JONES COUNTY, Miss. (WDAM) - The Jones County Sheriff’s Department is asking for the public’s help locating a man wanted for sex crimes against children.
David Blackwell, 30, is wanted on charges of molestation and sexual battery.
The sheriff’s department said in a news release that the alleged victims are two girls under the age of 10.
According to JCSD, Blackwell has shown a “propensity for violence” in previous encounters with law enforcement.
Blackwell has been listed in the FBI’s National Crime Information System to make other law enforcement agencies across the nation aware of his wanted status.
If you have any information regarding Blackwell’s location, you are asked to contact the Jones County Sheriff’s Department at 601-425-3147 or Jones County Crime Stoppers at 601-428-7867.

Thoughts? As of this posting date (May 27th, 2021), there is still a posting on the Jones County Sheriff's Department Facebook page that is yet to be edited or updated with any news of a capture.

I'd also like to add that based on a 2017 article I found, in my opinion, this guy shouldn't have been out in the first place. Blackwell arrested and charged with allegedly beating his seven-months pregnant girlfriend. The article also mentions several cases, although no prior felonies, and a 2015 incident where he escaped work detail while serving time on a misdemeanor in Wayne County, Mississippi. He was riding in a car with Maggie Easterling after his escape when deputies motioned for Easterling to stop the car. Blackwell motioned for her to try to get away from the deputies when they tried to stop her, and while trying to escape, she crashed and was pinned underneath the car. She died while Blackwell fled in the woods.
Easterling’s family said at the time that she had been the victim of abuse at the hands of Blackwell and they, along with the family of Mary-Elizabeth Thigpen, started an Internet petition that reads: “David Blackwell must be held accountable with crimes (against) Mary-Elizabeth Thigpen and Maggie Easterling and their children/David Thomas Blackwell Must Not Walk Free Justice Must Be Served.” The page has more than 1,200 supporters.
(Edit: Mary Elizabeth Thigpen was normally the name of another girlfriend he allegedly assaulted before he was sent to the work detail. Nornally I wouldn't out a victim's name in the story but it's in the petition itself so I'm assuming it's ok).
Blackwell then fled to Kentucky where he as said to have faced several charges including assault on a police officer.
Apparently, Blackwell was never charged with Maggie Easterling's death despite the viral campaign since I can't find anything online, either that or he got a slap on the wrist, but I also wanted to include with the link to an article another photo of Blackwell since it is different from the one above. He is bald in the photo and it is a little less blurry than the photo in articles.
