I vote for Harold Martin Smith because he murdered a Hollywood publicist and was the last Unknown case ever solved by AMW, and Dwayne "Money" Pinestraw for shooting and killing a baby. Marrero and Tee win 3 to 1.
Kenneth Lee Baker, #1125, Ags 3, 2010 A 360-pound blob. In May 2010, he flew into a jealous rage after his wife accidentally sent him a text message meant for someone else. He shot and killed his wife and stepdaughter. Over the next 2 1/2 months, he couldn't handle the blood on his hands and on top of everything he'd lost, his Mazda was impounded. After his airing on July 31 (Wizard's Night) 2010, a tipster at a park in Shreveport, Louisiana saw him on a bench complaining to himself, saying, "I've messed up my life!" Then he matched the stickers on a black truck parked nearby, and busted Baker on his 39th birthday. He was later sentenced to 4 life terms.
vs
Jonathan Jamel May, #1197, Spt 4, 2012 In February 2012, he and 2 other men shot at 5 people in Detroit, Michigan. A crippled couple was killed, 1 other person was wounded, and 2 were unharmed. He was busted in Monticello, Arkansas, but Detroit's police department still sought out Brian and Rakesk White. In 2014, the White brothers were captured, and May was sentenced to life in prison.
and
Simon Bahta Asfeha, #1111, Apl 29, 2010 An Ethiopian immigrant with no regular employment. Earlier in the month when he was busted, he killed his girlfriend and 3 year old daughter in Alexandria, Virginia, by stabbing them to death and bludgeoning them with the flat side of the blade. Within one month, he'd gone from fugitive on the run, to AMW 8-Second Commercial Break case, to Direct Result Capture when a tipster busted him in NYC. He's now in prison for life.
vs
Errol and Tonya Victor, #1180/#1181, Apl 14, 2012 A fugitive couple from St. John the Baptist's Parish, Louisiana. Starting in 2004, their collective 13 sons were imprisoned in a house of horrors, starved, beaten, and forced to work nearly all hours of the day renovating the mansion. They were often punished by being forced to run laps around the property holding cinderblocks. Errol kept them away from school and brainwashed them into worshipping him as God. On April's Eve 2008, an ice cream sandwich went missing. Hoping to spare the other 12 men and boys any pain, 8 year old ML Lloyd III admitted to it. Errol grabbed a belt, tied him down, and whipped him repeatedly while Tonya stood by and did nothing to stop him. They took Lloyd to a hospital where he soon died from his wounds. In August 2011, they appeared on local news proclaiming their innocence before fleeing their trial. After Lifetime's Couples on the Run special, a tipster busted them in Tifton, Georgia. Errol had been doing handiwork and trying to start his own church, while Tonya wore a scarf and could barely speak anymore. Despite fears that the case against them would fall apart, they were convicted in July 2014. In September, Errol was sentenced to life without parole, and Tonya got 21 years.
I'll vote for Jonathan Jamel May for killing a crippled couple and wounding a 3rd victim, and shooting at 2 more victims and missing. Second, I vote for Errol Victor for his long and complicated pattern of abusing his step-children, and whipping an 8 year old boy to death over a missing ice cream sandwich, and how Louisiana narrowly managed to convict the couple.

