Thought this would be a unique idea for a thread- a listing of the different iterations of AMW/John Walsh shows and who was the first fugitive John Walsh profiled in each show:
Original AMW (1988)- David James Roberts (murderer/serial rapist on FBI top ten list- caught- direct result)
AMW: America Fight's Back (1996- after original AMW cancellation)- Alan Eugene White (murder of woman and child- caught- direct result)
AMW on Lifeime (2011)- Margaret Smith (murder for hire of her husband- still at large)
The Hunt with John Walsh (2014)- Shane Miller (triple murder/family annihilator- found deceased)
In Pursuit with John Walsh (2019)- Luis Frias (brutal murder of ex-wife in front of children- caught- direct result)
America's Most Wanted (2021 reboot/joined in 2024)- Luis Herrera-Ramirez and Andrea “Vanessa” Ramirez (child molestation and abduction- caught in Mexico- direct result(s))
So as you can see, with the exception of Margaret Smith (and Luis and Andrea Ramirez but it's really not fair to count them as not successfully captured just yet when they just debuted)- we can see John's incredible success rate. Also what I really like about this new season is that Luis and Kahmila Ramirez is the first time John's first case isn't a murder case- but is still a terrible case deserving of being the first one he tackles (and Cal as well!). Hopefully that will be a capture soon as well, but regardless we can see John Walsh usually gets results from the get go! (Update: Luis Herrera-Ramirez and Andrea Ramirez now caught as seeming direct results as well!)
