Fugitive Profile as of August 24th, 2015: (based on Martinsburg PD website)
Height: 5-8
Weight: 170
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Who to call if you've seen him: Information can be reported to the US Marshals Service at (304) 267-7179, Attn Deputy Mike Ulrich, or the West Virginia State Police at 304 267-0000 or e-mail tips to michael.ulrich@usdoj.gov
Eliseo Merchant-Cruz was charged with Sexual Assault of a Minor in Berkeley County by the West Virginia State Police on an incident at occurred back in December 2007. He u to live on Talisman Drive in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and still has family in the area. Merchant-Cruz did Masonry work for a living. Merchant-Cruz may have fled West Virginia to avoid prosecution.
Thoughts? The above was from the Martinsburg, West Virginia website. Merchant-Cruz was on AMW's old website, although I don't know if he was ever aired on the show itself. The archived profile no longer works, although the short blurb supposed to link to that archived profile does mention California as a possible location for Merchant-Cruz. While Mexico is always a possibility for any fugitive, Merchant-Cruz's line of work would make it easy for him to work off the books in California or elsewhere without being detected.

UPDATE: I no longer see Merchant-Cruz listed on the Martinsburg P.D. website. However, as far as I can tell, he is still at large as of this update (7/21/2018), since I couldn't find anything online suggesting otherwise. Of course, if anyone has any updates/proof-of-updates one way or the other, they are more than welcome to let us know.