I'll vote for Nargo for the murders over a missing illegal assault rifle, and CO-Jack for his younger victims. Juicy defeats Nargo 3 to 1, and Morris vs Trumell ended in a draw. I have to flip a coin. If heads, Gabriel. If tails, Dymone. Aaand... TTH. Trumell advances!
Lemuel Monge Marrero, #1120, Jne 16, 2010 In June 2009, his family joined forces to kill a witness to a gang brawl that his partner-in-crime lost in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Police quickly rounded up his brothers and father, but Lemuel got away. He fled to Fajardo, Puerto Rico to seek refuge with his mother, and killed 2 more people in drive-by shootings. He was aired on the 15 Seconds of Shame on 8-29-009, and a tipster busted him in a club on January 2, 2010. However, it took 5 1/2 months to extradite him, and it paid off. Lemuel is now serving life with no chance of parole.
vs
Harold Martin Smith (DECEASED), #1137, Dcb 1, 2010 The Unknown Ronni Chasen Killer. In mid-November 2010, as Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen drove away from an afterparty following a screening of the film Burlesque, an unknown assailant rode up to her on his bicycle, hoping to rob her, but instead shot her, causing her to crash her car and die. Starting on the 11-20-010 broadcast, AMW aired the case twice as a Breaking News Alert. On December's Day 2010, AMW tipsters led Beverly Hills law enforcement to an apartment, but their suspect, Harold Martin Smith, shot himself dead before they could arrest him. 40 days later, the final ballistic test results were in, and Smith was confirmed as the killer. The tipster called AMW again to say that she called to get justice for Ronni.
and
Albert James "Tee" Turner, #1109, Mrc 5, 2010 A former Texas prison guard and jealous bully. Over almost a decade, he'd abused his wife and children, acting reclusive at times and spying on his wife at others. In December 2009, she tried to leave him, and took her children away to another house in Rosenberg, Texas. On the day after Christmas 2009, he broke into the home and, in front of his children, slashed the throats of his wife Keitha Frank Turner and mother-in-law Betty Jo Frank, nearly decapitating them, and wounding Betty Jo's husband. In January 2010, he tried to fake his death by submerging his SUV in the Chattahoochee River west of Atlanta. In February 2010, he'd been living underneath an overpass on a river bank. In March 2010, as Walsh announced his addition to the US Marshal's 15 Most Wanted on Regis & Kelly, a tipster busted him walking with a cane in a Concord, North Carolina Mall, just before he was slated to be profiled on AMW's 1000th episode. In June 2011, Turner was condemned to death.
vs
Dwayne "Money" Pinestraw, #1165, Dcb 19, 2011 By July 2011, Pinestraw was deep in a feud of over stolen cash in Pensacola, Florida. He went up to one apartment door, and as a 22 month old boy approached the interior side of the door, Pinestraw opened fire, killing the baby and (incidentally) wounding the culprit. By that autumn, he'd settled into a hideout in Mesquite, Texas where he was busted following a tip from the 12-17-011 FOX special. He was soon convicted and sent to lifer's row.

I'll vote for Paul Herman Clouston, and he defeats Larene Eleanor Austin 3 to 1. Bruno Salgado vs Larry Burns ended in a draw, so I have to flip a coin. If heads, Salgado. If tails, Daniel Oakes, I mean Larry Burns. Aaand... HTT! Larry Burns advances!
Rashad "Juicy" Elay Glenn, #1131, Oct 8, 2010 An 18 year old Fort Worth drug gangster. In August 2010, he fired a rifle into a car and killed 2 people. He never left Forth Worth, and when he was profiled as the 8-Second Commercial Break fugitive for 10-02-010, a tipster led right back to Fort Worth where he'd tried retaliating against crime witnesses. As he saw himself on the show, he surrendered and is now serving life in prison without parole.
vs
Reanaldo Nargo, #1187, Jne 13, 2012 In Louisiana, he killed two men by shooting them execution style over a missing AK-47, then escaped police custody. He was last seen in January 2007, when he was asked to appear in court on new charges in Tacoma, Washington, but failed to appear. Following his All-Points Bulletin airing, a tipster knew he was still in Tacoma and called the hotline, telling them Nargo was dating the tipster's relative. Nargo was busted at his brother's house. He's now serving life in prison.
and
Gabriel Christian Morris, #1106, Fbr 22, 2010 In February 2010, he shot his mother and her boyfriend to death in western Oregon, then took his wife and 4 year old daughter on the run across the southwestern US. Within the month, they fled east to his relative's house in Dumfries, Virginia. Morris had been behaving in a very irritating fashion since he arrived there, and the relative's friend knew something was up, did a search on his name, found his amw.com profile, and busted him. His wife was released shortly after on a Hindrance of Prosecution charge. Morris originally faced the death penalty, but was sentenced to 2 consecutive life terms.
vs
Trumell Dymone "CO-Jack" Turner, #1155, Jne 24, 2011 A Detroit drug dealer named John Walsh's 2011 50/50 Fugitive #MI1. In May 2010, he baselessly accused two innocent teenagers of stealing his girlfriend's car during one of their younger brother's graduation weekend. Try as they might to avoid Trumell, he followed them down and shot them to death in the middle of the street before driving off. A few hours later, the car was found scrapped in an alley. One victim's mother, a cancer patient, braved the frozen weather and rough neighborhoods to pass around wanted posters. Despite fleeing to Texas at one point, he returned to Detroit a year after the murders and was busted inside a house within a few miles of the murder scene. He's now serving between 3 and 6 decades.

