America's Most Wanted

The following cases will be featured this Saturday at 9pm on your local Fox station.

Terrence Washington: He's been on AMW four times in the last year, and federal agents in Nashville, Tenn. say a man known for escaping from the police has slipped away from authorities -- again. Terrence Washington has been behind bars in a Nashville prison since last April, but on Sunday, February 23, 2008, prison guards noticed that Washington was missing from his cell. Agents say Washington was last spotted just hours after his escape in northern Nashville. He was seen in a small, black, 4-door Cadillac.

Waqas Rehman: Florida police say Waqas Rehman is pretty computer savvy. That's because the 29-year-old is accused of luring a young girl into a real-life encounter with him after they "met" online. Cops say that what happened next is something no child should ever have to face.

Miguel Torres: For years they enjoyed what seemed to be a storybook romance -- a love so strong they didn't even feel the need to formalize it with vows. But after Barbara West married Miguel Torres, she found that her new husband had a dark side ... one that would drive him to violent extremes.

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.
