Updates from America's Most Wanted

Those of you who have been following the case of missing 4 year old Madeleine McCann of Britian, will be interested in the following press release from AMW:


Father of Missing British Girl Comes to U.S.


The father of British 4-year-old Madeleine McCann, who disappeared in May while her family was on vacation in Portugal, has come to the U.S. to meet with American officials and child safety experts, as he seeks help in the search for his daughter. On Monday, July 23, Gerry McCann toured the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and then met with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. And, as part of his quest to spread the word about his missing child, McCann also met with producers from FOX’s America's Most Wanted.

AMW video of McCann’s visit to NCMEC and the Justice Department can be viewed online at the America’s Most Wanted website, www.amw.com. The website also contains portions of his interview with AMW, which airs Saturday, July 27 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. In it, he describes how his family is “constantly living between despair and hope” and is determined to find Madeleine and bring her home. As the McCanns began to take action, he said, “the more we did, the more we felt better about having an influence on the outcome.”

AMW host John Walsh and his wife, Revé, founded the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children after their 6-year-old son, Adam, was abducted and murdered in 1981.

America’s Most Wanted: America Fights Back airs Saturday nights at 9 ET/PT, 9 CT on FOX.

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...
