In 2012, AMW captured 36 fugitives. While AMW in the 1990's and most of the 2000's captured between 40-50 fugitives on average, except for 2008, where thanks to the promotion of their 1,000th capture they caught a whopping 78 fugitives!, 36 fugitives was still significantly better than 2010 and 2011, I can't remember the full count since it was on the old forum, but thanks to repeats and more shows with known fugitives AMW on Lifetime caught more fugitives than the last few years on Fox.
With that being said, what is everyone's predictions for 2013 on Lifetime? There are many reasons to be both optimistic and pessimistic. Optimistic because AMW on Lifetime is now even more popular but pessimistic because for one they're starting so late. They may start in February when last year AMW seemed to capture a fugitive every other day in January, arguably their best month for captures. I wish Lifetime remembered that. Also, the amount of fugitives they caught significantly dwindled towards the end of the year and they showed less reruns. Hopefully they go back to more reruns as I think they over-saturated a bit last year where AMW was on Lifetime and A&E seemingly every other day.
Still, Lifetime seems to be doing better at captures overall than Fox was and with increased popularity it may be a good year.
My prediction is 42 captures. I hope I'm off and it's way more!
What is your predictions? As to amount and what notorious AMW fugitives do you think may finally go down this year!

With the delay ad no direct captures for the month of February, I can no longer predict 42, and have to lower it down a notch to 32. Still, while I hope it's both, I think once AMW does return, it will be a quality over quantity year in terms of captures. AMW on Lifetime had a lot more captures than the last few years on Fox, and a lot of great ones, but not many "list" or famous captures. No FBI direct capture or USMS direct capture, or Dirty Dozen. And one John Walsh top 10 list capture that was a leftover from the Fox days (Julio Ceja). My prediction is there may be less captures this year but a few of them will be huge since AMW on Lifetime is due for them. I'm greedy though so i hope I'm wrong and we get both quality and quantity once it returns.
