Someone uploaded the (incomplete) profile of Gregory Brown, who was wanted for committing a number of violent crimes over the course of just a few hours in Louisiana, including killing a couple and burning their bodies. The part that's missing appears to be the recap and "If you know where Gregory Brown is..." narration from John Walsh.
Brown was an indirect capture, and despite what the description says, he was profiled in 1998, not 2001.

Three episodes of AMW from 1988 and 1989 have been uploaded to YouTube!
The first episode appears to be the one from July 31, 1988. It features an update on prison escapee Stephen DeLorenzo after he wrote to the show promising to surrender, as well as profiles on fugitives Rafik Brooks, James Clark and a brief update on captured fugitive James Stark (his unknown victim has been identified - I remember reading about this in one of John Walsh's books; they actually aired an unaltered post-mortem photo of the victim to ID her. That photo is shown during this broadcast).
The second episode is from a week later, Aug. 7, 1988. An update on Robert Nauss is provided (his full profile can be found elsewhere on YouTube), fugitives The Rev. Al Waddell, a brief update on Stephen DeLorenzo, and Lisa Castelone. The credits reveal some interesting information about some of the reenactments. In the Al Waddell case, two of the joggers were portrayed by AMW researchers Ray Mize and Eileen Dzik. And in the Robert Nauss reenactment, the other inmate who escaped with Nauss is played by none other than Frank Bender! I did a double-take when I saw his name in the credits, so I watched the reenactment and, sure enough, it's him!
The third episode is only a partial clip, but it's from the FBI Ten Most Wanted edition that aired on Nov. 19, 1989. Part of this story had previously been on YouTube, but this clip contains a few more stories (Leo Koury and Armando Garcia) as well as a short clip of Jack Farmer, who had already been caught.
This is so amazing! It appears the uploader has a bunch of tapes and is uploading TV shows they find on them. We can only hope they have more AMW episodes!

I saw the two 1988 episodes and considering they're more than 30 years old, I appreciate that they were still able to uploaded to YouTube. Also according to Newspapers.com, Lisa Castelone was finally captured in Riverside County, California in 2000. |

The quality of it is really crappy, but a fan of the band One-Eyed Jack has uploaded the then-unsolved murder of Kristin Laurite, a Deadhead who followed The Grateful Dead across the country while they went on tour. She was found dead at a rest stop while on a cross-country trek. Eventually, her murder was linked to one of another woman named Jacque Travis, and serial killer Ronald Ward was arrested in connection to the case. He died in prison in 2014.
This particular profile came from Feb. 24, 2001. Kristin's case was profiled later on in 2001 and a final time in 2003. This profile was before Jacque's murder was linked by DNA to Kristin's.

Found this mini-documentary on YouTube about AMW. It's only about 8 minutes long, but it's still pretty interesting. It gives just a peek behind the scenes of how the show works. John Walsh is interviewed, as is Lance Heflin.
There's a couple interesting errors going on too. The uploader says this is from 1998, but that can't be, because it was clearly filmed before the 1996 cancellation. Don LaFontaine's narration indicates this was about 6 years after AMW debuted, making this documentary from around 1994 (it had to be before 1995, as Don says there have been over 300 captures. Yehia Badawi, Capture #400, wasn't nabbed until 1995). Additionally, the subtitle on the clip from Episode 1 claims it's from April 1988, when we all know it aired on Feb. 7, 1988.

Someone uploaded Dennis Lilly's 1992 profile to YouTube. I believe this to be Lilly's first airing, February 28, 1992. A clip from the end of this story ("Dennis Lilly is the only man to successfully escape from the Missouri State Penitentiary") was used in Lilly's profiles starting in 2001 onward, after the reported sighting of him in Mexico.
Interestingly, while I have Lilly's full segment from his Final Justice airing, this one is actually more complete. The part where he's interviewed by a local TV station was not included on FJ.
Lilly, as many AMW fans know, was profiled multiple times from 1992 all the way through 2008, but was elusive. In 2012, his wife came forward and revealed that Lilly had died and was buried in her backyard. Sure enough, police found Lilly's remains buried in the backyard.

