AMW This Week

The following cases, along with others, will be featured on America's Most Wanted this week:

Nationwide…
INTERNET JOHN DOE #5…Disgusting images of this man molesting children were found on the Internet. Now, he'll face charges, as soon as police can determine his identity.


New York City, New York…
BABLU HASSAN…New York City Police say Bablu Hassan slashed a 5-year-old girl who was simply trying to protect her mother from his attack. Now authorities fear he may be long gone -- maybe even as far as Southeast Asia.

Montgomery, Alabama…
LINE OF DUTY – KEITH HOUTS…Montgomery, Alabama police officer Keith Houts was shot several times in the head and chest during a routine traffic stop. When he wasn’t protecting the streets, Officer Houts enjoyed spending time with his wife. They met while serving in the Army Reserves in Kuwait. They were hoping to start a family soon.

Queens, New York…
UNKNOWN USHA TANEJA KILLER…Usha Taneja couldn't hold in her excitement as her family began arriving in town. It was a day she had been looking forward to for years -- her son's wedding. But on the eve of the wedding Usha went out to buy groceries and never returned. She was found murdered on the sidewalk just blocks from her home and her killer remains a mystery. Police need a tip to crack this mystery.

Hayward, California…
GREISY VALENCIA…Greisy Valencia has been eluding authorities since 2002 when her then 11-year-old daughter was discovered by cops wandering the streets -- a victim of extreme abuse. Cops desperately want to get this mother in custody and are seeking any clues about her whereabouts.

AMW was also primed to cover the abduction of Kelsey Ann Smith (family's site), the 18 year old Kansas girl who was abducted from a Target parking lot. Although given the recent developments (police say they found her body earlier today), I expect a change in the program to focus on helping track down her killer. AMW has updated it's page on her case, and you may want to check it often to follow any updates that may develop between now and the show air time.

America's Most Wanted can be seen on your local Fox station, at 9pm on Saturday nights. For more information about the cases featured here, and other cases AMW has covered, please visit their website- AMW.com

Verifiable or provable by means of observation or experiment: empirical laws. 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...
