AMW On Web.Archive.Org

I have found a few episodes of AMW while looking for missing episodes of Cops to help fill gaps in the Cops Archive Project. I don't have them on Archive yet, but I did recently get one of them up on Youtube.

Here is season 16 episode 15 Bad Girls from February 1st 2003.

The other one I have cut but not uploaded yet mentions Sept 7th as the date, but the end credits are cut off before showing the year.

You are welcome. I am always happy to help preserve media.

Here is the other one. My first guess is that it's season 3 episode 1, but now that I look again a lot of the listing information for AMW on TVDB is missing.

I think I might have one or two more I still need to cut from tapes that mostly included segments/episodes of Cops along with a few other things. Then I also have a tape that is mostly AMW.Lastly I have some scene/P2P releases for seasons 23-25 that have been floating around online.I'll try to work on getting more of the taped AMW stuff up this week.

If anyone happens to also be a big fan of Cops along with AMW information on the Cops Archive Project that I have been trying to help find episodes for can be found here

Thanks

Thank you for all the episodes! This is a complete gold mine! For me personally, I'm so happy you found Fox's last episode from June 2011! I'd never seen that one so I'm happy you were able to find it!

I think these are the episodes on the four-hour tape:

March 4, 1995

* Anthony Smith and Richard Bare are both still at large. Their archived amw.com pages list this date as one of their profiles. Most of Smith's AMW airings were All-Points Bulletins, so seeing his full profile is nice, although it's not terribly different than his APB profile. This is also the only profile of Bare I've seen where they interview Sherry Lyall Hart's mother. I was aware she'd been interviewed, as Bare's 2004 amw.com profile mentioned this.

March 11, 1995

* Timothy Coombs is still at large. Rumors are that he may be dead since agencies that track hate groups have never seen his name come up, which is apparently highly unusual. I know Robert Joos, the leader of the hate group Coombs belonged to, has been arrested several times since his release from prison. In a sad update on this case, Trooper Bobby Harper, the man Coombs is accused of shooting, died a year after this profile from surgery complications.

* Sheriff Ron Hewitt, who was threatened by fugitive Darryl Hewett, would return to AMW in 2003 as the investigator on the Toby Beck (aka, Steven Harrison), Tamika Hamilton, and Errol Turnage case.

March 18, 1995

Most of these cases appear to have been solved

March 25, 1995

* Sadly, the Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre remains unsolved. Stephanie Senac was still alive at the time of this airing, but she died in 1999 from complications related to the shooting. Strangely, AMW never mentioned this when they re-aired the case in 2004 and 2010.

April 1, 1995

* Dennis Howe is still at large.

April 15, 1995?

* I don't know if this is the correct date, but I know the April 8, 1995 episode exists elsewhere online, and this isn't that episode. My reasoning behind the date is because the summary I have of this episode talks about a bodybuilder going on a shopping spree and one of the segments is a Final Justice report for John Riccardi, who was a bodybuilder.

* The Victor Rohana Attacker has never been caught as far as I know. Both this case and Billy Browning were also profiled on Final Justice, as was Riccardi's FJ report.

I don't have enough information to tell me what the last episode is.

You are welcome. That was about all I could find when I looked. There are some gaps with episodes missing in-between. So if you search for slightly different file names from what is listed (Like using the same file name but changing the episode number) you might be able to fill in some of these gaps.

It seems sometimes a video file that is uploaded to Archive isn't compatible with the site's built in video player. So Archive converts these files into player compatible videos on its own in time. When I first uploaded the set of files Only the YouTube segments were able to be previewed. Looking now some of the other episodes are listed in the preview playlist. When I look at the folder view there are new .mp4 versions of files that were not there before. Most of the originals I came across were in .avi, and the ones from tapes are in .mkv

Whenever you are looking at files on Archive you can scroll down a little bit and on the right side click Show All. This will list everything uploaded including stuff that isn't preview-able for one reason or another.

Thank you for listing the dates on the tape. I'd like to get them cut into episodes and uploaded on YouTube. I just get a little side tracked from time to time.

The only other AMW related video I have at the moment that has not been uploaded yet are small local segments that aired during breaks in episodes of Cops. They start "I'm John Walsh This is western Washington's Most Wanted" then a different voice over goes through APBs of different people wanted in the area. Here is a screen shot.

Right click on the link, left click save as, and that will download it locally. If you did that and it still won't play try loading it with VLC Media player. If you rather use a different media player you might need to install the K-Lite or CCCP codec pack.

If you need to download either there is a site called Ninite that allows you to easily create custom clean one click installers. Once on the site click the check boxes next to the software you want to install. Then scroll to the bottom and click Get my Ninite. Once you run the installer that is downloaded it will look for, download, and install whatever software you check marked earlier. You can run it again to look for updates of the software too.
