What's on AMW this week

This week the team at America's Most Wanted is covering the following cases:

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania…
ALEXIS FLORES…It was a nightmare come to life for a tight-knit Philadelphia, Pennsylvania neighborhood. A 5-year-old girl, Ariana DeJesus, was found sexually assaulted and strangled to death in an empty apartment complex near her house on August 3, 2000. Ariana had gone missing a few days before she was found, and the community was outraged by her horrifying murder. For years, the case went unsolved, until March 2007, when the FBI in Philadelphia got the break they were looking for -- a DNA match from a convicted criminal in another state.


Manhattan, New York…
UNKNOWN MIDTOWN JANE DOE KILLER…When an old Manhattan apartment building once known as a magnet for pimps and prostitutes went under construction, workers dug up something horrifying -- a young woman's skeleton. Now, detectives are piecing together clues, hoping to find out who the woman was, whether or not she was sucked into the notorious lifestyle of the apartment building's residents -- and who killed her.

Toledo, Ohio…
DAVID SKELLY…Cops say the sexual abuse of an 11-year-old girl was going on for almost eight months before anybody figured out what was happening. Now, a dangerous fugitive has disappeared.

Hyattsville, Maryland…
PEDRO REYES…Pedro Montiel Reyes was living with his girlfriend for several months in her Hyattsville, Maryland apartment, when cops say he became irrationally jealous. After accusing her of cheating in March 2005, cops say Reyes took his rage to a whole new level -- and now he's at the center of a murder investigation.


Walton, Kentucky…
LONNIE CRABTREE…Lonnie Ted Crabtree had what many people would consider a nice life. But apparently he wasn't satisfied with his life, and went looking for a little something extra on the Internet. Unfortunately for him, he got a big surprise when he was done surfing the web.


These are just a few of the cases that will be airing this week, for information on some of the other cases, or to view more information, please see the AMW.com website. AMW airs on Saturday nights, at 9pm on your local Fox Station.

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...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

Jamie Rose Bolin

Jamie Bolin was last seen alive on Wednesday, while at the local library... and although she was reported missing when she failed to return home, no Amber Alert was issued until Thursday night. I understand the need to maintain certain criteria should be met when issuing an Amber Alert... I realise the importance of attempting to ensure that the public doesn't become conditioned to the alerts and slowly begin to ignore them... and yet, something in me is completely bothered that a 10 year old can go missing without people being informed of it. The police believe, according to a statement released that even if an Amber Alert had been released- we'd still be faced with the same horrible end to this story... but how can they know that? What is the possibility that someone may have seen even the smallest piece of evidence and called LE? Can we really accept that there was nothing that could have saved this child? Now, I don't mean to criticize anyone, I really don't. I ju...
