He was definitely on the website because of an additional archive page I found but probably not aired based on your guides.

Peter Chadwick profile was pretty good although I was a bit surprised they seemingly just glossed over how ridiculous it is that he got bail. I thought John Walsh would be all over that. (He called him smart for figuring out how to stay out of jail, but it's stupid he was out of jail to begin with imo).
Also, can we please leave quiet nerdy husbands alone? This is the second fugitive this season (Lamont Stephenson and now Peter Chadwick) where they described the fugitive as a mild-mannered nerdy type, this is getting very dangerously close to stereotyping and soon quiet nerdy husbands who aren't killers are going to have a hard time finding girlfriends lol.
Luis Mena profile was good, pretty similar to the AMW profile. No complaints, basically did what it needed to do.

I understand that the majority of fugitive murder suspects aren't mild-mannered nerdy types, but they do exist and it shouldn't be surprising enough to specifically state that. I understand what they're getting at when they're trying to tell the stories of Peter Chadwick and Lamont Stephenson, and to mention their character traits, but I feel they can be doing this in a less stereotypical type of way.

Not to mention while I'm not a total expert on the case from what I gathered on Chadwick from the few years I've spent covering it is he strikes me as not really nerdy but rather mild-mannered and seemingly laid back. This is sort of the personality of a lot of British people I've met in life.
Stephenson also could fit this description as well. (Besides the British part of course).
Both obviously just had dark sides.

Still no Hunt preview for Macedo up. Technically, they have until tomorrow, but part of me wonders if they found a way to expand Moradian's profile to a full hour since Macedo is now captured. I guess we'll find out lol.

Also (sorry on a roll today I guess), but they're replaying the Shane Miller episode on HLN today. I get that it's historical in that it was The Hunt's first episode but Shane Miller is dead. I'm glad the show's now on a channel that will show 'Hunt' reruns as CNN is now political talk 24-7 pretty much, but I wish they would focus on fugitives still at large. Maria Cabrera or Dino Curcio I can understand since they're newer episodes and still good to brag, but I see that Shane Miller episode replayed a lot and I don't get constantly playing repeats of episodes where all cases were resolved in previous seasons rather than someone the viewing public could still help catch.

Should be interesting to see what happens with Moradian tomorrow as America's Most Wanted had notoriously bad luck catching DUI homicide fugitives and several are still at large as of today. (Sarkis Peltekian, Michelle Comstock, Gloria Schulze etc... Carey Price did get captured eventually but not really much to do with AMW but him blurting out he was wanted).
The Hunt, however, the first DUI homicide they profiled, Chris Ponce, did get captured. (And although it's still unclear if it was a direct result, The Hunt I feel does deserve at least partial credit- like 25 percent or more for his capture as the worldwide publicity definitely helped).
Interestingly enough, Moradian is also only The Hunt's third fugitive from Florida so far. Ponce and Megan Everett before them.
Hopefully after tomorrow The Hunt goes 3-for-3 on Florida cases and 2-for-2 on DUI homicide fugitives as well but we'll see.

Tonight in my opinion was the best two-fugitive Hunt episode of the season. (Dino Curcio and Pablo Mata both very good 1-fugitive only episodes). (I hate saying "enjoy" an episode about such terrible cases but well done)
Both cases were very emotional, and although all the episodes make me sad or outraged in a sense, I'd say for some reason both cases (despite Macedo being captured) hit me more than usual tonight. In Macedo's case, basically just how senseless it was that Alex's life was wasted for no reason, and in the Moradian case, how sad it was that Officer Russo did so much for his country and others just to get killed by an irresponsible drunk driver.
John Walsh seemed more involved in both cases, fighting back tears when it came to Officer Russo's death (the part about Jason Russo's mother having to explain to her daughter what happened is what made Walsh nearly broke down as it reminded him of breaking the news to his wife about Adam). This isn't a criticism, but I noticed some cases this season have more interview heavy with John Walsh not commenting as much as he had in past seasons. Both cases tonight, he was very opinionated, involved, and quite emotional.
Thankfully Macedo was captured. Hopefully Moradian didn't flee the country and can still be caught. (or fled to somewhere where he can be extradited if he did leave the U.S.)

Both cases were very emotional indeed, especially with the Macedos case, and Also now that Macedo has been aired the fbi might replace him soon. (Van Wisse was replaced shortly after his airing)
Mordians case saddens me as it exhibits the stupidity of some people and how far it goes. Because he was being careless he ended up killing someone.
Honestly it’s been so long since I’ve seen Walsh very emotional, since they closed the case on Adams Murder.

I've seen Walsh still get emotional the past few years in interviews and on The Hunt as well (he got pretty worked up during the Shane Miller episode and the Thayne Smika segment in season 1).
Just this year he seemed to be laying back a bit more and not commenting as much on some of the episodes. In fairness, some of the cases did speak for themselves.

For some reason Zap2It has the Tomas Gonzalez episode as the October 29th episode of The Hunt instead of Kenneth Cofer and Leslie Charles Dawson. Not sure what that's about. (logic would have the October 22nd episode have a repeat on instead since Arthur Crabtree was captured- then again they could always have bumped the episode back to replace Matthew Dion so that the season can end with fugitives still at large to catch- would be a more appropriate season finale than someone already caught).
Also, just realized, I believe Luis Macedo is the first ever fugitive in the first half of the show to get captured before the airing. Usually the fugitive captured before the show has a chance to do it themselves is in the second portion- but I think had The Hunt known he'd be captured during the season they would have changed the schedule to where he wasn't the first case. (the episode was already completed with the post-production and all done).
I guess we'll see what happens in the next few weeks.

I agree this was a really well put together episode. Both segments did what they had to so tell two very tragic and senseless cases without getting off track. It was also good they were able to explain some of Chicago's gang issues without going into a political discussion about it.

Now I no longer see Cofer or Dawson on the tip form. Weird.
