Introduction and question about segments

1998 episode (exact date unknown, but is either from very late February or early March)

Captured: Tony Amati - FBI 10 Most Wanted List member captured just days after being profiled on previous week's show, his extreme OCD ended up being a dead giveaway.

Harry "Taco" Bowman - Takes Amati's place on the top 10. Long-time leader of notorious Outlaws biker gang has committed many crimes. 

Eric Rudolph - Yet another profile. 

"B Reno Livingston" - Older con man using the stolen identity of "B Reno Livingston" is wanted out of Houston, TX for selling obviously fake coins and lithographs. Has stolen 4 million from clients and is on the run with his wife and five children. 

Update: Jesse McAlister and Bradley Price - Latest info on two young murderers who lived in Oregon and fled there after shooting two random victims to death. It has been confirmed they have traveled to Mexico.

Sandra Keller - 14 year old Idaho girl was kidnapped by Donald Dyer.

Melissa Polonio - Crack addicted, extremely violent woman who ran her husband's drug empire after he was put behind bars. She is wanted for stabbing a woman to death at a child's birthday party in New York City. She is originally from the Dominican Republic. 

Kimberly Juarez - 18 year old Leukemia patient is searching for a bone marrow transplant from an acceptable match. 

I don't recall whether I updated the USMS 15MW history thread to reflect this, but Melissa Polonio was on the Marshals' 15 Most Wanted. I think she committed that murder in April of 1995 and was probably added to the list two months after that.

I can't find jack online about the kidnapping of Sandra Keller by Donald Dyer. Happened in Fruitland, Idaho.

Also, I can't remember if B Reno Livingston was ever discussed, anyone know what happened to him? Weird one, seems like he shouldn't have been too hard to locate since he was traveling with his family of 6 other people and he had a pronounced southern accent. I remember he popped up on several episodes I reviewed, but can't remember if the first time was an update or what. 

episode from March 21, 1998


Captured: Patrick Heaps - Bank robber has been re-captured after escaping from prison with two other inmates (who were also re-apprehended). His latest bank robbery had been in Orem, UT, which was completely the wrong town to mess with as many of the police officers there are marathon runners, who caught up with fairly easily when he tried to outrun them. 

Carl Consolvo - Has went on a crime spree in the southern half of the U.S.

Update: "Wig Bandit" or "Little Richard Bandit" - Has struck another bank in Louisiana, this time without his disguise.

Update: Gary O'Brien - Man who kidnapped his three sons from their home in Newfoundland, Canada after failing to get the house to explode. Authorities managed to find the engine to his car in the ocean near the area where he drove it in there.

Update: The Notorious BIG - Nothing newsy at all in here, just the mention of the one year anniversary since the rapper was gunned down, seemingly at random. John Walsh calls out the victim's rich celebrity friends by announcing none of them have put up reward money to help solve the case. 

Katherine Lugo - Lengthy repeat segment.

Mary Frances Hunter - Quickie profile of Washington state woman who has gone missing, reportedly near a mall. Link to CP article states her husband is a suspect:

Wow I saw every episode since 1996 and obviously memory fades over time but I honestly don't recall JW calling out Biggie's celebrity friends.

So many people say the cops didn't care about his or Tupac's cases but I also don't remember any of their friends offering reward money.

I wish I could believe there was a good chance the O'Brien boys are still alive, but given everything we know about Gary and the circumstances of the case, it doesn't look good.

Okay, the airdate isn't mentioned, but a commercial (most of them are cut out, but this one was intact) says the series premiere of Damon airs tomorrow. Damon premiered on March 22, 1998, so that would make this episode March 21, 1998. I'll update my previous posting to reflect this. 

3/28/99

Update: Carl Consolvo - Second straight week this is the first fugitive to be profiled, he attempted to kidnap a boy since the last episode.

Officer Chris Horner - Orlando, FL police officer murdered around 6:35 a.m. while responding to his first call of the shift, which was at a cemetery. Some news outlets were pushing a possible suicide theory, but his death has been ruled a homicide. He left behind a wife and six children. 

Eric Rudolph - Yet again!

Miami Beach Jane Doe - was killed in Miami, FL in 1993 by homeless bum Julio Ortiz, who set her on fire (possibly while still alive). His trial was due to start soon after the broadcast.

Alan Golder - Yet again!

Angel Rivera - Quickie profile of landlord wanted for murdering 3 tenants.

Mike McGuffey - Another 1993 case, McGuffey is wanted for murdering his ex-wife Shelley in Washington state.