I'll vote for Jeanifer Lee Segrest and Joseph William Chapman. Jackson defeats Segrest 3 to 1, and Chapman defeats Vargas 0 to 4.
Bruno Salgado, #1122, Jly 8, 2010 A Mexican immigrant. In July 1982, he got in an argument with a group of immigrants from other towns, all over whose home town was better. It soon boiled over, and he shot them up. His casualty toll was 1 dead, 2 wounded. In 1992, he started dealing drugs and raised enough money to vanish into the shadows in February 1996. In a record breaker for oldest case solved by AMW, 27.9 years after the murder, an amw.com visitor busted him hiding out with his relatives in the town of Ramsey, Minnesota. He is now serving 3 decades in prison.
vs
Larry Burns, #1124, Jly 20, 2010 In May of 1986, his ex-wife had been seeking shelter from him in her mother's house in Gary, Indiana. He burst into the house, guns blazing. The mother got into a gunfight and fled when Burns' gun jammed. Then, he ran up the stairs to the bedroom and killed his ex-wife with 2 shots to the head. He'd last been seen walking out of the house with one shoe on and his boxers exposed. Starting in 1993, AMW aired him about a dozen times. 24 years later, an amw.com tipster busted him on July 20, 2010, his alias' 57th birthday, in Long Beach, California, where he'd made a living by breeding rottweilers and repairing pool tables under the name Daniel Oakes. He was convicted and sentenced to 7 decades in prison.
and
Paul Herman Clouston, #1118, Jne 1, 2010 A septagenarian career criminal and winner of the Summer 2009 AMW Forum's Fugitive Face-Off. In September 1972, he killed a cop in Buena Park, California. Released on bond less than 2 decades later, he traveled to Virginia where he sexually assaulted 7 boys and 2 girls, starting in 1990. He more than likely molested many more children. In September 2005, he fled trial after telling a pastor there was no God. He was added to the US Marshal's 15 Most Wanted list in December 2006. On June's Day 2010, an amw.com tipster busted him in a Merced, California elder commune where he'd been living as a lawn mower repairman. He was busted in a very elderly gentleman like fashion: sitting in a chair and reading a newspaper. He's been sentenced to at least 6 years in prison.
vs
Larene Eleanor Austin, #1170, Jnr 25, 2012 At first, she claimed that a woman named LaNell Barsock, a nursing student, was her best friend since grade school. The truth was they were former lesbian lovers who'd only known each other for a matter of months. Austin, a bus driver, would often visit nearby cities under Barsock's identity. After their romance ended, she shot Barsock execution style, tried to clean up the scene, burst into a police station fronting as a star witness, and claimed a Caribbean man had killed Barsock. Surveillance tapes proved the Caribbean man innocent, and Austin failed the polygraph test miserably. In late January 2012, she was busted in Punta Gorda, Belize and promptly deported. She would've been there to stay without AMW. It was among the most twisted homicides ever solved by AMW on Lifetime.
I'll hold my vote on the second match-up, but on the first, I'll vote for Larry Burns. AMW aired him countless times since '993, and he's serving 7 decades against Salgado's 3 decades, and he was busted on his alias' birthday.