So here's an interesting video. The man who runs this channel, Shane, had a cameo in the Kendall Northern reenactment back in 1989. Northern, who was Capture #60, was wanted for killing a cab driver in a robbery, then escaping from prison following his conviction. Shane talks about his experience on the show - a relative was the manager at the restaurant where Northern made the phone call for the cab, which is how Shane ended up in the reenactment; he and his sister played customers eating at a table as Northern walked past them to use the phone.
Unfortunately, Shane, who was 14 at the time, fell asleep before the show and didn't record the segment, so not only does he not have a copy of the reenactment, but he also has never seen it.
Check out the video. It's actually pretty interesting! |

Someone just uploaded the commercial promo for the December 12, 1995 episode of AMW: Final Justice. You can clearly tell this is the case of Donald Eugene Webb. This episode was among those which were not re-aired on Court TV in 2001. www.youtube.com/watch?v=knFuMydvdXQ |

I think that's AMW capture #287 Magaly Gonzalez-Carr aka Magaly Carr or Maggie Carr. Like 90 percent sure but I'll wait for other posters on here just in case of the 10 percent chance I'm wrong but all the details in the promo match up if you Google her plus she was captured on November 10th, 1993.

That's Maggie Carr, alright. I have her FJ segment and it all matches up. |

Here's the link to the Preston Jones / Leon Morris reenactment. It's only a partial reenactment, unfortunately.
That Pedro Estrada reenactment is a gold mine. I have the FJ segment, but it's completely different. The FJ segment only interviewed Estrada's former manager, featured no interviews with law enforcement, and only talked about the multi-murder at the apartment. The original segment is much better.

Several new promos and AMW commercials have been added over the past few months. I won't post all of them (since there are quite a few of them) but here are some highlights: - Ray Steven Mobley promo from 1990. Mobley was one of the earliest fugitives profiled by AMW who is still at large. It appears that AMW last aired him sometime in the early 1990s, most likely before the show's cancellation in 1996.
- Michael Berry & Jesse Morrison promo. Here's a case most AMW fans likely know; Berry and Morrison were members of a gang that broke into a home, killed Cesar Cardenas, tried to kill his sister, Lourdes, and their mother. Detective Dickie Simmons was assigned to the case, and thanks to his efforts, Berry and Morrison became Capture #s 104 and 105. But their story doesn't end there; Lourdes and Dickie ended up falling in love with each other, and later got married. - AMW's 700th Capture Special promo (at 5:35 and 19:16). The episode aired on May 4, 2002. Capture #700 was Michael Scott Bliss, an FBI Ten Most Wanted fugitive who was nabbed after he tried to get his old job back and his old boss was informed that Bliss was a fugitive. - Stephen Tatro's Second Capture Report promo (at 14:58). Tatro has the dubious distinction of being one of only two fugitives who was caught by AMW twice (the other was Robert Falkner). This segment aired on March 2, 2001.
- Darryl Bailey promo (at 8:18). As part of a gang initiation, the teenage Bailey shot multiple people, but none of the people he shot were gang members. Bailey was profiled the very night of this preview (Dec. 10, 1989) and thanks to AMW he was tracked down and captured within just a few hours. (Some added trivia; the actor playing Darryl Bailey is Tyrin Turner, who later became known for playing the lead role in the 1993 movie Menace 2 Society. That movie's directors, brothers Allen and Albert Hughes, saw Bailey's profile and thought Turner was so believable as a gangster, they went out and recruited him for the role. In another interesting trivia bit, the Hughes Brothers would later direct their own AMW reenactment; Sophie David)
- Mark Jackson Profile. Someone uploaded the entire profile of missing person Mark Jackson, who was profiled on Sept. 25, 2004. To say this case is mysterious is an understatement. Mark disappeared one night in Florida, and nobody has any idea where he went. Some speculate drugs might have been involved, some think maybe it was romance-related. AMW actually brought in retired detective Joe Matthews to look into it. Mark is still missing. |
