 (Above photo credit: Mississippi Department of Public Safety website) Fugitive Profile as of September 11th, 2015: (Based on Mississippi DPS website, AMW archives) Full Name: William Dewey Kittrell Race: White Sex: Male Height: 6'1" Weight: 185 Hair: Brown Eyes: Blue DOB: May 29th, 1943 (72 years old) Last Known Address: 18125 Highway 42, State Line, Mississippi Additional Quirks:-Probably has a beard -Has family in the State Line, MS area -Is a farmer -Runs cattle -Has worked on offshore oil rigs in Louisiana -May be on the run with a girlfriend -Is a smoker -Is very controlling -Frequents rodeos and livestock auctions Who to call if you've seen him: Based on wanted location, our advice would be to call the Greene County Sheriff's Office (Mississippi) at (601) 394-2342 William Dewey Kittrell was aired as a break-four tease on the February 1st, 2003 episode of America's Most Wanted. Mississippi FBI agents say William Kittrell murdered his estranged wife, Glenda, on June 1, 1999. They say Kittrell ambushed her outside of her residence as she was coming home from work. She was shot and killed with a high-powered rifle. In March of 1999, before the murder, Kittrell allegedly abducted Glenda and took her into the woods surrounding her home. There, they say, he showed her a grave and told her should would soon be in it. On that day, Glenda was able to convince her husband to release her, by promising to work things out with him. Agents say Kittrell disappeared the day his wife was murdered. Thoughts? I can't find much online, but according to the Websleuths message board there was a wanted poster (link no longer works for it) that mentions the possibility of Kittrell living in Washington state. Apparently the wanted poster was updated to include Venice, Louisiana as a possible location. In addition, Kittrell is said to have children. I feel part of the reason Kittrell may be hard to locate is he obviously has no problem living in the boondocks, and could be living a relatively quiet life with a woman in a small town. Wish AMW didn't suddenly remove him from their website for unknown reasons a few years back since this case still appears to be active. web.archive.org/web/20030613013951/http://amw.com/amw.htmlwww.dps.state.ms.us/william-dewey-kittrell/www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?136219-MS-Glenda-Faye-Hicks-Kittrell-murdered-in-1999Admin Note: If you have any news-related updates on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-form |

As of 1/22/2018, Kittrell is still listed as at large on the Mississippi Department of Public Safety website. (Same link as in the OP).

William Kittrell was a fugitive that would have been a good choice for at least one APB profile. It would be better than nothing to have him on the FBI's website if the FBI is still involved in this manhunt.

Okay, I have some very bizarre information according to PACER.
Apparently an Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution warrant was issued for William on Apr 3, 2001. However, the case was closed on July 10, 2003 because he was determined to be deceased.
I only have a short bit of docket text in the PACER search, none of the actual documents that would go into more detail about this. I do have to wonder why William was listed on the Mississippi Department of Public Safety website for long after 2003 if this is the case. Do they not have the body but have evidence that he did die?
Any clarity on this development would be appreciated.

I'm guessing they do have his body. He probably was a John Doe that they didn't identify for a long time.

You would think AMW would update considering they were on the air for nearly a decade after they aired Kittrell. There is additional proof Kittrell may be dead since there's a genelogy page listing him as being at County Line Cemetery in Mississippi on a genealogy page- although they only list his birth date and no date of death: genealogytrails.com/miss/wayne/cemeteries/countyline.htmlBut you'd think there'd be some news somewhere. Not to make this sound like a competition but even Websleuths posters were talking about this case like Kittrell was still at large as late as 2011. So this is weird. I'd say it's more likely than not he's dead, but like official confirmation would be nice. |

Any clarity on this development would be appreciated. There's a couple things weird about that. Firstly, that's just five months after AMW profiled him. Secondly, Kittrell was added to amw.com at some point after the redesign. But then he was taken off without any explanation (this was years before AMW started purging cases before the site shut down for good). Who knows about this case? |
