Bell, a former gymnastics coach is being sought for molesting three young girls while Bell was working at a local YMCA. He was arrested in Washington State in 2003 but failed to appear for a pre-trial conference. Pakman on the old forums said that Bell probably hadn't been caught yet because he blends in too well. Thoughts? www.fbi.gov/wanted/cac/james-william-bell/view

I assume blending in is a reason, and I know I'm going to sound like a broken record, but I REALLY don't get why AMW removed his profile. Even more than some others. Some of us thought he had a better chance at being on the FBI's top 10 list than Eric Toth. But we now understand Toth was chosen over others because he has recognizable features as opposed to fugitives like Bell that "don't stand out."
No clue where Bell may be today. I always think Canada's always a possibility anytime the fugitive is close enough to it, so I think it's a slight possibility being he was right near British Columbia, but for whatever reason I can't picture Bell there.

Wow, it's a capture barrage week! I guess two things happen in threes- one is celebrity deaths, and the other is more pleasant- former AMW-aired fugitives. Bell has been capured in Spokane, Washington after over a decade on the run! Another one bites the dust! No word on how he was caught, but I am curious if the Justice Network possibly played a role considering they did a recent PSA on him. www.spokesman.com/stories/2015/apr/29/fbi-arrests-fugitive-accused-child-molestation-spo/

About time! Amazing work by the tipster and the two FBI field offices. Also I checked their website and found that the Justice Network airs in the Spokane media market.

There another Scumbag Child prevent behind bars, I hoped they sentenced him to life without parole.

Well, that is realistic. We'll wait and see if they take credit. But I believe Bell is the first Justice Network capture that used to be on AMW, whether it's direct or not.
