I just want to give some background for the first couple of posts I had since I don't want to discourage any potential tipsters. Michael Akerly, soon to be a 'Hunt' fugitive, was also profiled on America's Most Wanted when that show was on the air. America's Most Wanted had a Facebook page. Threre was a woman who would rather than call or e-mail their hotline anonymously, would publicly state that she knows where he is in Vancouver, British Columbia and he was after her or something and demand they post the video link to Mike Akerly's profile. She would make these comments in response to posts that had NOTHING to do with Michael Akerly. So my annoyance was not at someone wanting to provide whereabouts, it was about someone doing it PUBLICLY and then ignoring the basic advice- call John Walsh's show where you can remain anonymous. If you think you know where Michael Akerly is, you don't need to watch a video to tell people where you think Michael Akerly is. So if you know where Michael Akerly is- please DO THE RIGHT THING and help get justice for Diane- but remember you can and probably should remain ANONYMOUS and contact The Hunt at 1-866-THE-HUNT and or submit a web tip to them at cnn.com/thehunt. Don't reply on John Walsh's personal Facebook posts and just let the hotline operators or whoever reads the emails deal with it instead.

I'm of the belief that he died not long after fleeing.

It's certainly possible. But AMW and The Hunt have helped solve deceased fugitive cases as well so hopefully if he is tips help identify where he lived who he was and such.

On The Hunt airing tonight, they mentioned Akerly may possibly be in Kentucky or Tennessee.
He is/was definitely a crackhead based on what I saw on the show and his mannerisms in police interview videos, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's dead by now.

I noticed that it was not mentioned that Michael may be hiding out among the Amish community in New York. It sounds like that lead was determined not to be correct.

A recent local article still mentions the Amish community as a possibility. According to the Penn Live article, he is known to frequent Wattsburg, Erie County; (in PA) Chautauqua, N.Y. (possibly hiding in the Amish community); and North Carolina. Why The Hunt didn't mention it I dunno. www.pennlive.com/news/2017/09/man_still_on_the_run_from_1998.html
