America's Most Wanted

First, I have some sad new... America's Most Wanted will not be airing this weekend. Of course, there's always a silver lining to every rain cloud- so while they aren't on air, they are still pounding away solving cases and looking for tips.

Here's an update on what's been keeping them busy:

Sarah Pender: According to officials, while Sarah Pender was in jail, her former lover, Jamie Long, served as a "postmaster." Cops say Long provided prison guard Scott Spitler with drugs and contraband cell phones for Pender to sell behind bars. She was also Pender's getaway driver during her August 4, 2008 escape. Now, Long has been sentenced to seven years for helping Pender escape. Pender remains at large, and cops still need your help to track her down and lock her up again.

Luann and Bradley Chase: Less than 12 hours after they appeared on America's Most Wanted, a vigilant viewer's tip led cops to the accused child molesters in the Lone Star State.

Chatyn Byrd: Cops say Chatyn Byrd has been a thorn in law enforcement's side for years, racking up a rap sheet which includes armed robbery and various drug charges. But in November 2007, cops say he graduated to a far greater level of criminality, when he pumped four bullets into another man's body, nearly killing him. But thanks to a cooperative tipster and the efforts of Michigan law enforcement personnel, Byrd's all cooped up behind bars once again.

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...
