AMW International Capture Breakdown

Thanks, fixed! I think because Brazil's official language is Portuguese it had me confused.

But yes. Don't get me wrong. I and we love John Walsh and I hope if AMW comes back, he's still the host. But he is way over-exaggerating when he brags about AMW's international reach. For instance, Stephen Wilson (#200), was captured in England because they tracked his girlfriend from Florida through tipsters. Another one (forgot who) was captured because he gave someone the creeps when he tried to register for something and used his real name and they looked him up. And yes, AMW.COM is responsible for many international captures, but the actual tv airings aren't. He also claimed Lifetime captured fugitives "all over the world" when their only world captures were from two countries- the standard Mexico and Belize.

That's not to say AMW shouldn't try and it is the court of last resort, but it is a bit much when they profile fugitives obviously in far away and unlikely to extradite countries. So I'm only criticizing and saying their international track record isn't as impressive because I'd like to see them focus more on fugitives likely in the states. I don't think they're going to catch Samantha Lewthwaite and Ali Abid even though it's worth it to at least try.

A bit off-topic, but this is why I'm so much more disappointed at AMW's current cancellation than the second Fox one, despite watching the show for over a decade. Walsh (who I once again stress is still my hero) has had some other inaccuracies and for instance claimed they caught more guys than they ever caught in Fox's last season which we all know is completely untrue and Lifetime had more captures than the last two seasons on Fox. There was also a decline in quality and that stupid round-table thing. Granted, I may also have been less disappointed at Fox's second cancellation since it was pretty likely AMW was going to wind up on a new network and now we have no idea and are hoping for a miracle, but still.

Anyway, hopefully I add John Caro to the international direct capture list and update Colombia's number to three soon. We'll see. Fingers crossed!