Let's get ready to rumbbbbllllleeee!
Robert Steven Jackson, #1152, May 20, 2011 A Las Vegas hybrid gang banger on both the GangTECC's 12 Most Wanted and US Marshals' 15 Most Wanted lists. In August 2007, he fired 5 shots into the Vegas strip, hid the gun in a planter, and ran off. 4 people were wounded. In fact, the victim who was farthest away from the gunfire suffered the worst injuries during her bachelorette party. She couldn't walk for a long time, and had to be wheeled down the aisle. He was first profiled on the 15 Seconds of Shame in the summer of 2009, then given a full airing in January 2010. It took a total of 5-7 airings before he was busted in Chicago, Illinois with dreadlocks, a goatee, and an assumed identity. In September 2013, he was released on house arrest with an ankle monitoring bracelet, and justice had been delayed for almost one more year, but in August 2014, he was finally convicted. In February 2015, he was sentenced to between 3 decades and 3/4 century in prison.
vs
Jeanifer Lee Segrest, #1173, Fbr 7, 2012 A convicted felony thief. Starting in 2004, she received 50 Grand from a phony tutor in Georgia to let two men molest her daughters, aged about 8 years old. In August 2008, officers seeking out pimps rescued the two girls, and during their therapy, they described what Cesar Moran and the other rapist had done to them. Cops quickly caught the other rapist and the woman who funded the sexual assaults, locked them up, and threw away the key. In December 2011, AMW introduced the case on Lifetime, asking tipsters to look for Segrest and Cesar Moran. Under 2 months later, tipsters busted Segrest in a house in Port Wentworth, Georgia in front of her two young sons. She gave cops a fake ID and a pathetic excuse, but couldn't put one over on the arresting officers. Segrest is now serving 2 decades in prison, but Cesar Moran, the last of the four in the rape plot, is still out there.
and
Gilberto Angel Vargas, #1116, May 20, 2010 A Spanish Cobras gang banger. During Chicago's June 2009 Puerto Rican festival, 4 men drove by his fellow gang bangers. The gang bangers mistook the festival goers for rival bangers and marked them for shooting. On their way out from the festival, Vargas shot one of the innocent men to death. After his 15 Seconds of Shame profile, he was busted towing 3 large rifles in a U-Haul truck, and made a pathetic attempt to look like he was fainting during his walkshot. He's now serving 5 1/2 decades in prison.
vs
Joseph William Chapman, #1185, May 20, 2012 John Walsh's 2011 50/50 Fugitive #PA2. This sexual predator started abusing young girls when he was 7 years old. By the time he was arrested and sent to prison, he had raped between 20 and 150 victims. In July 2007, he was performing an outdoor prison detail when he put down a weed thwacker, threw his prison uniform into a river, and ran off in only his boxers. It took 3 more airings, including one as the second fugitive introduced on Lifetime's 12-02-011 Season 25 kickoff, to bust him in Arkwright, New York.

I've had my reservations about the Regular Mormon Hierarchy, but I think even they would agree with me that the Fundamentalist Mormon Church showed its evil ways under Warren Steed-Jeffs, and evil never prevails. I don't mind religious faith in and of itself, but I can't stand fundamentalism, and I admire Jessop's creative way of turning a would-be house of horrors into a house of healing. If I had the money and long-distance traveling know-how, he'd have had me at naming it America's Most Wanted Bed and Breakfast! I also have to credit the Texas District Attorney's Office. They did their part in making this all possible by sending Steed-Jeffs to lifer's row.

