John William Ed Childers, #300, Apl 16, 1994 At the time he went on the run, he was over a half century old, and his common-law wife, Laure Catherine Green, was 3 decades of junior. She had lived a miserable life, from which the beginning of this relationship was the only respite. By 1983, their marriage was on the rocks, riddled with screaming matches. That November, he fatally stabbed her in the head and dumped her body in a septic tank in North Fort Myers, Florida. His then 5 year old son witnessed the murder and ran out into the street screaming. Around January 1984, he met a woman in Memphis, Tennessee, in a dance hall, and in 1986, he moved in with her to SE Arkansas where he started a mobile home rental business. His 2nd broadcast in early November 1993 flushed him out of Arkansas, and cops knew that, within the preceding decade, he'd contracted asthma, emphysema, diabetes, and hypertension. The FBI was unsatisfied with the identity he provided, and unwittingly let Childers go before the fingerprints could be matched to his 1975 arrest for aggravated assault in St. Augustine, Florida. His 3rd broadcast the next week chased him out of a motel in Prattville, Alabama. From there, he fled to Montgomery, traded in his RV, then checked into another motel. The 4th broadcast drove him out just a few hours before cops could arrive. The 5th broadcast, around Christmas 1993, led detectives to check various medication databases, and traced his insulin meds to Jacksonville, Florida, where he proposed to a woman born in circa 1923. In April 1994, he missed his 7th broadcast, and was busted outside her home after a night of dancing in another ballroom. He was tired of running, but denied killing Greene. His verdict was unknown, but he faced 1/4 century to life if he was spared the death penalty.

Ralph Solomon, #248, Apl 30, 1993 In Louisville, Kentucky, he raped and sodomized his own daughter from 1978 to 1985, starting when she was 4 years old. He fled his preliminary hearing in June 1987. The victim wrote a 6-page letter to America's Most Wanted, which revitalized the case against him, in hopes of rebuilding bonds with her mother, who'd recently moved to Alabama. He was busted at his workplace in Giles County, Tennessee, where he'd lived since circa 1989, only 3 hours after his airing Read more: amwfans.com/thread/193/amw-official-captures-directory?page=17#ixzz5LZmqIE8wI found a webpage on Ralph Solomon, He now Kentucky Sex Offenders OFFENDERS Login Or Sign Up 800-849-2878 ABOUT US HOW IT WORKS PLANS & PRICING F.A.Q.

Thomas "Possum" Dixon, #56, Jly 5, 1989 Details on his case are uncertain, but it's likely that, in 1987, he stabbed his ex-wife to death in Alabama. A woman in Alvin, Texas may have recognized him cutting carpets for her window tinting business by his pair-of-cherries tattoo on his left arm, and FBI agents may have busted him 2 days after that.

Update on Eric Franklin Rosser (AMW capture #680 and former FBI top tenner)- He was apparently released from prison in Indiana and January 2017 (sentenced to 16 years, longest available for child pornography at the time) and moved to Yakima, Washington. In July of 2017. However, there was apparently an incident where he was riding on a bus to Montana and was caught viewing child porn on a bus to Montana by a fellow passenger. (Rosser apparently told the passenger "leave me alone, I know I have a problem." Rosser apparently went on the run again- although I'm confused by the article as to whether it was before or after the bus incident but in November of 2017 he was sentenced to 2 years for violating his supervised release. Earlier this month, Rosser (who apparently was eventually located) plead guilty in a U.S. District Court on a charge of accessing the internet with the intent to view child pornography. He faces a mandatory 10 years in prison when he is sentenced in January. A previous child pornography conviction with ties to Thailand and Indiana could lead to a sentence of up to 20 years. www.foxnews.com/entertainment/john-mellencamps-former-keyboardist-eric-franklin-rosser-pleads-guilty-to-child-porn-after-fbi-manhunt |

I have "possible information" on Carlton Stroud (AMW Capture #127). According to Newspapers.com, I found a 1973 article where a "Carlton Stroud" was found guilty for shooting and wounding a St. Louis pharmacy owner. The name doesn't appear to be very common but judging by the year, if this is the same Carlton Stroud, then it probably wasn't the crime he went on the run for.

I also have possible information on Ernie Lopez (Capture #369). While checking newspapers.com for articles on Tyrom Thies of all cases, I came across a May 10, 1995 wanted bulletin for a "Ernesto Jose Lopez". He was accused of killing two teenage girls during a drive-by shooting in Avondale, Arizona in March of 1995. This may or may not be the same case, but could very well be based on the capture state and the date of the capture.

Vincent Duane Martin, #432, Spt 17, 1996 A meth trafficker from the New Mexico prairie. He was notorious for brutally punishing his manufacturers via physical torture. In December 1995, cops stormed his trailer, confiscating some guns, vehicle ID change plates, weed, and 1/4 pound of meth. After making bail, he vowed to find out who set him up and retaliate. In January 1996, he and an accomplice kidnapped a woman from a party and shot her to death because he was falsely convinced she was the snitch. At first, no-one even knew the victim's last name... except her daughters, who knew something was amiss when she didn't show up for a critical family reunion. In June, buzzards led a farmer to her body. He was busted in New York.

I was just curious, I didn't start watching America's Most Wanted until 2005 at the least so I was just wondering if Joe Garcia was capture #644 then what numbers were the others such as Newbury, Halprin, Rodriguez, and Murphy? |

All the captures should be on page 1 (and Newbury and Murphy on page 2) if you just hit ctrl f and search for the names. I can't recall all 7 off-hand except AMW took credit for 5 of them in 2001 but for some reason waited until 2008 to take credit for Newbury and murphy.

AMW took credit for Joseph Garcia, George Rivas, Michael Rodriguez, Larry Harper and Randy Halprin in 2001, but Donald Newbury and Patrick Murphy weren't credited until 2008.
My guess? They didn't consider Newbury and Murphy direct captures since they weren't found at the trailer park with the other five. They found them holed up in a hotel a day or two later.
AMW was really screwy and inconsistent with how they counted direct captures. For instance, they consider Danny Moran a direct capture, but his daughter, Rebecca, is not a direct recovery because she was in another place when she was located.

I sgree, Sometime AMW always forgot to mark fugitives where the their capture is direct result or indirect, I believe Danny Moran capture is a direct result capture, I wondered what date he was capture? |

I think the other reason was AMW was getting thisclose to capture #1,000 and of course as Murphy's Law would have it (no pun intended), that was exactly when they started to have a capture drought, so they started to look in the past to see if they could take credit for previous captures so they could finally get to 1,000 captures. |
