AMW Captures Directory (1988-2013)

A few more updates -

AMW Capture #318 - Terry Schermerhorn - In November of 1993,Schermerhorn would murder his wife and then tell the kids she had left the family.
By the time the body was found a month later,he had fled while his kids lost their home.
AMW viewers would lead cops to a hide out in a California national forest.
He would plead guilty to murder and was sentenced to 25 years to life.
After serving nearly 30 years in prison,he was paroled and is now living in San Jose,CA.

AMW Captures #522/#523 - Tracey Lee Poirer and Pamela Kay Trimble - Tracey Lee Poirer was serving a life sentence for a 1990 murder in Oregon when she escaped in August of 1998 with the aid of Pamela Trimble,a former prison guard she had seduced.
They would flee to Rhode Island where AMW viewers would bust them on Sept 28th,1998.
Poirer would originally be sent back to Oregon to serve her LWOP sentence but she is now in a California's women prison with higher security to serve her time.
Trimble was given six months in jail plus restitution and is now a free woman.
In an interview she gave while serving her sentence,she said she did it because she thought she was in love and realized with hindsight that she had made a foolish choice for someone who truly didn't care about her.
She hasn't been in any trouble with the law since.

AMW Captures #508 and #524 - Willie White and Romel Valentino White - Romel was wanted for raping his nephew and also for pimping him out to his friends.
While his parents found out,they tried to intimidate their own daughter and grandchild into not testifying.
The mother would be arrested quickly and when AMW aired the case,Willie White would quickly be arrested in May of 98.
It would take a little longer to get Romel but AMW viewers would bust him in Mexico in Sept of 98.
Willie White would serve a prison term of unknown length and is now a free man.
Romel White however is still serving his prison sentence(I'm unsure how long it is) and has been denied parole numerous times.
It's unlikely his hearing in April of 2020 will be any different.

Wanted to a couple more updates on captures I've mentioned before but with new details.

Found a snapped episode that deals with AMW Capture #500 Amy Dechant(the words in the video are backwords to avoid copyright) and an article that goes with it.
She is still sticking to her story that the mob killed her boyfriend Bruce Weinstein and she simply cleaned up the crime scene afterwards which IMO is a bunch of garbage.
Mob folks that do hits like that don't leave witnesses.
If you watch the episode and read the story,you'll see she is still the same manipulator who killed her boyfriend then got her worker Bobby Wayne Jones(who was AMW Capture#469) to help her dispose of the body and then went on the run until AMW caught her.
Jones got five years for his role in the crime and was released in 2001.
As for Amy I do have to agree with the original verdict being thrown out due to the conduct of the DA and the plea deal that gave her 12- 25 years but as with Margaret Rudin,no way she should have been granted parole as early as she was in 2011.
As it stands now,she is off parole and is at parts unknown.
Pity the next man that falls for her.

As Scumhunter mentioned,AMW Capture #899 Chaka Raysor was sentenced to 17 years in prison after giving a sob story about how he felt remorse and wanted to live a law abiding life after he got out of prison.
Did some more digging and found out that he was never actually convicted of any of the murders committed on behalf of his drug ring,only for possessing and distributing crack cocaine, which under the guidelines he was sentenced carried a sentence of 15 to 20 years so he actually got close to the max.
The fact he tried to get let out of prison early though suggests his remorse isn't genuine and I won't be shocked to see him get into trouble again now that he's been released (as of July 2019 he is out of prison.)
I won't mind being wrong on that though.

Hello plouffe717,

Welcome to the forum, although I'm sorry for the circumstances that brought you here, I'm glad to see you received justice.

Welcome to the forum.
I'm glad you got justice.

More updates!

AMW Capture #632 - Bretley Albert Wilson - The 2000 Oregon 50/50 fugitive,Wilson was serving a three year sentence for bank robbery when he escaped in December of 99.
He would be caught in California within hours of his airing on November 26,2000 and was sent back to Oregon where he was given an additional three years to serve in addition to his prior three year sentence.
He would serve his time and is now out.

AMW Capture #652 - Norman Aaron Thomley - In November of 1996,Thomley was driving drunk in Texas with a blood alcohol content level nearly four times the legal limit.
He crashed into a van killing three people and injuring four others.
Before he could go to trial,a paper work error would accidentally set him free and he took off.
With hours of being profile on AMW in February 2001,he would be busted in MS.
He was sent back to Texas where he was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
He served nearly all of that time and was released from custody.

