1998 episode (exact date unknown)Captured: Tom Curtis - Seemingly personable high school student body president committed 19 armed robberies with Ethan Thrower in Portland (doesn't specify Portland, OR or Portland, ME, but I'm assuming Oregon). Showed up at senior class trip in Mexico and all of his classmates refused to turn him in. Thrower was put out of commission after accidentally shooting himself in the testicle (!!). Curtis was arrested in Las Vegas. Captured: Jamie Hawkins - Turned himself in after quickie profile (possibly from previous week). He and his girlfriend severely beat and neglected her two year old daughter, eventually beating her to death. Girlfriend had previously been arrested and placed on one million dollar bond (the highest ever for that particular county). John Walsh says there's no punishment too severe for Hawkins (I agree). Public Enemy #1: Eddie Mathis - Wanted for killing two adults and placing young child in closet for 14 hours while murders were carried out. Has violent history and is a gun fanatic. Once robbed bank and nearby White Castle while bank's alarm was going off. Once narrowly escaped capture. He is also a crossdresser and is on the U.S. Marshalls 15 Most Wanted list. Juan Jimenez - Last remaining member of trio who robbed and killed Bob Rooney during a home invasion in Glastonbury, CT in 1991 is wanted. Unknown National Monument thief - Searching for whoever is responsible for stealing part of a National Monument in Montana. This occurred on federal land, so it is a federal crime. Julie Holmquist - Minnesota teenager has disappeared. (It was later discovered she was sexually assaulted and murdered. Curtiss Cedergren killed himself as the authorities were closing in on him.) On Aug 16, 2003, AMW tipsters led cops to the Detroit hotel Eddie was hiding out in. Eddie pointed a gun at the officers and they in return shot him dead. He is Capture #758. Juan Jimenez is still at large. He was first aired in 1994 and last aired in 2004. amwfans.com/thread/1405/juan-jimenez-connecticut-1991 |

March 20, 1999 (555 fugitives caught to date)
Michael Buttram - Is wanted for the home invasion killing of his ex-fiancée and mother in Georgia.
Captured: Lena Townsend - Woman who beat her 4 year old granddaughter to death in Tennessee was apprehended in Arizona.
Rafael Ramirez - Is wanted for beating, raping and killing popular Dr. Claudia Benton in Texas while her husband and kids were away. He made himself a snack in her house after the killing. He has a lengthy rap sheet dating back to the 70's. Happened in an affluent neighborhood, however there was a transient camp nearby.
Dennis Lilly - Has escaped from prison numerous times in Kansas and Missouri.
Asheville, NC abortion clinic bombing - Authorities believe notorious Eric Rudolph (of the Atlanta Olympics bombing) could be invoved.
Enrique Coropuna & Company - Are wanted for several violent robberies.
Orland Park, IL Shell gas station killing - Extremely bizarre case. Unknown gunman in camouflage entered gas station and killed Robert Collins (the man on duty) without stealing anything, motive unknown. A "Bob Reynolds from Poole Trucking" supposedly on his way back to Oregon called in with a crucial tip but an attendant error led to the call being terminated prematurely. Authorities could find no record of an employee by that name with that company anywhere.
Randolph Biernat - A thoroughly creepy pedophile who raped his stepdaughter for many years and videotaped it skipped out on his court date.
Update: Yosemite disappearances - Bodies have been found.
Captured: Mark Allen - Man with lengthy rap sheet who committed many robberies and a carjacking was apprehended while trying to pass himself off as a U.S. Marshall investigating his own case.
Jesus Antonio Tejeda - Beat a 2 year old girl under his care to death.
"Booby Boys"/Kenneth Williams - again.
Aundria Crawford - Disappeared in same general area as Kristin Smart and authorities believed they could be linked (they weren't).
Just wanted to update that I discovered Jesus Antonio Tejeda is still a wanted fugitive according to the Dallas County Court Records. I have a thread on his case up now. amwfans.com/thread/5626/jesus-antonio-tejeda-texas-1998 |

Special note I want to make that AMW also did Canada-focused episodes in 1990, 2000 and 2004. I'm not sure if more were done during the early-to-mid 90s but it is possible. Kevin Vermette is still a wanted fugitive. Some have speculated that he died shortly after the triple homicide, or that he could be living a secluded lifestyle in Alaska or Canada: amwfans.com/thread/206/kevin-vermette-british-columbia-1997Good news is that Patrick Adkins was arrested on August 16, 1998 as AMW Capture #519. I think this episode may have aired right after the last two you reviewed Walshfan, since Jamie Hawkins was the direct capture right before Patrick Adkins. |

I misspelled the first fugitive in yesterday's post, it is actually Stephen Toussaint. I edited the original post. |

Half of episode from late February, 1998, from San Francisco, CA
Tony Amati - Wanted for the murders of 3 random victims and the attempted killing of another. Also wanted for his part in the burglary of a gun shop in which 70 guns were stolen. The former straight-A student was then-recently added to the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List. (Captured within days of broadcast)
Alabama abortion clinic bombing - The infamous Eric Rudolph is suspected of this crime in which a police officer was killed and a nurse severely wounded.
JonBenet Ramsey - John Walsh runs down the latest in the case, which is fairly common knowledge by this point. Walsh mentions the case may be close to getting solved (nope, sorry, still unsolved after more than 20 years now). (partial segment, rest of episode not present).
Only a few segments there, but it ran about 23 minutes, so that's roughly half the episode. I'm fairly certain the JonBenet segment ran on for a good long while as they mentioned that forensic experts were doing DNA testing on it later in the broadcast.

