Alexis Flores- Pennyslvania- 2000 (Added in 2007)

Thing is, most countries actually won’t extradite their own citizens (Mexico being one of the biggest exceptions). I don’t know if it’s that type of policy that is preventing his extradition, but you would think that if the Honduran Government was concerned that he would face the death penalty, the Attorney General of PA would promise that it wouldn’t be sought.

Yeah not to beat a dead horse but we established that Honduras extradite their own but mainly drug trafficking cased- as messed up.as that is that they care more about some guy who trafficks a minuscule amount of cocaine compared to a little girl raped and murdered by the alleged assailant.

However the top ten list still keeps publicity and pressure on the case.

We've seen a few top ten cases, granted mainly in Mexico, where the country knew where they were and finally sent the fugitive back due to pressure from the list's publicity.

I think some of the colder cases on the list are standing out and frustrating us even more than they already have since the list has had a bit of a capture lull. But eventually someone does get caught. I predict by the end of September, we'll see someone captured.

Here’s a travel advisory for Honduras. There’s the remote Gracias A Dios Department (State/Province) that is very remote that is currently at a Do Not Travel status and it gives me hope that Alexis Flores May have and may be hiding in that province if nothing has come up in several years.

Reconsider travel to Honduras due to crime. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.

Do not travel to:

Gracias a Dios Department due to crime.
Violent crime, such as homicide and armed robbery, is common. Violent gang activity, such as extortion, violent street crime, rape, and narcotics and human trafficking, is widespread. Local police and emergency services lack sufficient resources to respond effectively to serious crime.

Read the Safety and Security section on the country information page.

If you decide to travel to Honduras:

Avoid demonstrations
Be aware of your surroundings.
Avoid walking or driving at night.
Do not physically resist any robbery attempt.
Be extra vigilant when visiting banks or ATMs.
Do not display signs of wealth, such as wearing expensive watches or jewelry.
Exercise caution using cell phones in public, including inside of cars while stopped in traffic.
Visit our website for Travel to High-Risk Areas.
Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter.
Review the Crime and Safety Report for Honduras.
U.S. citizens who travel abroad should always have a contingency plan for emergency situations. Review the Traveler’s Checklist.
Gracias a Dios Department

Gracias a Dios is an isolated area with high levels of criminal activity and drug trafficking. Infrastructure is weak, government services are limited, and police and military presence is scarce.

The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Gracias a Dios as U.S. government employees are restricted from traveling to the area.

Flores would be a hard guy to catch if it is truly not known where he is, although we seem to be in agreement that this is likely more of an extradition hurdle case. The OP photo is him with a baby-faced and there have. been no age-progression photos as he likely looks much older by now. But I would agree he may be choosing to hide in a more rural as opposed to urban area of the country.

One interesting thing ipintern, our new forum member who works for In Pursuit let us know is that they submitted a case of a fugitive on our site named Tong Wu- wanted for the murder of his roommate in Philadelphia- but the Philadelphia P.D. is one the departments least willing to work with them and turned them down.

So perhaps this is why Alexis Flores has yet to air on The Hunt or In Pursuit despite John Walsh saying he wanted to air him one more time before he retires. (And JW is still my hero but I've politely called him out on that )

Granted it is an FBI case but it still is also a Philly case and I assume would need some sort of cooperation from them.

They aired Flores multiple times on AMW, but they were much shorter segments. So they potentially might not have as much as they want to work with to make an expanded airing.

It is just my speculation and not official reason as to why Flores is yet to air on The Hunt or In Pursuit, as the Philly P.D. apparently has declined to participate with John Walsh on company on other fugitive cases. It could or could not be a possible reason, but wanted to throw that out there.
