthy history of child molestation. Authorities tell AMW that when one family finally went to the police, McLean made a fast get-away with a small fortune of cash that he secretly had stashed away. Now, McLean's been added to the US Marshal's '15 Most Wanted List' and investigators hope that he'll soon be behind bars.

Silver City, New Mexico…UNKNOWN TIM EDWARDS KILLER… Just one visit to Montana Del Oso Ranch in New Mexico and Tim Edwards knew he had found a place to retire. Captivated by the scenery and sunsets, Tim and his wife Lynn moved to the ranch from Arizona. But the mountain paradise was hiding a deadly secret that the Edwards would soon discover – leaving Tim dead and cops looking for answers.

For more information on these cases, and others- be sure to tune into Fox's America's Most Wanted this Saturday at 9:00pm or stop by their website at AMW.com

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

$167.90

He received $167.90 to serve on the jury. It couldn't have been an easy case to listen to. Hearing of how a 13 year old was raped by a 38 year old man who had befriended the family, it'd be enough to make most people turn in repulsion. But the juror did what he was suppose to, and long with the 11 other people who sat by his side- he found the defendant guilty. Believing that the child, who had come from a broken home- a mother battling drugs and a father who wasn't there- deserved justice, the 12 people performed their moral, ethical and judicial duty and sentenced Gregory Bryant to 30 years in prison. One would think that Bruse Funkhouser had earned that $167.90. Perhaps it would cover a small portion of the income that he lost while serving his duty to the courts. Perhaps it would just give him a little extra change in his pocket. So, you might wonder what would cause Funkhouser to return the check to the court house... Members of a Pawnee County jury are upset a judge g...
