The previous AMW Captures Directory was so flooded with posts and responses that it wasn't worth having all the previous captures described in the first 2 pages and picking up 10, 20, or 30 pages later. Which is why I'm requesting that if there's anything to add, comments should be posted in that thread to avoid breaking up the directory here, since I doubt individual posts can be transplanted from one topic to another.
EDIT FROM SITE ADMIN: The below capture directory information is not an official management posting and is being updated by a member of the forum based on their following of the show. If there are proof of any inaccuracies, please e-mail the website contact form (whining and complaining that one of the fugitives who is your father, cousin etc... is on here and it's unfair because they were innocent or "not the monster they were made out to be" does not count as inaccuracies (unless they were found innocent in court), but anything about what they were wanted for, how much time they received etc... may apply). Here is the link to the website contact form: amwfans.com/board/33/website-contact-form
Additional note from site admin: By our count, AMW had officially taken credit for 1204 captures when it was cancelled by Lifetime after 2012. Oddly, AMW retroactively retracted the capture counter back to 1186 when it was revived in 2021. We are not sure why, but below is why we made a new capture directory to reflect the new number of captures taken credit for after the 2021 debut.
Now that we have a direct capture from AMW's March '021 revival, now is a better time than ever to launch the next phase to this directory.
Philip Michael Dent, Capture #1187-B, Mrc. 18, 2021
A carjacker out of the Columbine Valley district of Littleton, Colorado. 4 days before February 2021, he was caught on tape walking up to a minivan, in the middle of a car wash enclosure, and attempting to yank out a circa 1957 born woman. She fought back, and shortly after Dent bit her, he got the upper hand and took off, but her injuries were thankfully not considered serious. He was busted at a hotel in either Littleton or Denver, 3 days after AMW was reintroduced with Elizabeth Vargas as the replacement host. AMW acknowledged the direct capture on social media a week later. He was later sentenced to 8 years in prison and change, with a projected release date in 2029 at the latest, but he's eligible for parole in 2025. However, Vargas' capture counter left out 18 previous captures, bringing the total down to 1186 when it re-premiered and making Dent the replacement Capture #1187. Our position tentatively says that all the 1204 captures AMW had going up to June 2013 still stand for the most part, but we'll have problems of some kind with the numbering for a while.
Alison Gracey (RELEASED) and Christopher Jones, Capture #1188-B / #1189-B, Apl. 9, 2021
Two British nationals who operated a charter boat in Key Largo, Florida named Get Wet. In 2011, the boat they they were suspected of recklessly captaining took on water, capsized, and sank within 2 minutes. A novice scuba diver who was visiting on holiday was killed, another diver was badly injured but recovered, and 4 other guests survived with minimal wounds. Various Dutch authorities captured them on St. Maarten, in the Caribbean, around June 2015, and confiscated their passports, but also released them on bond, their lawyer and the courts both underestimating the flight risk. That September, the court voted no on their request to forbid extradition, but due to a jurisdictional mishap, they exploited a loophole and applied for replacement passports from Britain, where a court voted yes. But before anyone could bring them back to Florida, the two had moved far away, most likely to France. Four days after the 4-05-021 broadcast of the AMW revival, tips pinpointed them in Madrid, Spain. But it took a while before they were back on United Statish soil, and the laws let them off easy; Because of another legal technicality, Gracey was only facing up to 8 years in prison, and Jones was facing a single decade. In mid September 2021, the extradition proceedings against Gracey went through, and in January 2022, Gracey and Jones were back on US soil. They pled guilty in late May 2022, and in September, Gracey was sentenced to time served after 1 1/2 year with one more year of supervised release, and Christopher was sentenced to 4 1/4 years in prison and 3 years of supervised release. Both will be deported once their terms conclude, and it's generally agreed justice wasn't served.
Maurice "Mega Ruckus" Nesbitt, Capture #1190-B, Apl. 19, 2021
An amateur rapper, and possible gang banger, drug runner, and sex slave trafficker, who constantly earned mockery for his pathetic attempts to look tough. His last relationship started in 2008, with him constantly beating up his girlfriend and breaking her spirits. In 2014, she fled to an apartment complex in southwestern Atlanta, hoping to end the violent relationship, but Nesbitt shot her to death, after which her mother discovered the body the next morning. He was initially arrested and charged soon after, but a Georgia state law placed a 3 month time limit on the courts to return an indictment, after which their hands got tied and they let him out with an ankle monitoring bracelet on a technicality. In 2016, Nesbitt was apparently under the impression that he had cancer, and could've never gotten proper treatment for it in jail, but a loophole in Georgia's court procedure laws placed Nesbitt above the burden of proof, after which he absconded from another court date, got arrested again, and severed his ankle monitoring bracelet. He didn't go to court in October 2017 when his conviction was read, and was sentenced to life in prison in absentia soon after. In the winter of 2019, his case was introduced on In Pursuit With John Walsh, and was also profiled on the 4-12-2021 episode of AMW. It seems AMW, In Pursuit and Crime Stoppers all received tips in the aftermath and all took credit for Nesbitt as a direct capture. Despite a couple days' worth of confusion over this fact, the important thing was that a tipster did the right thing and ended a particularly agonizing 7 year wait for justice.
