Well I know quick capture can usually mean within the week but it seems they can't even capture a moron teenager that indiscriminately shoots into vehicles and the one capture I thought would be a sure bet I'm even wrong about. I honestly thought he'd be caught in a day. But in fairness the FBI hasn't caught him yet either.
This isn't meant as a criticism of In Pursuit. The episodes are well put together. They picked cases of fugitives with decent direct capture probability (distinctive tattoos facial features etc..) I really wish they were able to simulcast with a big network not on cable or repeat episodes off cable. (Discovery Plus app helps I guess).
I guess it's just bad luck. Aside from not updating their tip form (which has Brian Laundrie but no cases before or after him aside from the first episode of season 3), there's nothing to me that they're doing wrong. Just sucks and is very frustrating the lack of success in Season 3 so far.
I remember even AMW went on cold streaks during the original Fox runs as well though. Not sure what the longest dry spell was though.

I also wanted to add I remember The Hunt had a season where they didn't do so well capture wise because everyone got caught or was found dead after they already wrapped their stories up..so it's a long shot but maybe there are some fugitives who are surprisingly dead but no one knows about it yet (then you have fugitives like William Plemons, Kevin Anderson and Mark Blevins who wouldn't be a surprise if they turned out to be dead). I could even make an argument for Robert Kuehn (suddenly flew off the radar and you'd think his scams would catch up), Daryl Walker (frequents homeless shelters in a time of covid), and even Erik Arceneaux (seems like he would stand out otherwise, I think he's alive, but I could make the argument he's dead at least).
So who knows.
I know I sound like a broken record but I think it's just crummy luck- they picked fugitives with telltale tattoos quirks etc.. a few cold cases but not too many, good variety of types of crimes etc... aside from wishing they'd update the tip form, there's nothing I can be overly critical about and nothing I feel they're doing wrong.
Let's hope we can reverse the curse soon!

So good episode tonight, not going to spoil anything too much except only one of the 15 SOS/Missing child segments wasn't on our forum so there's multiple threads to work on tonight.

Hard to believe but there's only three episodes left. The good news is we got three episodes left when we thought last night would be the possible season finale (imdb only had 10 episodes listed initially), but the bad news is I don't know how else to put it- direct-capture wise this continues to be their least successful season yet. As far as I can tell, the ratings are still good, sometimes cold streaks just happen at the worst time. I do think Jason Hines seems like a pretty recognizable fugitive and actually a pretty easy capture as far as he's concerned (the real concern is whether Sandee's with him or not), but then again I was confident Adarus Black would be a direct capture last week.
Let's keep our fingers crossed for Jason and some foreign direct captures hopefully still possibly in the works.

Another well put together episode. I'm hoping that because the season isn't over yet, we will have at least one direct capture.

Ok once again a good episode and thankfully only one fugitive and one missing child we didn't previously have on our site so In Pursuit caught me a bit of a break today lol.

I also felt that last night’s episode was very good as well. Just wanted to also say that based on his wide variety of charges, Hector Hugo Ramirez is a threat to virtually every single person around him. The same with Sherman Jackson and children. Hopefully both fugitives are apprehended soon.

Zap2it.com currently has "See No Evil" scheduled for November 10th when we thought In Pursuit had an extra episode this season. I'll monitor this as perhaps they didn't have that initially since it seems the episode may have been done last minute.
Be prepared just in case this Wednesday is the season finale instead- although that would still equal the usual run of 12 episodes.

It appears Penelope Mitchell has been recovered since she is no longer on Missingkids.org So even though this is a rough direct capture season the silver lining is this has been a very good season for recovering missing children with three already.
Hopefully Sophie Reeder can be recovered as well. To be honest, I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining, but I was surprised to see she was getting a full profile next week since she was already on the In Pursuit: The Missing pilot, but maybe that episode lead to new leads. (My surprise isn't that they aren't doing a fugitive case but that they're doing a missing child they already sort of fully profiled as opposed to a new missing child case for a full-profile, but once again perhaps they have some new leads and I am not complaining about it).

Due to the confusion over how many episodes we have left and also the fact that a captured but not officially announced as captured fugitive will air on Wednesday I chose to just advertise the next episode is happening this Wendnesday at 10 as opposed to announcing the cases.

Just finished the episode on Discovery Plus
1. There is no mention of Jorge Rico-Ruvira being caught or Osiel being recovered even though we know both happened. I assume they can't edit on the Discovery Plus version and they'll update on the live ID version tonight.
2. John Walsh explained it was the In Pursuit: The Missing Special that inspired him to take on the Sophie case with Callahan. (Instead of Cal being on his own, John was with him on his journey). There was also no new leads per se, but they did expand on clues and call out specific possible persons of interest by name and photo, so yeah there's thankfully a new angle to hopefully locate Sophie alive.
Only one case we didn't have on our site previously, a missing child case, so thankfully I'm once again given a break.
The lingering additional mystery is still not knowing whether or not tonight will be the season finale or not.

In Pursuit confirmed today tonight was the season finale. Not sure what happened as it seemed they were in the process of filming an additional episode (Glen Holmes was going to be one of the fugitives, and a new case was going to be the second), maybe they decided to hold it off until the next season.

Well we can officially call the season over now. Like we said it was a great season production wise but unfortunately we somehow had 0 direct captures out of 24 fully profiled fugitives (I'm counting the Martin Munoz/Marcelo Gomez segment as two fugitives).
It's absolutely baffling because In Pursuit did such a great job considering all the challenges they faced in my opinion, all we can do is hope some foreign captures are in the works- and next season- with vaccinations and all that will allow for an even more expanded availability of cases to profile- will make up for the lack of direct captures from this season.
I promise we will see these shows still work and this season was an aberration and exception to the norm.

Saw the season finale as well. As with virtually all the episodes this season, it was done very well and effectively showed why these cases need to be resolved. I can’t complain about anything really.
If I remember correctly, season three of The Hunt also didn’t have any direct captures. Now In Pursuit is a huge improvement over The Hunt. I also feel the lack of captures was a one-off and we should be optimistic for the future.
