Phillip Jackman was aired on AMW's April 19th, 2008 AMW 50/50 special as their fugitive out of Vermont. He was one of the few fugitives from that very successful show to still have not been caught. Below is the archived description of his case:

Convicted Rapist Flees Probationer

Court documents obtained by AMW tell the tale. Philip Jackman's probation officer wrote in a report, "I feel that Jackman poses a significant risk to the community as well as himself." The problem is, that was written in 2004, and Jackman is still on the loose.

Philip Jackman knew his future did not look bright. On August 18, 2004, he went to see his probation officer. He was on probation for sexually assaulting an ex-girlfriend in 2003. For that crime, he was sentenced to between eighteen months and ten years in prison. But, a judge suspended all but 60 days of that sentence, essentially telling Jackman if he behaved, he wouldn't have to go to prison for a decade.

At the 2004, hearing he found out his current girlfriend was coming in to give a statement alleging he had brutally raped her as well. Realizing that he could go away for a long time, police say Jackman left the office and headed to his home on Morris Drive in Orange, Vt. He took a ten foot rope, and drove along the dirt roads, eventually getting out of his car. Officers feared he would try and hang himself, but by the time cops searched the woods, Jackman was nowhere to be found.

Now, the U.S. Marshals are hunting this convicted rapist, and need your help. The only clues to go on are his multiple tattoos and the fact that he has known associates in the Keene, N.H. area.

Thoughts? Of all the 50/50 fugitives in 2008, you'd think Jackman would have actually been one of the ones caught over some of the others. There are good clues such as tattoos and mannerisms, and it's known where some of his associates are. Yet he's still not there. This is just me speculating but part of me wonders if being based in the Northeast he decided to flee to Canada. It should also be stressed that although Jackman is technically only wanted for parole violation, he is a dangerous predator. He was already convicted of one sexual assault, and his girlfriend was about to report one more. Getting him caught, like today, no rush , would put a lot of people's minds, especially the good people of Vermont's minds, at ease.