Anyone notice that the JonBenet Ramsey case got a lot of airings from 1997-1999? It's unfortunate that with all those profiles, AMW wasn't able to get that horrible case more beneficial leads.

Okay, the rest of that Vancouver episode was on another disc, with the rest of the cases being American ones. Here's the remainder of that episode: Phokam Kedmenivong - Member of Oriental Posse in Midavle, UT is wanted for the murder of a young man named Nick Dirkson. Nick had just learned he was going to be a father again when Phokam and his posse came in to the restaurant Nick and his wife were working at to continue an argument after Nick accused them of stealing his car cd player. Phokam shot him in the face and killed him. Felicia Elliott - Sad case about a girl from Dalton, AR who is missing. Her 7 year old brother Gregory was found bludgeoned to death in their home, her mother found murdered on a neighbor's porch, and her father found murdered in a nearby river. (Felicia's remains were found in 2000. In 2003, father and son Billy and Charles Green were found guilty and convicted. The motive was a drug deal gone bad.) Peter Kema - Another sad one. Boy who went missing from Hawaii. Rather famous Charley Project case. Recently, both of his parents have pleaded guilty to manslaughter and his father has been convicted and sentenced to 20 years. Peter has never been located. www.charleyproject.org/cases/k/kema_peter.html -- (*WARNING: Extremely disturbing) Kirby Peterson - Quickie profile of Kentucky inmate who has escaped from prison. Segment on FTRA: Freight Train Riders of America, who illegally hop trains and commit a wide range of crimes, including murder. Not really a wanted segment, but Robert Silvera (who has confessed to ten murders and suspected of many more) is profiled. |

On a happy note, Nick Dirkson's widow gave birth to his son months after his death.
I really have no idea how Peter Kema's mother can arrange a plea deal and serve little to no time for Peter's murder, after having abused, tortured and neglected him starting with when he was only a few months old and continuing to his death. It truly is sickening. Thankfully, Peter's death was heavily publicized in Hawaii, so I can imagine she's not a popular person there -- or anywhere for that matter.

episode from 1998, exact date unknown
Captured: Frederick Rudolph Yokom - Former FBI's Ten Most Wanted member who served 13 years after initially being captured, was released and then wanted again for his part in the robbery of a jewelry store. Apprehended in Richmond, VA
Bernardo Martinaj - Stabbed a guy to death in New York City after the two had accidentally bumped shoulders.
Glen Godwin - FBI's 10 Most Wanted member escaped from Folsom Prison (where he was serving time for murder) in 1987. Arrested in Mexico on drug charges thereafter, but escaped again. (Added to the list in 1996, removed in 2016 after 20 years. Still has not been caught.)
Public Enemy #1: Eric Rodriguez - Child molester who molested his own 10 year old daughter. He was convicted in absentia after fleeing, aided by the ineptness of the judge handling the case, who refused prosecutors requests for higher bonds a dozen times. The ineptness of the judge outraged many New Yorkers including then-Governor George Pataki, who introduced legislation to prevent that from happening again.
Daisy Jane Doe - Again
Bronx Jane Doe - Identity of unknown African American teenage girl found dead in the Bronx in February of 1998 is sought (quickie profile).
Dana Mckay & Mary Hoffman - Las Vegas Elvis impersonator and Mrs. Nevada were living as a couple when they were both killed at their home in October of 1993. Dana's business partner Tim Stonestreet is a suspect.

Dana's business partner Tim Stonestreet is a suspect. I don't see a Jane Doe in New York for February 1998 on Doenetwork so it looks like Bronx Jane Doe has since been identified. I also found a court record with Bernardo Martinaj as the defendant out of New York so it looks like he has since been captured. The Dana McKay/Mary Hoffman murder is still unsolved: www.lasvegasnow.com/news/iteam-cold-case-the-death-of-an-elvis-impersonator/83254400 |

Julie Holmquist - Minnesota teenager has disappeared. (It was later discovered she was sexually assaulted and murdered. Curtiss Cedergren killed himself as the authorities were closing in on him.) This is either the April 4, 1998, or August 8, 1998, episode. Eddie Mathis was profiled on both of those episodes, according to his archived AMW profile: web.archive.org/web/20040613004428/http://www2.amw.com:80/site/thisweek/M/MathisEdward/mathisindex.htmlEDIT: Also, the Canada episode you mentioned very likely aired on July 18, 1998. Dudley Forbes' archived profile lists that as his only profile date in 1998. web.archive.org/web/20040613023638/http://www2.amw.com:80/site/thisweek/F/ForbesDudley/forbesindex.htmlAlso, just for my own personal curiosity, how long was Mathis' profile? I saw him profiled three times; two of those profiles were All-Points Bulletins (so only about 2-3 minutes long) and the third was a brief. |
