Coming up on AMW

Every week, I have the pleasure of presenting you with a preview of some of the case that America's Most Wanted will be profiling, and this week is sure to be a show you'll want to catch.

To see more on the cases, click on the links provided, or tune in on Saturday Night, at 9pm on your local Fox station.

Canton, Ohio…
JESSIE MARIE DAVIS UPDATE…The search for a missing pregnant woman in Ohio has come to a tragic end. Police found the body of Jessie Marie Davis in a national park last Saturday. Bobby Cutts, the father of Jessie’s two-year-old son and believed to be the father of her unborn child, has been charged with two counts of murder, and Myisha Ferrell, an acquaintance of Cutts’, has been charged with obstruction of justice. Cutts’ next court hearing is scheduled for July 2nd.


Manhattan, New York and Miami Beach, Florida…
UNKNOWN NEW YORK AND FLORIDA SERIAL RAPIST… Police are searching for a man wanted in connection with four attacks spanning from New York to Florida. One of the victims was a homeless woman in New York City who AMW viewers opened their hearts to after the story first aired.



Santa Rosa County, Florida…
JOSEPH CHRISTIAN FONTANA…Joseph Fontana seemed like a wonderful guy to a woman he met at church. But cops say the man who went by his middle name, Christian, was full of evil. Now, the hunt is on for a registered sex offender who has dozens of new charges filed against him.


Fort Lauderdale, Florida…
STEPHA HENRY MISSING…Twenty-two-year-old Stepha Henry is not the type to just run off. She's a recent college grad from New York who was getting ready to apply to law school -- when she went missing while on vacation in Florida.


Joseph Fontana:
Cops say Joseph Fontana seemed like a good guy. But upon moving to Fort Walton Beach, Florida—his true identity was revealed. Fontana allegedly made a new friend with her two young sons. What his new friend didn’t know is that Fontana was sexually molesting the boys for years.


And because every once in a while we need to take a moment to step away from the gore of the crime stories, here are a few cases that should be uplifting:

Vicki Ragins Hero:
In December of 2004, Shahidah Harley, her five children, and her sister Sheba were headed home to Atlanta after Thanksgiving. Shahidah lost control of her car and swerved into a water-filled canal. At the same time, 57-year-old Vicki Ragins was on her way to her son’s for breakfast. She saw Shahidah sitting on the side of the road in shock that while most of her family escaped the canal, her 13-month-old was still trapped in the car. Vicki’s terrified of water, but that didn’t stop her from diving in and saving the child’s life.


Lyle Baade:
In September of 1993, 59-year-old heart patient Lyle Baade got a new lease on life. A tragic twist of fate gave him the transplant he needed to survive—Lyle received the heart of a 16-year-old murder victim by the name of Benny Zweigle. Seven years later, alive and well in Arizona, Baade was attending a homeowner’s meeting. Suddenly, a disgruntled neighbor by the name of Richard Glassel burst into the room--opening fire on the homeowner’s committee. Witnesses say Baade sprang into action. It was almost as if Benny, the 16-year-old heart donor was acting from beyond the grave.

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.

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...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