I'll vote for Darryl Crenshaw for the simple fact that I had trouble deciding between the two and no idea how to break the tie for a match-up this critical.
Darryl Crenshaw is our selection for Best Capture of the 11th Century of Captures besides Paul Michael Merhige and Chiew Chan Saevang.
Next up, make your 20 nominations for the best capture of the 12th century and beyond. Here are mine:
Gabriel Christian Morris (#1106) Albert James "Tee" Turner (#1109) Simon Bahta Asfeha (#1111) Paul Herman Clouston (#1118) Lemuel Monge Marrero (#1120) Bruno Salgado (#1122) Larry Burns (#1124) Kenneth Lee Baker (#1125) Rashad "Juicy" Elay Glenn (#1131) Harold Martin Smith (#1137) Trumell Dymone "CO-Jack" Turner (#1155) Dwayne "Money" Pinestraw (#1165) Antonio Ramell "Squirt" Barnes and Earl Timothy "E" Jackson (#1167/#1168) Larene Eleanor Austin (#1170) Jeanifer Lee Segrest (#1173) Errol and Tonya Victor (#1180/#1181) Joseph William Chapman (#1185) Reanaldo Nargo (#1187) Sama Chaka Quinland (#1194) Jonathan Jamel May (#1197)
These are the other 12 I'd have nominated for a 32-entry bracket, and I'm sad to leave these out: Patrick Anthony Brown (#1103) Gilberto Angel Vargas (#1116) Rene "Napoleon" Lopez (#1149) Robert Steven Jackson (#1152) Kenneth Andrew Craig (#1154) Ramon "The Human Fly" Virola (#1164) Rufus "G-Money" Byers (#1176) Fritz Alisme (#1178) Rasshammach Roberts (#1179) Janet M Hallahan and Nelson Grant Hallahan (#1183/#1184) Luis Gonzalez (#1186) Glen Joseph Davis (#1195)

I'll vote for Whitehead and Czechonna. Darryl Crenshaw and Michael Jason Registe advance 1 to 3 to the finals. Whoever wins this match-up will be our pick for best capture of the 11th Century of Captures besides Paul Michael Merhige and Chiew Chan Saevang.
Darryl Crenshaw, #1055, Jnr 14, 2009 A serial abuser of girlfriends. In April 2008, he tried to kidnap one of his ex-girlfriends. In August 2008, he beat and strangled his last girlfriend Ashley Peoples in Connecticut... while out on bail! Somehow, Peoples' stepfather, a New England pastor, found the strength to forgive the judge and Crenshaw for her murder, leaving vengeance in the hands of the Lord. Less than one month after being named John Walsh's #2 most wanted fugitive of 2008, an AMW tipster busted him serving time in Mexico. During the extradition flight, tears welled up in his eyes, either out of remorse, or fear and defeat as he braced to face justice. He's since been sentenced to 78 years in prison.
vs
Michael Jason Registe, #1030, Ags 30, 2008 He first entered law enforcement's radar in November 2005 when he wounded a man who tried to buy his drugs. In July 2007, he murdered 2 of Georgia's Columbus State University's student athletes by shooting them execution style. 5 weeks after John Walsh named him the new guy on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted on the 7-26-008 FBI Centennial Special, an AMW tipster busted him in St. Maarten, in the Caribbean Sea. In May 2013, he pled guilty, and on top of having to negotiate an extradition warrant from St. Maarten, the death penalty was off the table. He was sentenced to 3 decades to life, with credit for time served.

Siganoff is out! Semifinals time!
Roshard M Whitehead, #1085, Ags 9, 2009 The last of 3 men who fled Operation Orange Tree. From 2004 to 2008, Whitehead's MO was to gain enough trust from parents to let him watch over their daughters, then show pornographic photos and videos to the girls, force them to act out what they saw, and threatened to beat and starve them if they didn't comply. After 3 airings and 2 months on the show, a tipster busted him hanging out with a 16 year old girl in Lexington, Kentucky. With his capture, all 80 targets of Operation Orange Tree were apprehended. A judge threw the book at Whitehead and sentenced him to 4 life terms.

and
Jeffrey Czechonna Miles and Anita Kay Vestal, #1066/#1067, Apl 19, 2009 In August 2008, Czechonna-Miles participated in a home robbery that ended in a shooting. The casualty toll was 2 dead, 1 wounded. After he was arrested, he befriended a prison guard named Anita Kay Vestal. In March 2009, Vestal supplied Czechonna-Miles with cell keys, set a diversion, and drove him off of prison grounds. They fled as far west as they could go, but within about a month, they were aired on an 8-second commercial break airing. A viewer busted them staying in a motel in Vallejo, California, and Czechonna-Miles is now serving life in prison.