AMW Capture #671 - Javon "The Joker" Capers - An enforcer for a drug gang,Capers was wanted for shootings in NY and NC that left one person dead and several others injured.
 Tips from AMW viewers would lead cops to Bushwick, New York where he was arrested on May 22,2001.
He would be sentenced to eight years in NY for criminal possession of a weapon and assault and was released from NY custody in May of 2008.
His freedom wouldn't last long though,as North Carolina cops were waiting right outside the prison gates to take him to North Carolina to face a charge of first degree murder.
In 2010,he would be found guilty and sentenced to life without parole.

AMW Capture #819 - Teri Anderson - Anderson was the first unknown female pedophile to be profiled on AMW for sexually abusing children and sharing the photos online.
Within hours of her being broadcast,Anderson's own mother would identify her as the woman in the disgusting photos and that the boys she was abusing were her own two sons.
As it turns out,both Teri and her husband were already in jail for child pornography when her story was aired.
She would serve 12 years in prison before being released and now resides in Montana where she will be required to register as a sex offender the rest of her life.

AMW Capture #820 - Daniel James Farinholt - Farinholt was a technology executive who had been secretly raping a young girl for a decade.
When she finally reported the abuse,Farinholt would attempt to fake his death in a boat crash and take off.
He would flee to Idaho where a woman he was seeing suspected he wasn't who he said he was and went online and found his profile on AMW.Com and turned him in on January 16,2005.
He was sentenced to 12 years in prison but was released after serving seven in 2013.
He is off parole but is required to register as a sex offender until he dies.

AMW Captures #935/#936 - LeaAnn Howard & Byron Keith Perkins - Bryon Perkins would become known as the world's worst father and the most hated man in America for the way he escaped from prison.
And that was by using the promise of a kidney to help his ailing son.
Once he was let outside for tests however,he fled with his girlfriend LeaAnn Howard who was on probation for trying to have her ex-husband murdered.
They would flee to Mexico where AMW viewers busted them in Puerto Vallarta.
Byron Perkins would get 42 years in prison while LeaAnn Howard was able to walk with no jail time for charges of aiding and abetting an escape due to her willing to testify against Perkins after they were caught.
To add insult to injury,that cooperation also ensured she wouldn't be sent to prison for violating her probation on the conspiracy to commit murder she had plead guilty to a couple of years earlier.
Don't know about the rest of you but that makes no sense to me given the fact they were both on tape planning the escape and thus unlike other cases where deals had to be made,there wasn't a need to let a smaller fish go to get the bigger one.
The fact she was able to walk away altogether from this crime as well as her previous ones makes me feel justice wasn't 100% served,Perkins prison term aside.

Updates on more recent captures

AMW Capture #1138 - Kandice M Leonard - A drug addict who kidnapped her daughter in 2007.
In 2009,the daughter was recovered but Leonard remained on the run robbing stores.
Until Jnauary 7th,2011,when an AMW.com viewer led police to her doorstep in FL.
It doesn't appear she got any prison time for the crimes she was alleged to have committed but in 2015,she was busted as part of a drug smuggling ring and was sentenced to three and a half years in prison.
She served that time and was released in late 2018 to early 2019(couldn't find an exact date) but given her continued problems with drugs,it's unlikely this will be the last we hear of her.

AMW Capture #1139 - An Soon Kim - The first human trafficker to be caught by AMW.
Kim would smuggle in or entice young women from South Korea to work in the U.S. by promising them jobs.
Instead,their passports would be taken and they would be forced to work as sex slaves.
AMW would do a special on sex trafficking in November of 2010 and Kim would be one of the people profiled.
A little over a month and a half later,an AMW viewer at the Mohegan Sun Casino in CT would recognize her and alert casino security.
She would be sentenced to three and a half years in federal prison.
Upon her release from prison in 2014,she was deported to South Korea.

AMW Capture #1141 - Loren Clayton Oulman - A convicted sex offender wanted out of Minnesota for numerous counts of child pornography.
During his trial,he would flee all the way to Cambodia but it didn't stop AMW viewers from dropping a dime on him.
He would be arrested on January 24,2011 and sent back to Minnesota.
He was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
I wasn't able to find out how much of that sentence he served before being released(if he was) but I can confirm that he is no longer a threat to children due to his death on April 10,2015 at the age of 76.
Good riddance.

AMW Capture #1151 - Jonathan LaBrada - In March 2010 in Florida,after a night of drinking in Miami Labrada would get into an argument with a bouncer and shoot him to death.
He would flee to Mexico but in May of 2011,AMW viewers would lead cops to his doorstep.
He was deported and sent back to Florida where he pleaded guilty to second degree murder and was sentenced to ten years in prison.
He will be released in 2024.
