Reuben Lopez was finally captured back in October of 2015 but David Lopez is still at large.
Also, interesting note about Joyce Chiang is her brother Roger, who I believe was interviewed (not sure if it was doing that segment), went on to become America's Most Wanted's executive-in-charge for their final season on Lifetime. (Back in 2011, after over a decade from when she was found murdered- two suspects were named and the case was announced as closed- one suspect was already in jail for killing another woman while another suspect is in Guyana and believed to be immune from extradition).

January 23, 1999
Juarez, Mexico crime spree - Dozens upon dozens of females murdered in this border town near El Paso, TX.
Catpured: Shad Armstrong - Murdered profiled two weeks previously captured.
Update: Kyle Dovchinksy - Turns out, Kyle was not separated from the pack and he and two of the other escapees went on a huge crime spree in the south. They led police on a 100 mph chase, driving the wrong way on the expressway with their lights off (!!!) Still looking for them.
Paul Carpenter - Is wanted for murdering a German tourist in Santa Monica. He has also committed many other crimes.
Chester Todd - Is wanted for killing a mother of 3. He previously murdered someone in 1967 and served 15 years in prison.
Joyce Chiang - Disappeared from Washington, D.C. (not mentioned, but this case is thought to possibly be connected to many other disappearances, including Chandra Levy).
Reuben and David Lopez - Low riders are wanted for murdering someone in a mistake hit.
Timothy Young - Lengthened segment on the continued need to capture child molester Timothy Young, who is traveling with child Jerrod Love.
Isabella Bravo - California girl was abducted by her alcoholic and drug addicted mother, who kidnapped her from a public restroom.
John Pinder - Is wanted for murdering two people in Duchesne, UT and blowing up their remains. Eccentric guy who would ride around with a fully grown male lion in the back of his pick-up truck. (I have a full-length episode of City Confidential on this)
ending cut off.
A couple of notes I want to mention regarding some of those cases. Juarez Serial Killings: I don't know if you've ever read about the serial sexual murders that plagued Juarez, Mexico starting in 1993 before seeing this episode, so I'll give a brief summary that as has been confirmed by journalists, FBI agents and intelligence sources (there are actually two books that go into much more detail). Basically different groups of individuals starting in the early 1990s, kidnapped, raped and murdered numerous young women and girls, and these ranged from drug cartel enforcers, prominent gangs, a couple of serial killers, corrupt police officers and a group of "powerful men" with ties to the drug trade in Juarez. AMW never went in-depth on this and I believe the reason why is that they didn't want to ruin the ties with law enforcement in Mexico when it came to extraditing US fugitives out of Mexico. Paul Carpenter: He was arrested as an indirect capture (not as a result of AMW) in 2009 in Jamaica. He later was sentenced to 32 years in prison. Chester Lee Todd: He was arrested as an indirect capture in 2011 in Las Vegas. He later died in a hospital in 2013.

That's interesting about Roger Chiang. He was indeed interviewed for the show.

Successful episode in that Bradley Hughes became a direct capture shortly afterwards, and James Donald King became an indirect capture a few years later. No idea whatever happened to the Santa Claus Bandit. Below is the link to the youtube video for this episode. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3qmfneqQMw

Yeah, re: Santa Claus Bandit, John Walsh even chuckled and said "This is a long shot." They did have a few clues, but nothing really concrete.

Oh Lord, I have no idea. Dozens probably. Not to worry, I just wanted to see how many episodes we had access to.

December 4, 1999
Arthur Torres - Is wanted for murdering 3 people and gauging out one of the victims eyeballs while he was still alive. He narrowly missed being captured on multiple occasions.
Donald Kemp - Is wanted for murdering his ex-wife Tena Cramer and her new boyfriend Rob Miller.
Hans Grahlmann - Multi-millionaire from California was shot dead along with Jason Moore by unknown suspect(s) with unknown motives. Also searching for heirs, who could inherit as much as 15 million. Hans, who was gay, had converted many of the local businesses to gay-friendly businesses, and some think this is a possible motive, however there are many mysteries to the case.
Tracy Grady - Is wanted for shooting two police officers (they both survived) in Albany, NY.
Mark Strbac - Is wanted for shooting Martinio Green 5 times and killing him over a $20 debt.
Ronald Fleming - Michigan man is wanted for molesting his own step-son and possession of child pornography. He also kept a journal in which he fantasized and obsessed about a neighborhood boy.
FL Factory massacre - 4 people shot dead in a factory in Bartow, FL. 100k reward offered. Ex-employees of the factory are considered suspects or otherwise wanted for questioning. (I believe this aired previously, however they mention a new clue that the perps may be in possession of two pieces of jewelry taken from the victims, which are shown.)
Ronald Applegate - Washington state man is wanted for molesting two girls.
partial episode, unknown date
Captured: Richard Minsky - Man who was arrested and put behinds bars many times in many states, but never held for long.
Jorda Hampton - Worked as a traffic attendant when she attempted to help a woman whose car had gotten rammed and engulfed in flames, but was unable. This inspired Jorda to become a police officer. Later, she faced a similar incident with a woman whose car went off the road and into a creek with a strong current. Jorda went to Herculean efforts to rescue the woman and this time was successful, with the help of her coworkers. (note: this is more like a Rescue 911 segment)
Carmena Rodiguez - Girl who is missing.
Edward Santora Jr. - Is wanted by police.
Kyle Bell - Child rapist and child murderer is sought.

