From Fox 2 Detroit: (fox2detroit.com):
CLINTON TWP, Mich. (FOX 2) - Police and the U.S. Marshals are searching for a man they said slit the throat of his pregnant ex-girlfriend as she was parking at a police station to file a protection order against him.
According to police, it happened a little before 9 p.m. on October 9 when the victim pulled into the Clinton Township police station to make a threat report against her ex-boyfriend, Kevin VanAelst.
The victim is pregnant with the suspect's child and said she knew she was being followed closely by a car but didn't realize it was Vanaelst until she parked in the lot.
She said VanAelst opened the door and said “I told you I was coming for you!” Police said he then slit her throat multiple times with a box cutter before driving off in a black 2008 Ford F150.
The woman was able to get into the lobby of the police station and was given first aid before taken to McLaren Hospital for treatment. She received several stitches and is recovering.
According to police, the truck had a Michigan paper plate of EGK-6770 but said VanAelst may have switched them after the assault.
Vanaelst has a long history of convictions dating back 30 years and has spent several years in prison.

Thoughts? Based on the above article's posting date, VanAelst was still at large at least as of October 15th, 2020. And is if this isn't all horrific enough already, if you watch the video segment in the article the reporter states VanAelst has also allegedly made threats to kill his mother and half-brother. The U.S. Marshal interviewed (who I'm pretty sure has also been on In Pursuit) also thinks VanAelst may try to rob/carjack a victim while on the run.
This guy was allegedly literally inches away from committing a double homicide with an unborn child victim, knowing his ex was pregnant and had a child. He's imo an extreme danger until he's caught.
