I would agree Fisher would do better in warm weather- or at the very least a mid to large-size city with plenty of doctors around for his back issues.

I don’t wanna sound like a conspiracy theorist or anything of that sort, but while searching for vacation areas in the Rockies and I came across uhoh...... North Idaho. For those that don’t know North Idaho has a very tumultuous history with the Ruby Ridge Standoff, and being an area that has a lot of White Supremacists and Anti-Government types. Now there is no evidence as far as we know that Fisher is involved with people like this, but he may have used a fake name and a fake reason (likely tax evasion or weapons charges) to go to North Idaho and live a life to where he could be left alone, unless there are individuals who may know who he is and what he did, it would be extremely gross if those fringe factions are actively harbouring him. I think Fisher would be hiding there only because he knows he can be left alone there. It may explain why Fisher has been able to stay on the run for this long IMO. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_Panhandle |

It's not far fetched if you consider FBI fraud fugitives John and Julianne Dimitrion allegedly used a militia group to transport them from Hawaii to Georgia. Not a bad theory!

What I think may help is giving every chiropractor in the United States a pamphlet on this guy. We do know he took Percocet painkillers, too, so I wouldn’t rule out putting him in medical journals, either. Doctors are much more apt to “doctor shopping”, and if he is seeking painkillers, odds are some doctor may recognize him as a repeat customer.
I agree with Scumhunter that he’s likely in an area where plenty of doctors are around.

Question: there is some strong circumstantial evidence that Robert may have been assisted by a woman in his flight. Does anyone know whether they have an idea who this woman is? What I am referring to is the incident where the night after Robert left the home, a man in a fedora went into a local bar while a woman with him went into the bathroom and vomited. The person ordered the same drink that Robert preferred (a Johnnie Walker Red). Never proven to be him, but it is curious.

I remember them mentioning it but I don't think it was ever found out who the woman was- I guess we have to depend on how reliable the eyewitness was.

What I'd like to know about the bar though to determine how credible the sighting was is if it was normally full of locals or if there's a lot of customers they never see again. Seeing it's in the middle of nowhere, I feel it would pretty common to see someone and never see someone again as it's likely a road trip destination. However if it's more of a local vibe, it does put up more of a red flag if this woman seen with a man possibly resembling Fisher is never seen again.

I just saw Michael Alfonso’s case on “I Almost Got Away With It.” If Fisher has indeed slipped into Mexico, I cannot imagine that his situation is much different from Alfonso’s. I’m guessing Robert is constantly on the move and living in a poor state. I remember when FBI Agent Robert Caldwell was interviewed in 2011, he implied he felt he had come close to getting Fisher on several occasions. I’m wondering if they are a few months behind him like they generally were with Alfonso. |

So I'm re-watching past Hunt episodes in preparation for start of new season and they mention Fisher was as volunteer firefighter in Borrego Springs, California. Borrego Springs is in San Diego County, California. Just wanted to bring this up since we don't really talk much about Southern California as a possibility when discussing Fisher. (obviously San Diego County is close to Mexico as well which would give Fisher some options). Robert Fisher has been on the run for just about 20 years and if he’s still alive (which i think he is), his health hasn’t been the best. If Fisher is anywhere in the United States, I tend to think he’d be in Eastern California, particularly in the areas around Death Valley as it’s pretty remote out there. Places like Lone Pine, Bishop, or Independence would be possible locations. |

This is rather uncreative on me and I don't know how much credit I can get if I keep changing my mind, but piggybacking on what maddog said about Alfonso I've decided if Robert Fisher is alive he is in Mexico. It would be a lot easier for him to get health care there where they probably aren't as strict in ensuring your identity or he can find "unofficial" doctors to help him with any back issues.
I can see Fisher living in a poor state as well though. Those Grand Isle, Louisiana sightings are very intriguing.

We do know from the documentary that there have been 10-20 good tips. I agree that the Grand Isle ones were likely accurate. I'm guessing he is constantly on the move in Mexico, but was in the US until at least 2003. Remember: in January 2007, the passport rules changed for Mexico and Canada, and he would have had to have had a passport to go back and forth from that point on. The Grand Isle sightings happened prior to that.
If he is indeed in Mexico, I doubt he is in either the Guadalajara or Cancun areas. There are numerous Mexican immigration agents in those areas. Is it possible he has been in the United States this whole time? Most certainly. He really would have to be in an isolated area of the U.S., though. I'm guessing it's a warmer climate due to his back.
You know what I would like to see is every doctor and chiropractor in the country to get a bulletin on Fisher: It's entirely possible someone recognizes him from treating him for back issues.

It is a catch-22 though as far as the states go, he might be in a poorer state but those poorer states probably don't have the best access to health care for his back issues. I agree about a warmer climate though.

I think this is why Florida which I know articles and The Hunt have discussed as a possible location makes sense though. It's not a poor state but it has pockets of poor areas not a far drive from nicer areas with decent doctors so it's sort of a good happy medium of sorts for someone like Fisher.

This is another one of those AMW cases (Hazel Head is another) where I thought this case would be easy to solve.
And yet twenty years later this guy is still on the run.
I wonder if he's even alive?

There's lots of evidence pointing both ways and I've admittedly changed my mind multiple times- but right now I'm leaning towards unfortunately alive based on really good tips AMW has received in the past. Sometimes they're good at hiding- sometimes it's just incredibly good luck- with Fisher it might be both- if he's alive.
