I checked the local stories page on the 1998-2004 amw.com website and came across Daniel Clemons's profile. Here's what his case was all about.

---

KETTENPOM, CA – Daniel Irving Clemons is wanted by the Trinity County Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney’s office for murder. On June 6, 1997, the body of 68-year-old rancher David MacLeod was found inside his residence "The MacLeod Ranch". The ranch is located near the rural town of Kettenpom, CA, in the Southern end of Trinity County (located in Northern California near Humboldt and Mendocino Counties).

Clemons was a former employee of MacLeod at the ranch and on or about the evening of June 4, 1997, visited him accompanied by a female companion. An alcohol party appears to have ensued and physical evidence collected at the crime scene clearly identifies Clemons as having been responsible for the murder.

Clemons is a heavy drinker, whose personality is like "Night and Day" when he drinks. He favors himself a "Ladies Man" and is known to solicit the services of local prostitutes. He likes to hang out in rough bars and tends to reside for extended periods in cheap motels in the "gutter" sections of cities.

Investigators believe he may be in Memphis, Tennessee, or one of the larger cities between Memphis and Colorado Springs. He may also be using a new last name of "Shade". Clemons is an extremely dangerous man. A felony warrant has also been issued in Colorado Springs as a result of an assault charge for striking a man in the face with a baseball bat. Clemons had lived in Colorado Springs for a two year period from 1998 through October of 2000. He worked for a local stucco company under the alias of "David Rogers"

I find it hilarious that according to the article, Daniel told a confidential information that he was wanted, and as a result that tip led to his arrest.

 In a way, that's not surprising.
The longer you are on the run, the more confident you become that you'll never get caught and the more arrogant you'll become.
Thus, you'll end up doing something really stupid like telling people you're wanted for murder and next thing you know, you're life on the run is over.