Some additional information I have on a few of those cases. Arthur Torres: He later became Capture #600. I've been told by another long-time AMW fan who was watching at the time that when Arthur was doing his walk of shame during the capture report for the AMW camera person he jokingly said "I'm famous". When you put into perspective the crimes he committed tells you exactly what kind of monster he is. David Lee Kemp: Longtime fugitive who spent years on the run after multiple AMW profiles until 2004. He later surrendered in 2013 and was sentenced later that year. Mark Strbac: I believe Mark was first aired in 1997 and caught in 2002/2003. Edward Santora Jr.: He's still at large and I think he was aired before 1999. amwfans.com/thread/431/edward-santora-maryland-1989William Zapata: Spent several years on the run but was captured sometime around 2010 I think. Erica Richardson/John Feiga: I'm not sure if Unsolved Mysteries mentioned this but John Feiga was several years ago determined to be a John Doe who was murdered in Louisiana in 1998. It was never determined who murdered John and even though I don't feel any pity for him, I am curious as to who his murderer was. amwfans.com/thread/734/unknown-john-feiga-killer-louisiana

April 10, 1999 (557 fugitives caught to date)
Opal Jennings - 6 year old girl from Saginaw, TX was abducted while playing in her front yard with her younger brother and a friend. Ashleigh Banfield (later of 20/20 and her own true crime show on HLN) hosts this segment. (I have a 20/20 episode on this, it's on the same ep with Jacob Wetterling).
Joel Urena - Is wanted for his part in home invasion robberies. At least one victim was shot.
William Bradford Bishop - I'm sure most of you know this one. In a crime eerily similar to that of John List (probably AMW's most famous capture), a man murders his wife, 3 children and mother and then flees. Bodies later turned up hundreds of miles south, having been torched. Numerous confirmed and unconfirmed sightings of him in Europe, where he has ties to. (Also profiled on The Hunt with John Walsh and Unsolved Mysteries)
Misbah Kazi - Illegal immigrant from Bangladesh is the prime suspect in the disappearance of 4 year old Katheryne Lago, who vanished in early 1994. A Florida jury (uh-oh, you know where this is going) found him not guilty. He later brutally assaulted a woman, shocking her with electricity and hitting her with a hammer 15 times, among other atrocities, but she miraculously survived.
Victor Casrellanos - Gang member known as "The Magician" is wanted for killing a young man after an attempted robbery. He was arrested, but escaped after faking an injury and slipping out of handcuffs.

Joel Urena is still at large. Victor Casrellanos was first aired back in 1991. He was caught in Mexico in 2006 but there was never a publication about his capture in the media. The only reason I know about it was from a court document I happened to find a few years ago.

April 17, 1999 (563 fugitives caught to date)
Percy Fruman - Murderer with similarities to infamous serial killer Andrew Cunanan is sought.
Catpure: Rafael Camarena - Man who smuggled drugs from Mexico to U.S. through underground tunnel is captured (his case was also profiled on Unsolved Mysteries)
Glen Gore - Is suspected of a murder in which two innocent people were convicted, served 12 years and released through DNA testing.
Julie Wills - Up-and-coming model and actress was killed.
Dudley Forbes - Is wanted for the attempted murder of his girlfriend, during which he shot two people dead and injured 7 in a nightclub. In an unbelievable twist, an AMW tipster thought she had saw Forbes in Providence, RI at the travel agency where she worked and alerted authorities (there were lots of similarities). Police stopped him when he returned and he led police on a chase that resulted in 7 people getting injured and much damage to local businesses. He wasn't Forbes, but he was wanted for a murder in Canada.
ending segment on Yosemite murders cut off, however I have a full American Justice episode on that.
