Here it is. These are our worst of the worst. 12 of the fugitives the forum members here at America's Most Wanted Fans want caught the most (with one additional Public Enemy #1). I appreciate all the nominations and weighed the different fugitives together to make a diverse grouping of fugitives wanted for all sorts of crimes. Let's see that all of our Most Wanted fugitives go down!
The Dirty Dozen
Gerald "Mike" Bullinger is wanted for the 2017 triple homicide of 57 year old Cheryl Baker (Bullinger's wife), 47 year-old Nadja Medley, and 14-year old Peyton Medley in Caldwell, Idaho. The alleged motive in the case is speculated to be Baker finding out about Bullinger's relationship with Nadja Medley while still married. Bullinger was able to fool both women by splitting time between Utah and Idaho, according to coverage of the case. It seems even local authorities are convinced Bullinger committed suicide shortly afterwards and his body has never been found, but this is such a tragic case it deserves to be on our list until the day he is found dead or alive.

Alleged account summary:
In 1993, Anna Marlene Reyes gave birth to her daughter, Crystal in Nogales, Mexico, then moved with her to Arizona. She was sent back to prison there for violating her parole. While incarcerated, she gave investigators key information about drug trafficking in Mexico which led to several arrests. Eventually, she and detective Avelino Tamala fell in love and trafficked drugs together. For some time, Crystal was living with her grandmother in Mexico when she went to live with Anna and Avelino in the US. The abuse that Anna and Avelino would inflict on Crystal included shaving off part of her hair and throwing snowballs at her. In the snowball incident, Crystal was only wearing pajamas which caused her to get severely cold and nearly die if it was not for a hot shower reviving her.
The abuse got even worse when Crystal had her hands and feet bound, and Avelino even stepping on her once while bound. Then Crystal was confined to a 20-inch dog crate where she constantly had to be in a bent position. This went on for weeks where Crystal began to starve, her skin withered by malnutrition. Anna and Avelino concluded their horrific abuse against Crystal, by binding her arms and wrapping her up with packing tape, then putting her body inside a cardboard box. The two went out and rode their bikes while Crystal died from everything the child had been put through.
Anna and Avelino buried Crystal in the desert that night in 1997, it being a year later until a partial skeleton was found. A former drug informant was told by Avelino that Crystal was dead but her body would never be located. An investigation was launched and Avelino actually described how Crystal died but was not arrested due to a lack of evidence. The partial skeleton that was found could not positively be identified as belonging to Crystal.
It wasn't until 2014 when Anna and Avelino's former housekeeper, Maria Gutierrez-Diaz told detectives about the abuse that she witnessed. Maria also told them that in 1997, she and her boyfriend were shot while driving, her boyfriend died from his wounds.
Maria testified that she saw Anna talk to what she recognized as one of the gunman right before the shooting. Investigators then finally got the DNA from Crystal's father, positively identifying the skeleton found in the desert.
Anna and Avelino were indicted on murder charges, this after they were both arrested for drug trafficking in 1998. In October of 2016, his trial started, Avelino then being convicted of Crystal's murder. He is scheduled to be sentenced in March 2017.
