Fugitive Profile as of August 19th, 2014 (Based on US Marshals poster): Sex: ……………………..MALE Race: ……………………BLACK Date of Birth: …….……..FEBRUARY 27, 1978 Place of Birth: …… …….MICHIGAN Height: ……………….....5’7” Weight: …………..……..170 POUNDS Eyes: …………………....BROWN Hair: ………………….....BLACK Skintone: ………..……....DARK Scars/Tattoos: …………..SCAR ON KNEE AND RIGHT SIDE OF HEAD FROM STAPLES Who to call if you've seen him:US Marshals Service 1-877-Wanted-2 or e-mail usms.wanted@usdoj.govThis thread is to discuss USMS top 15 fugitive Corey Gaston. Below is an AMW radio transcription of his case: "The attack was random, disturbing and very violent. A man broke into a Detroit home and plucked a ten-year old girl from her bedroom. He dragged her to a nearby park and raped her. After the attack, the little girl was returned home. She didn't recognize her attacker and police feared it would be an impossible case to solve, until they found a cell phone at the scene of the crime. Detectives say that phone led them straight to Corey Gaston. After cops caught up with him, a judge let Gaston post bond. But he didn't hang around for his trial. Cops say Gaston loves ice hockey and computers. He may be hiding in Michigan, California, Tennessee or Mexico." Thoughts? Gaston was last profiled on AMW's special Facebook request episode in August of 2012 during their Lifetime season and there seems to be lots of good tips on him. According to a recent article, evidence points to him hiding out in the El Paso-Las Cruces, New Mexico area. www.usmarshals.gov/investigations/most_wanted/gaston/gaston.htmwww.amw.com/fugitives/case.cfm?id=55498www.kfoxtv.com/news/news/fugitive-us-marshals-most-wanted-list-may-be-hidin/nS8Ts/Admin Note: If you have any (news-related) updated information on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-form

I'm curious to see if the El Paso lead ever went anywhere. Unless he's a trucker then I can't see a black fugitive blending in a majority-Latino city like El Paso well or even Las Cruces.

If that New Mexico lead had any semblance of truth to it, my best guess is he was trying to get into Mexico. But even then, he'd stick out. Its just a matter of time before he's nabbed. He doesn't strike me as a criminal mastermind.

I can't believe I just found this but there's an article that says Gaston may be in Memphis and has family ties there. He may specifically be in the Bluff City neighborhood. Also, although it may have been in his archived profile, here's some more tidbits: Gaston is a former amateur hockey player with a scar on his face, is pigeon-toed and has a distinctive bowlegged walk. He is also a germaphobe. P.S. Somewhat off-topic but is there like a ton of guys on AMW or elsewhere who have a pigeon-toed walk. Andre Neverson, Corey Gaston, Robert Fisher. They're all most wanted list guys as well. I know we shouldn't judge other people, but if I ever meet anyone pigeon-toed in real life I'm sneaking a cell phone photo and going home to make sure he or she's not a fugitive just to be on the safe side. www.myfoxmemphis.com/story/20607551/detroit-fugitive-rapist-believed-in-memphis

I'm a bit surprised we're still looking for this guy eight years after going on the run. He doesn't seem to difficult to find and we've gotten different reports about looking for him in Las Cruces, New Mexico and Memphis, Tennessee.

New article on The Hunt for Gaston. I didn't know this but apprently he was captured in Georgia in 2007 before fleeing again. The Marshals say they have received tips on every state in the country as Gaston has contacts nationwide. The article also mentions them searching for him on the streets of Detroit. So it seems they feel it's possible he's hiding in plain sight. www.wxyz.com/news/detroit-man-hunted-nationwide-as-us-marshals-top-15-most-wanted

Additionally, Gaston is believed to have frequented the Bessemer/Adger areas of Jefferson County, Alabama in the past two months.

I normally don't make "top list" fugitives forum cases of the week as I prefer to focus on lesser-known cases that don't get as much attention but with the significant updates about Gaston being spotted in Alabama I've decided to make him case of the week for September 22nd-29th.
Hopefully this will help flush him out of hiding a little more.

Corey Gaston was like the Eduardo Ravelo of the U.S. Marshals Top 15 Most Wanted as Gaston was on the list for 8 years.
However it is pretty shocking he was tracked down to Mexico but on the other hand.... they developed intelligence perhaps due to the alleged sightings in the last few months.

This is surprising considering he was supposedly confirmed to be in Alabama but still great news!
