CrimeWatchDaily is doing a wonderful public service by airing stories on unsolved cases, similar to what America's Most Wanted did. The problem is that while plenty of missing person and unsolved murders have been aired (and there's nothing wrong with that), only three major segments on fugitives have been done so far (Harold Knight, Dan Hiers and Jason Derek Brown).
As we've seen with FOX, Lifetime, CNN and the Justice Network, airing dangerous fugitives on TV can result in their apprehension thanks to tips to the public and they are the easiest types of cases for the public to help solve. Missing people and unsolved crimes while they need to be resolved, are not as easy to solve as we saw with AMW. It's sadly not like there's a shortage of dangerous fugitives that could be aired, especially since The Hunt is at this point limited to eight episodes per year. And with the very positive ratings for The Hunt, people do not mind seeing fugitive stories being featured at the same amount compared to other types of unsolved cases.