How many possible motives could there be? The killer could've been...
*A straight supremacist driven either by myths and stigmas surrounding STDs and/or by the dogma of a Taliban-esque twist on Evangelical Christianity. *A group of classist bigots who hated the homeless and conspired to commit the most grotesque murder they could come up with just to scare Richmond's homeless population away *A robber who thought he might have something the killer wanted to steal by any means *A tryst partner who flew into a rage upon finding out he was HIV-positive (Capture #389 was wanted out of a bordering state for shooting a woman to death because she proclaimed herself AIDS-positive after scratching him with her fingernails.) *A fellow LGBT man who was frustrated with the damage he was doing to the gay community's reputation, particularly in Richmond, and saw him as a thorn in their side. *His rival in a drunken argument

I'll cast my previously reserved vote for Ricky "Sugarman" Godbolt because he was one of the worst GangTECC's 12 Most Wanted cases ever solved by AMW. Frank Shano Siganoff defeats Pedro E Ortiz 4 to 0, and Jeffrey Czechonna Miles and Anita Kay Vestal defeat Godbolt 1 to 3. Villamizar-Ayala vs Registe ended in a 2 to 2 draw, so I have to flip a coin. If heads, Villamizar. If tails, Registe. Aaand... TTH. Registe advances! Now we have to vote to eliminate one of these before the semifinals.
Roshard Whitehead (#1085) Darryl Crenshaw (#1055) Frank Shano Siganoff (#1008) Jeffrey Czechonna Miles and Anita Kay Vestal (#1066/#1067) Michael Jason Registe (#1030)

I'll vote for Durell-Hayes for his position on the GangTECC's 12 Most Wanted List and the Beer Bag Shooter for such a stupid motive for his crimes. Roshard defeats Durell 3 to 1, and Crenshaw defeats Francis 1 to 3.
Frank Shano Siganoff, #1008, May 7, 2008 A Los Angeles gypsy. The Eastern European tribe he was from has unusually strict rules regarding marriage and divorce, and in 2005, after two families rescinded a marriage, a toxically bitter feud began. In September 2007, it boiled over, and Siganoff blew up a shop with a Molotov cocktail, killing a rival gypsy. After he saw a wanted poster based on his amw.com profile, he surrendered in Phoenix, Arizona, and is now on California's death row.
vs
Pedro E Ortiz, #1015, May 29, 2008 A convicted Massachusetts crack dealer. In May 2007, his fellow gangsters had a run-in with a 16 year old boy. Pedro arranged a fight in a back alley, but instead, his partners in crime bludgeoned the boy in the head with a bicycle and stabbed him to death. The nearby communities were extremely outraged, and demonstrated to get justice. The killers were arrested but Ortiz got away. A month after his 8-second Commercial Break airing, AMW tips led to the town of Lynn, Massachusetts, where he tried to hide from police behind some window blinds, but was busted.
and
Ricky "Sugarman" Godbolt, #1086, Ags 13, 2009 A manslaughter convict, and one of the original 12 fugitives on GangTECC's 12 Most Wanted list. In December 2008, he bumped into another man who was trying to avoid a rain puddle outside a Jackson, Mississippi bar. The argument lasted a long time, until Godbolt shot the other man to death with a rifle. The body was found next to a filthy dumpster behind the bar. After less than 4 months on amw.com, a visitor busted him panhandling outside a Quizno's in Hollywood, California. He's now serving life in prison.
vs
Jeffrey Czechonna Miles and Anita Kay Vestal, #1066/#1067, Apl 19, 2009 In August 2008, Czechonna-Miles participated in a home robbery that ended in a shooting. The casualty toll was 2 dead, 1 wounded. After he was arrested, he befriended a prison guard named Anita Kay Vestal. In March 2009, Vestal supplied Czechonna-Miles with cell keys, set a diversion, and drove him off of prison grounds. They fled as far west as they could go, but within about a month, they were aired on an 8-second commercial break airing. A viewer busted them staying in a motel in Vallejo, California, and Czechonna-Miles is now serving life in prison.
and
Jorge Ivan Villamizar-Ayala, #1087, Ags 22, 2009 In Cali, Columbia, he murdered his girlfriend in the 1990's. In November 2004, he smashed his girlfriend's skull with a 2 pound sledge hammer in Pompano Beach, Florida, leaving her children to find the body. He'd also wounded a woman in New York, and raped a child in Houston, Texas. Cops feared they had a rising serial killer on their hands, until AMW tipsters in Brownsville, Texas, thwarted him by sending a tip saying he was praying at a Pentecostal Church every Friday night. He was taken into custody in the early morning of Saturday, August 22, 2009. He's now serving life in prison.
vs
Michael Jason Registe, #1030, Ags 30, 2008 He first entered law enforcement's radar in November 2005 when he wounded a man who tried to buy his drugs. In July 2007, he murdered 2 of Georgia's Columbus State University's student athletes by shooting them execution style. 5 weeks after John Walsh named him the new guy on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted on the 7-26-008 FBI Centennial Special, an AMW tipster busted him in St. Maarten, in the Caribbean Sea. In May 2013, he pled guilty, and on top of having to negotiate an extradition warrant from St. Maarten, the death penalty was off the table. He was sentenced to 3 decades to life, with credit for time served.
I'll vote for Siganoff for his fiery method of murder and getting sent to death row and Villamizar-Ayala because without AMW, he could've killed half a dozen more women before he would've been caught, and hold my vote on Sugarman vs Czechonna.

