Case suggestions for Season 1 of In Pursuit with John Walsh

A few other cases I wanted to bring up.

Neil Smith & Yolanda Cleveland - Accused of the 2008 drive-by shooting death of a Georgia man in front of his wife and two children. They've somehow managed to remain on the run for the past decade. The case was presented to Lifetime when they were producing the final season of AMW even though it didn't make the air in 2012. Perhaps Investigation Discovery may have a different perspective, hopefully.

Devin Brantley - Accused of taking part in the robbery and murder of a man in Indiana when he was only 15-years of age. He's been on the run for the past year somehow, so he has to be getting help. Devin should be really easy to catch in my opinion, especially since he may be in Detroit and fugitives hiding out there have been getting caught left, right and center recently.

David Cecilio Soto - Accused of taking part in a 2016 drive-by shooting in Modesto, California. As a result, an innocent 13-year old girl, Brisa Covarrubias was killed and her 15-year old brother was wounded. I'm mentioning this case simply because it involves the murder of a preteen child.

EDIT: Just learned that Neil Smith and Yolanda Cleveland have finally been caught! Going to update their thread now.

Some other cases

Brian Freeman - Wanted out of Arkansas for allegedly killing his ex-fiancee in Arkansas last year. He was just profile on Crime Watch Daily but with all due respect to that show, Investigation Discovery has a much larger viewership that would be more likely to help apprehend him. It's also a US Marshals case so I'm sure they would be suggesting it to the producers.

Michael Wiseman - Convicted of sexual exploitation of a minor in Arizona, then failed to register as a sex offender in 2013. Scottsdale where Michael is wanted out of has a distinctive history with AMW, since Gloria Schulze and Robert Fisher are also wanted out of there, so they may turn to In Pursuit to help locate Michael.

Eric Contreras - In 2013, Eric allegedly shot and killed a 21-year old father of an almost two-year old girl, because the victim did not buy Eric a beer at a Washington State party. I suggest the case just because of how tragic, senseless and idiotic the motive was.

Can't believe I forgot to mention Lester Eubanks for one of the rare cold cases- 1973 Ohio prison escapee who murdered a teenage girl during an attempted rape. Aired on AMW in the 1990's but seems like one of the more solvable pre-1980's cold cases should the new show want to take a chance.

Also John Blauvelt- Former Army recruiter who allegedly murdered his wife, Cati Blauvelt and then abducted a 17-year old girl from South Carolina. The girl was recovered, but Blauvelt is still out there. Possibly on the West Coast, California, Oregon, etc... case was also aired on Crime Watch Daily.

I know this case is pretty old, but I’d say air Alvin Scott, he murdered his girlfriend and her lover in 2001 in Georgia and is believed to be in Central Europe or Turkey, since he hasn’t been featured on a crime show since AMW in 2004.


Obviously as I’ve mentioned before this case is similar to Bishop in the aspect that Scott served in the Turkish Military intelligence, worked as a diplomat and has had sightings in the years since he went on the run.

A few more suggestions.

Natasha Myers & Stanley Morris - In 1999, Natasha and Stanley allegedly failed to look after their three young children in Palm Beach County, Florida. As a result, a candle caught fire and killed the three kids, ages two, four and five. After their arrest, they failed to appear in court and a warrant was issued for their arrest. Despite being wanted for nearly 20 years, Natasha would only be 44-years of age and Stanley would only be 60 so they are most likely still alive to this day.

Troy James Allison - Convicted rapist out of Texas who has failed to register as a sex offender since 2004. Despite the 14-year long manhunt, Troy would only be 65-years of age today so he is most likely still at large. I personally feel at 6'0 and 210 lbs, along with his tattoos, that he should stick out like a sore thumb if profiled.

Daniel Burch - Allegedly caused a 2015 multi-vehicle collision in Missouri with his semi-truck. As a result, two people were killed and four others were injured.

And the other thing about Lutts is he is 6'9", 235 lbs! We're all picking good cases story-wise, but whether someone has physically characteristics that would stand-out and have a chance of capture of course should also be factors. And I feel Lutts despite being a cold case would be great direct capture potential based on how much he stands out.

True. I don't want to get too far off course from the main topic since as I said up front I feel it doesn't make sense to suggest FBI top ten cases or US Marshals Top 15 cases since it's probably already a guarantee In Pursuit will air some of those cases. Although I do hope Alexis Flores is one of the cases finally aired.
