AMW This Week

America's Most Wanted has captured 936 fugitives to date, with the help of viewers of the show, and readers of the website. We have the chance to increase the number of captures, and it simply takes a small amount of time on your part.

This week's episode will be covering a variety of cases, some of which I'm highlighting today.

Dublin, California…DR. TONY SHIU…Police say California doctor Tony Shiu not only drugged two patients, he also sodomized one of them. When cops went to his home to investigate, they found nearly 450 photos they think he'd taken of his patients -- unconscious and in various stages of undress.


Dr. David Cornbleet's family and friends have been actively working to provide as much known information about his killer as possible to the public. They've persued media attention t get the word out, and used the popular online community MySpace in order to further their search for justice by setting up a page geared at finding his killer. This week, they've teamed with AMW to bring the story to National levels, and hopefully find the answers they've been seeking:

Chicago, Illinois…UNKNOWN DR. CORNBLEET KILLER…Dr. David Cornbleet was a respected doctor and a loving father and husband. He was a kind-hearted and hardworking person. But for some unknown reason, his life was brutally ended on October 24, 2006.


CAUGHT Fontana, California…DANIEL PEREZ CAPTURE…After more than seven years on the run, authorities say an accused murderer is finally facing the music for his crimes. Mexican authorities picked up Daniel Perez in Mazatlan, Mexico after US justice officials received a tip about his hideout back in January of 2006. For the past year, Perez has been fighting extradition back to the US, but now the accused murderer is back in Southern California to stand trial.


This weeks show has a bonus feature, which I'm sure you'll enjoy:

Miss America 2007, Lauren Nelson has taken her crown where no crown has gone before- straight to the online pedophiles who would be preying on children. Together with AMW's Host John Walsh, Miss Nelson went undercover, pretending to be a underage girl online. Using photos of herself when she was younger, Miss Nelson waited for contact to be made by would be predators. When it came time for the accused to meet, they came face to face with Host John Walsh, and police officers.

In addition to following the action as Walsh and Nelson take part in the sting operation, the broadcast will include tips for parents on how to protect their kids online.


For more information, and behind the scenes details of the sting including video blogs from the producer and Miss Nelson, please visit the AMW website.

For these cases and others, be sure to tune in Saturday Night at 9:00pm on your local Fox Station.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

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...