Villamizar-Ayala and Registe advance! Round 2 begins here!
Roshard M Whitehead, #1085, Ags 9, 2009 The last of 3 men who fled Operation Orange Tree. From 2004 to 2008, Whitehead's MO was to gain enough trust from parents to let him watch over their daughters, then show pornographic photos and videos to the girls, force them to act out what they saw, and threatened to beat and starve them if they didn't comply. After 3 airings and 2 months on the show, a tipster busted him hanging out with a 16 year old girl in Lexington, Kentucky. With his capture, all 80 targets of Operation Orange Tree were apprehended. A judge threw the book at Whitehead and sentenced him to 4 life terms.
vs
Dion Durell Hayes, #1075, Jne 29, 2009 One of the original 12 fugitives on the GangTECC's 12 Most Wanted list. In July 2005, he shot down a man in Los Angeles after mistaking him for a rival gang banger. Over the following 4 years, he was named a person of interest in more shootings and assaults. An amw.com visitor led cops to Lancaster, California. Cops set up a sting offering to let him work under the table, and busted him. He was convicted of murder with 1 dead and 3 wounded and sentenced to life without parole initially, but he appealed the convictions for the 3 failed murder attempts, got them overturned, and a judge put parole on the table after Hayes serves 1/4 century.
and
James Roy "Beer Bag Shooter" Francis, #1077, Jly 1, 2009 On September's Eve 2008, he got into an argument with a grocery bagger in a Lafayette, Louisiana convenience store because his beer was bagged together with, rather than separately from, his brother's, and as it spilled into the parking lot, he shot the clerk to death. The brother was arrested but Francis fled. Following his 15 Seconds of Shame airing, he was busted in Houston, Texas' Best Classic Inn & Suites, where he'd been watching TV.
vs
Darryl Crenshaw, #1055, Jnr 14, 2009 A serial abuser of girlfriends. In April 2008, he tried to kidnap one of his ex-girlfriends. In August 2008, he beat and strangled his last girlfriend Ashley Peoples in Connecticut... while out on bail! Somehow, Peoples' stepfather, a New England pastor, found the strength to forgive the judge and Crenshaw for her murder, leaving vengeance in the hands of the Lord. Less than one month after being named John Walsh's #2 most wanted fugitive of 2008, an AMW tipster busted him serving time in Mexico. During the extradition flight, tears welled up in his eyes, either out of remorse, or fear and defeat as he braced to face justice. He's since been sentenced to 78 years in prison.
