www.13wham.com/news/local/story/rape-kidnapping-livingston-county/E7DjQHe2e0mEaqJtviCfOQ.cspxI'm going to be honest and say I don't remember this guy being profiled on AMW, but an alleged rapist and 30-year cold case fugitive named Gary Smith, who allegedly raped an Upstate New York student has been captured. The article claims he was aired multiple times on AMW. In any case, a cold case fugitive is off the street, and is not a good year to be a cold case rapist named Gary! (Gary Irving was caught earlier in the year of course)

I remember this guy from the old AMW website, his last profile was in 2000. So the article isn't lying or anything. I always believed that he was aired back in the 1990s and wasn't some commercial break case.

I didn't think the article was lying and usually never think one is, but sometimes they can be mistaken or have bad info. For instance, sometimes they'll claim a web-exclusive fugitive was aired on AMW when they were just on the website. In any case, it's obvious he wasn't given as much publicity as other AMW fugitives despite the horrific crime he was accused of. But in any case, he's now caught and great capture!

This is kind of off-topic but one thing that annoys me is whenever an AMW fugitive is captured indirectly, news articles make AMW sound like a failure with statements like "AMW tips went nowhere" or "AMW tried with no avail." AMW is an amazing show but obviously they can't catch everybody. But they have frigging caught over 1200 people! Just because obviously and unfortunately a few bad guys and girls will get away and/or not get caught by the show doesn't mean it is or was a failure. One guy manages to not get captured by the show, and it seems like they're indirectly trying to say it doesn't work.
Sorry, I get passionate about defending the show I still hope comes back!

Definitely love to see a cold-case get wrapped up, good capture.
