TVnewser acknowledged my e-mail so hopefully they'll fix future mistakes. It's an understandable mistake but I want The Hunt's good ratings to be reflected.  Anyway, I have this fear that if John and/or Julianne Dimitrion are captured as a result of The Hunt this week, people are going to be disappointed because it wasn't Robert Fisher and will comment "great, but I wish it was Fisher instead". You can obviously not compare the crimes, despite what scumbags the Dimitrions are and how inexcusable the cons they already plead guilty to are, allegedly killing your family and slitting your children's throat is by my admission worse than most other crimes possible. However, the Dimitrions still destroyed people's dreams, life savings, etc... It will still be a great capture if they're captured before Fisher. We'll just have to hope weeks or months down the road Fisher will be caught as well. |

Well the Fisher segment made him to look like a loose cannon and very agressive, also a strong anti communist. But I feel after Fishers sister Jean giving that emotional plea to get Fisher to turn himself in as their parents won't live too long is very telling, honestly it would get me to turn myself in if I were in Fisher's shoes.
Now it changes does it mean he will be caught or surrender? I dunno time will tell.
Now the Dimitrions segment, honestly The Hunt did a good job in putting it into perspective how such scumbag con artists they are. John and Julieanne bought these luxury cars and fancy clothing to make themselves look good and feel like they have a lot of power, they are something they're not, and Look the family whose grandmother passed away and promised to keep the home, I feel so bad for them because that house was their pride and joy, and had no way of buying the property back.

The Fisher segment was perfect. Only a half-hour but it felt complete. They didn't stretch it out unnecessarily just because it was a tragic case. They got right into it and the fact the family was murdered right away. (I also think part of the reason The Hunt only did a half-hour on Fisher was if it turned out he was dead anyway they "wasted" an entire hour- by fitting another fugitive case they increased the odds of at least one (or two or three depending) direct captures off the episode.) If they had added another fugitive to the Shane Miller episode then him being dead likely already anyway wouldn't have mattered as much.
Also, the Dimitrions was a good segment although I felt the part about how they escaped was kind of rushed and there wasn't a lot of discussion as far as potential clues. It was still cool to see The Hunt do a con artist case as opposed to their usual type of case however.
Now it's time for a 2-week withdrawal. Please conventions don't riot!

Also I wanted to add that as much disrespect as I had for the Palmer brothers the previous week, I had tons of sympathy for Fisher's sister in this case.
Anyone can have a relative or family member who goes off the deep end and becomes wanted for murder. You could tell how conflicted she was. How she didn't want to believe it but had to at least consider her own brother killed his family. I sort of am purposely ambiguous as I used to go into more detail on this site but I can relate because I too had a similar situation happen in my family.
I view Fisher's sister as sympathetic and perhaps even a little naive especially to her brother's nature because of her religious upbringing. I hate that some people were criticizing her on Twitter because she was nothing like the Palmer brothers. It's hard for any family member to accept one of their own flesh and old could have committed the worst sin imaginable. She didn't blame Mary Fisher or the children. All she said was how hard a time she was having with everything that happened. She seems like a good, religious person.

I agree Fisher's sister Jean didn't put any blame on Mary, she may seemed to be backing Robert a bit but that's her brother she has lived with him since they were kids she is the one that knows Robert's history and knows he's far from perfect, but acknowledged the fact that he just happened to snap, but the part that sticks with me is at the end when she urged Robert to turn himself in, basically bringing up their parents was very touching and that's one of many reasons of why the Fisher segment was just perfect.
Now the Dimitrions I felt the segment was rushed too, and also that's the first time they revealed the anti government group that smuggled them out of Hawaii and now that they mentioned it, I believe they are hiding the Dimitrions and paying for their life on the run.

They mentioned the group on the CNBC show "American Greed" but went into more detail on that show.

In all honesty I really don't watch American Greed so if explains why that bit of information is new to me.
But their escape wasn't really explained in a lot of detail on The Hunt.

This is one of my main gripes on The Hunt as much as I love the show is that while I feel like they do a better job than AMW at telling the story and about the fugitive's background, AMW in some ways did a better job when it came to tips and clues. They had to cram everything into like a 10 minute segment so they had to fit as much as they could. I've seen way too many Hunt episodes where granted the victim's thoughts and everything else needs to be said as well, but it's like 58 minutes telling the story and 2 minutes of only glossing over clues. (Yaser Said's episode was somewhat like that).
I don't like that they glossed over the Sovereign Citizens or whatever it was called in favor of telling more story because I felt it was a significant factor that may help find the Dimitrions. We get that the Dimitrions destroyed people's lives, but we want to catch them as well.

The following are casting calls for episodes "307 and 308" of The Hunt which will be likely season 4 cases. Obviously I recognize one case- "Harold" as likely Harold "Butch" Knight. Also the jacked body builder has to be Andre Neverson since 6'2 and 240 is his exact height and weight. Not sure about the Hispanic fugitive wanted for murder and also sexual conduct with minors apparently just yet... www.mandy.com/procasting/347441/the_hunt_with_john_walsh_episodes__307__308/ |

P.S. Nothing against season 3 as hopefully it produces good results, but I am really liking the case selections for season 4 so far and wish it wasn't until likely next July for the next season to happen.

I hope the fugitive wanted for murder and child rape is Pablo "El Padrino" Pinto-Mata.

I checked and the height, weight, etc.. matches up with Mata. So looks like it's him, good looking out there!

CNN originals tweeted that The Hunt is returning in August (which would mean August 7th) so looks like it's a three-week hiatus instead of a 2-week hiatus. Frustrating, but it's election season, what can ya do. Gives a few of us time to catch up on episodes 1-4

Yikes, apparently The Hunt isn't returning until August 14th. Wow, that's a long way to go. I hope they don't wind up competing against football as that would put the season finale at September 5th. (I'd rather have a fugitive captured than not captured but now there's a new concern for me that another case can get resolved before The Hunt gets a chance to air it- it's not the capture that's the problem but the fact that with advance notice a still at large case could have filled the slot- I don't think Bruce Sawhill and Herbert Maldonado were supposed to air in season 2 but the capture of Matthew Dion opened an episode up for them).