Unknown fugitive, most likely Raymond Samuel J McLeod, Capture #1191-B, Ags. 29, 2022
In the early winter of 2024, the new decade's revival of America's Most Wanted progressed its capture counter to 1191, but without officially naming the fugitive that was 1191. Although we are not 100 percent sure, we are assuming it was likely Raymond McLeod since he was captured after his AMW revival airing. McLeod was a bodybuilder on the US Marshals' 15 Most Wanted, with an unprecedented 50 Grand reward attached, whom John Walsh advised anyone who saw him to run away from as fast as possible. He was wanted for the murder of an English teacher in San Diego back in 2016 by strangling her and breaking her neck, followed by the similar murder of a man in Central America. He was busted teaching a school in El Salvador.
Davie Albarran, #1192-B, Fbr. 18, 2024
One of Osceola County's most wanted. This sex offender was wanted for harming at least two young girls and his daughter, who reached out on social media after the warrant was issued in December 2022. By New Year's Eve, going into 2023, at least 20 people came forward with complaints. It was also reported that Albarran was only 17 years old when he impregnated his daughter's mother-to-be at 13 years old! He was busted near the shed of his sister's property in Lakeland, Florida, after his profile on the February 12 broadcast of 2024's revival of America's Most Wanted with John Walsh having returned as host and Callahan Walsh serving as co-host, having been tracked through his cell phone. The sister and a man who tried to help him flee justice were arrested alongside him.
Tahje Akhalid Michael, #1193-B, Fbr. 27, 2024
In July 2022, after an alleged account that another man at a Sacramento night club suggested Michael was wearing a fake watch, he was suspected of opening fire. The casualty toll was 1 dead, 4 wounded. The mortal victim was a high school football coach with expertise in special education, having worked there after he retired as a college football athlete. He was named as a suspect between the summer of 2023 and the beginning of 2024. Roughly a month after the 1-29-024 broadcast of John and Callahan's revived AMW, he was busted in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Jacob Dean Smart, #1194-B, Fbr. 26, 2024
A known drug user and serial stalker out of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, suspected of a bare minimum of 25 disturbances. His M.O. was to follow his soon-to-be victims to match them with their homes, steal guns and panties, and return to these homes to make his victims fearful. He was busted in Kalama, Washington, running across Interstate 5 and engaging the SWAT team in a short standoff, before he could injure either any women or any law enforcement. Social media pages spread the credit to armchair detectives beyond just the tipster. It may have looked silly by comparison to most cases profiled on the show, but many commentators have noted that his type of crime is how many prolific serial killers have gotten their starts.
David DeWayne "Khaos" Young, #1195-B, Mrc. 9, 2024
A drug conspirator for the Ghost Face Gangsters, a prison gang operating out of northern and central Georgia. In the centuries-old picturesque village of Brunswick, investigators started noticing an uptick in overdose deaths in 2020, at least nine of them that year. This drug conspiracy was blamed for 3 overdose deaths from 2020 to 2022, and the Ghost Face Gangsters were described as just one of far too many similar drug gangs plaguing the southeastern United States. By 2021, Young had prior arrests dating back to 2002, had shipped several kilos of crank from Atlanta to Brunswick, and helped the queenpin set up operations in Jacksonville, Florida. By the end of 2022, he was named among 75 others in a mass indictment, breaking the Southern District of Georgia's record. He was aired on the 2-19-024 broadcast with John and Callahan, and busted in Hermosilio, Sonora, Mexico 3 weeks later, with a grayish beard and looking far older than in the picture provided by the FBI.
Luis Alberto G Herrera-Ramirez Sr and Andrea Vanessa Ramirez, #1196-B / #1197-B, Apl. 11, 2024 at the latest
The season 27 debut couple. Wanted out of Arizona since May 2018 for the abduction of their children, "Luisito" Ramirez Jr and Kahmila Ramirez by attacking a service worker with a stun gun. Herrera-Ramirez Sr was indicted in absentia for sexual exploitation and child pornography production in May 2019. They were busted in Aguascalientes, Mexico, where they'd been living for years, with the children recovered safely.
