This week on AMW

Still on hiatus, but I did want to share highlights from this weekends upcoming America's Most Wanted with you all.

Anthony Artrip: Shortly after eluding police in Asheville, N.C., cops say that escaped fugitive Anthony Artrip robbed a bank in Mt. Airy. According to authorities, Artrip passed a note claiming he had a gun and emptied the teller tills. Now, U.S. Marshals have added Artrip to their 15 Most Wanted list, and they are more determined than ever to get their hands on him. Tune in this week to help us track him down.http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=46301


Anibal Mustelier: Agents believe Mustelier may have returned to Florida to retrieve $5 million worth of jewelry stashed away after the bank robbery at a SunTrust Bank five years ago. On the show this weekend, we’ll give you the details on where he might be now. Tune in, and help us nab him.http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=25376


Whitey Bulger: The FBI has just released a possible photograph and new video of Whitey Bulger and his girlfriend Catherine Greig. The picture and short video were taken in Taormina, Sicily, Italy on April 10, 2007. Now, authorities are asking for your help to identify the couple shown and to determine whether or not the man and woman pictured are in fact the fugitive mobster and his girlfriend. On AMW.com, we have the video; check it out and help us close the case.http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=23567


Madeleine McCann: Although Kate and Gerry McCann were able to return to Britain with their twin children, they have officially been named suspects in the disappearance of their daughter. In a press conference, Gerry stated, "Portuguese law prohibits us from commenting further on the police investigation," but also added that they were returning to Britain with "the full agreement of the Portuguese authorities and police." The investigation into Madeleine's disappearance is ongoing. This weekend we’ll have an update.http://www.amw.com/missing_children/brief.cfm?id=45127


William Greer:
When America's Most Wanted aired William Greer's story on July 14, tips flowed in like the Mississippi River. Tip after tip said the fugitive was in New Orleans, so cops drove to the French Quarter -- along with the AMW team. We’ve been on his tail since then, hopefully Saturday night his run will come to an end.http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=43686


Kenneth Freeman: One of AMW's most infamous bad guys, Ken Freeman, has agreed to be extradited back to the United States. Final approval for the extradition still needs to be granted by officials in Hong Kong. Authorities say that the process could take up to six weeks. Freeman was arrested by police in China after he fled the United States in 2006, facing charges in Washington state on three counts of child rape and jumping bail while also facing federal charges of producing and distributing child pornography. Freeman's maximum sentence would be life imprisonment if convicted. This weekend, we’ll have all the details.http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=41919


Taizhi Cui:
In October 2006, Los Angeles' Korean community was shocked by a triple murder that happened in their own backyard. Cops say the deaths were the work of a jilted lover hell-bent on getting revenge on an ex-girlfriend and her new paramour. However, authorities are still looking for the man they say pulled the trigger ... Taizhi Cui. On AMW.com, we have photos of Taizhi, check it out and help us bring him down.http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=44720


Richard Ochoa: Apparently, Richard Ochoa is a real nice guy. He's married, has a kid, and nobody has a bad word to say about him. Until police discovered that he was allegedly involved in the business of running drugs all over Michigan. Now, cops want to bring him in before somebody else falls for his nice-guy act. Ochoa’s a big guy, and should be easy to spot. This weekend, we’ll give you all the information you need to catch him.http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=44291


Carey Price: Police have been searching for alleged drunk driver Carey Price after he didn't show up for a court appearance. Price is one of two fugitives who still remain on the run from a Feburary 2005 airing of AMW -- the other eight are all behind bars. It's time all ten fugitives from this episode are put where they belong. This week we’ll give you the chance to bring them down.http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=30262

Javier Mendoza: In the early morning hours of Saturday, Aug. 6, 2005 in Kansas City, Kan. Maria Guzman was riding in a car with three friends when she was shot and killed when the car she was in exchanged gunfire. This stemmed from an earlier incident, where a girl lost a fight with another girl and was seeking revenge. Check the full story out in our My Story section of AMW.com. Then tune in, and help us bring Javier Mendoza to justice.http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=47136


Jabalee Murders:
Ron and Christine Jabalee were savagely murdered in their own home last October, and their children are desperate for clues that will reveal why someone destroyed the foundation of their family by killing their beloved parents. Now, the local Crimestoppers organization is offering a $160,000 reward to shake loose the facts of this tragic crime.http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=47320


Tolbert Walls: After being found unfit to stand trial for armed robbery, cops say Tolbert Walls was sent to a mental health facility outside Chicago, Ill. He was supposed to get well and have a trial, but according to police, Walls -- who was convicted of murder more than a decade ago -- proved sane enough to obtain a visitor's pass and make a break for freedom.http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=48423


Disney Boy Hero: Disney calls its resorts “The Happiest Place on Earth.” But this summer, a dream vacation at Disney's Swan Resort turned into a nightmare for one young girl. The story is a good reminder that even well-secured public places with good reputations can pose dangers for children. But even more than that, this story is a reminder that heroes come in all shapes and sizes – and ages. Police say the girl was approached and lured away by a man named William Bishop. But today, Bishop is behind bars, thanks to an alert and street smart eleven-year-old boy named David. We’ll give you the rundown this weekend.http://www.amw.com/features/feature_story_detail.cfm?id=2164

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...

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...
