And yeah I feel really good about the chances of direct captures from tonight's episode. Even Mark Blevins I don't think is uncatchable despite the passage of time. And Dreaun Young was a good choice for 15 seconds of shame as well. (Caris Ayala will probably be the toughest to catch but you never know). I think Dreaun Young or Erik Arceneaux will go down first, Mark Blevins is a disgusting human being and the worst pedophile I have seen on a crime show. Mark Blevins prospects of getting caught are an interesting one because he may have been thinking in the back of his mind, that with the lack of attention to his case he won’t be found, and now that he’s been aired on a national crime show for the first time, it puts him on notice and he’ll likely turn himself in somewhere or someone is going to recognize him from the age progressed image they showed. Caris Ayala is going to be harder to find given she’s been on the run the longest, but I hope they consider doing a full profile next year if she’s not caught soon. |

Technically Blevins has been on the run the longest just feels like Ayala would be the hardest since she's likely in her native country where she can blend in and extradition would be difficult.
And yeah In Pursuit has better luck with "unknown" cases sometimes specifically because they catch the fugitive by surprise with them thinking they're not really being searched for or searched for that seriously and having to improv a game plan while other cases are more high-profile at least on the local if not national level and the fugitive has or had already developed a game plan for hiding and had a head start.

The west coast showing has now aired and no updated tip form yet. Hopefully this is corrected tomorrow to at least reflect the 8/18 cases for the menu.

I just watched last night's episode and season three has started off very strong! The episode made it really clear as to why Eric Arceneaux and Mark Blevins need to go down to get justice for the victims and their families. Callahan did his part very effectively as well and I'm glad to see that he has been able to do his role with these stories.

Another note, me and HeadMarshal were discussing privately if there may only ten episodes this season since there was only ten episodes we could find information on (I'll admit now I purposely hold back knowing some info and some fugitives who will be aired since sometimes episodes get switched around- I want to wait for the official tvguide announcements). Even though press releases say 12 episodes, IMDB only has 10 episodes listed for this season (they don't list the cases, just the scheduled airings). So it is possible that perhaps this is a Covid-shortened season. Still, if you count the return of AMW, whether that was temporary or not, that gives us 15 national tv fugitive-episodes in one year, which is the most the Hunt's sole HLN season in 2017 where they did 16 episodes, and seeing as they sometimes only aired one case, this will be the most fugitives aired on national tv in one year since 2012. So still not too shabby!
Hopefully Season 4 will be 12 episodes instead of 10.

One thing I would like In Pursuit to do is have a new season every 6 months, I know realistically this may be difficult, but while I love the show, this is something I would suggest to better the show, as it will air more cases within a span of a years rather than wait a year for a new season. I understand the fact that it took over a year for Season 3 to come out. |

Yeah I think this is what I was trying to explain as to why I- perhaps surprising to some- wasn't that thrilled when AMW came back. Don't get me wrong I was still happy it was back- but I had finally moved on from its cancelation and The Hunt only doing one case an episode and only having 8 episode seasons and felt In Pursuit was finally the formal AMW successor with at least four fugitive cases an episode and more than eight episodes. AMW is/was no longer as needed to me anymore, and my only complaint was wishing In Pursuit had more than 12 (or in this case possibly ten) episodes a season.
Also wanted to stress I still hope AMW comes back as well. Just I consider it a cherry topping now as opposed to being desperate for it.

Well, what are the odds that those two episodes missing from Season 3, in the event they've shortened it, just get effectively transplanted to a later season?

I also want to stress it is possible this season may be 12 episodes after all, but based on imdb, don't be surprised if it is only 10.

They finally added last week's cases to the tip form. It seems they'll wait until after the new episodes air to update the forms, which I think is a good move as to not spoil anything, as long as they actually remember to update the tip form right away lol.

epsidoe 2 now available on Discovery plus. Episode 1 wasn't available until noon but I assume that's because it was the premiere. It seems episodes 2-10 (or 2-12 if there is 12 episodes after all) will be available at the very least at midnight PST.

Ok finished the episode. Without being too spoiler-y before everyone else gets a chance, Kuehn segment was very weird and bizarre- but also kind of concerning since in my opinion even though he's only wanted for questioning in a suspicious death- his M.O. of finding older women to allegedly take advantage of where one winds up dead sounds like potential of a repeat offender/serial killer.
The Ontiveros segment was outraging and even John Walsh was very outspoken about what he thought of him- which although this was common during his AMW days and The Hunt days- he'd toned it down somewhat for In Pursuit as he was in more of a cable presenter role.
I think this is what people missed in the new AMW was Walsh's passion for catching bad guys- and they enjoyed when he would call fugitives cowards, dirtbags, scumbags etc... Some didn't like Vargas's more matter-of-fact presenting which we pointed out was an unfair criticism as Vargas was a professional journalist and as such wouldn't talk like that... whereas Walsh as a victim's advocate, has more leeway to be outspoken. (Not a criticism of either one- obviously Walsh calling fugitives what they are is something I'll for and love and I grew up watching him do so- but I also thought Vargas's professionalism saved what would have otherwise been telling flaws in the new AMW).
Also, I don't mean this in a negative way but Cal's gotten so much better since Season 1, where he was still good, but he's coming more and more into his own, and it's great to see.

Actually I shared my thoughts in the threads themselves but John Walsh was right to call Ontiveros a weasel and I have a very good feeling about direct capture chances considering his numerous telling tattoos and other quirks.
Robert Kuehn in theory will be a more difficult capture as he's more of a mysterious figure with the multiple aliases and few photos but he's also the type of guy who could arouse suspicion so you never know and he could be a surprise direct capture.
