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.

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

Mom Arrested After Baby Found Mauled By Dogs

This is a story that I really don't want to share, it angers me all the while breaking my heart at how someone could be so cold and callous. My only comment is that there is always a better way. Some may of thought of going to the hospital, others may have thought about calling someone- anyone for help. But the complete disregard this person showed is horrifing. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy. The mother told investigators that the baby was still-born at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother. Dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?" Caller: "My kids were just outside, telling me that the dog was ch...
