On another note, I decided to put the faces of the two full segment fugitives of each upcoming episode on the front page from here on out. With The Hunt, there were only 1 or 2 cases an episode so it was a tradition. I didn't want it to look like I was saying the brief 15 seconds of shame or missing child segments weren't as important so I had previously just advertised the next airing but with no captures yet I figure perhaps changing things up will help with my superstitious thinking lol.

Just a note I wouldn't get too discouraged we haven't had a technical direct capture yet. Many of the fugitives so far are possibly/probably in Mexico or another country in Central America and even if located it's often not as simple as you just go in there and arrest them. There have been a few cases on AMW where the town in Mexico was known but authorities wouldn't let the federal authorities arrest the suspect unless there was an exact address. Or even if they find out an exact actress they still need to go through legal filings, approvals etc...
It's about the leads and tracking them down and hopefully we'll see the show's first capture soon.

It's about the leads and tracking them down and hopefully we'll see the show's first capture soon. As we've probably talked about here before, there is a much higher percentage of fugitives fleeing the United States compared to the early seasons of AMW. In fact I checked AMW's first 50 direct captures and found only four of them who were apprehended outside of the United States. Those four captures took place in Canada. It's possible this was talked about in the case selection process as to how many fugitives to profile that may be outside the US. JW's shows can clearly catch people in a lot of countries (mostly Canada and Mexico however), but it is a lot easier to find fugitives still in the US. I'm sure we haven't ran out of those cases. |

Mexico has been a lot more cooperative than they used to be, current political controversies aside. For all we know, In Pursuit is about to capture one or more suspects from the first few episodes. It's just we won't get that instant satisfaction like with fugitives in the U.S. and may have to wait for the good news.  That's not to say some might not be in the U.S. and/or fled back to the U.S. |

Also, the upcoming case, Salvador Garcia, he probably fled to Mexico, but probably due to how large the states are, California and Florida seem to be the states where fugitives wanted from there hide in plain sight the most often, so I could see him still in California somewhere.

There's a Facebook post for questions to Callahan Walsh which he'll answer in a post-show video tomorrow after In Pursuit. I am thinking of asking if he'll take over the show entirely if his dad ever decides to retire, but not sure it's a respectful question to ask lol. (Callahan's doing a great job so far and I don't want John to EVER retire, but I assume he will one day, hopefully not for a while).
I'll think about it but hopefully overall people ask good questions. I appreciate someone asked him about a fugitive case (Alexis Flores).

John Walsh had a Facebook status "your tips have been coming in and they have been making a difference". Hopefully that's a good sign we're closer to the show's first capture than it might seem.

I still haven't seen the episode (as mentioned before because of my work schedule I unfortunately can't watch live and have to watch the later repeat and/or via ID Go). But I see a few people on social media (I was curious to see what was said about the episode even though I normally hate spoilers) that I feel were essentially blaming Lori/blaming the victim for dating Brian Freeman because she met him online.
You have to be VERY careful with who meet you online but while granted none of them have turned into long-term relationships I've had decent dates from the internet and not every guy on a dating site is a future John Walsh fugitive and not every girl is a psycho. As much as we don't like invading peoples privacy, make sure if the guy says he went to such and such college he actually went to such and such college etc...(it shouldnt get to the point of stalking but there should be some general Google and/or social media research).
Dating online is not the issue. Dating online and not doing your research/making sure things add up is normally the mistake people make. (In no way blaming Lori especially since I haven't even seen the episode yet, she's still the victim and nothing is her fault regardless- just saying in general dating online is fine as long as you're careful).
P.S. Many if not most of the other jealous and violent relationship partners on this season on In Pursuit were from a couple who met in person, not via online.

Ok. Spoiler wise, the 15 seconds of shame fugitives were Harlon Foss and Leticia Smith. Eitan Blasingame was aired as a missing child (with Michael Blasingame the alleged abductor) as well as Kimberli Amaya-Garcia (who simply disappeared and we don't know if there was an abductor or not). We kind of knew the cases but besides Kimberli not which segments they would be in.
The episode is itself I don't have much to spoil but that is a good thing as it means it gave all the information needed. I think the contrast between Sal Garcia Jr. and Brian Keith Freeman was Garcia was sort of a known hothead while Freeman was initially liked by Lori's family and had no known history of being violent.
They showed the video footage of Garcia "grieving" on the local news over her disappearance (he was interviewed when they still trying to find her)- but imo the telltale sign to suspect him was when he said Karen "loved" her daughter when she was still missing. Not "loves"- loved.
Brian Keith Freeman was odd in that I don't want to stereotype- he kind of looks like a violent beer drinking biker guy (there're plenty of bikers out there who are great people and not in a "gang" or anything of the sort), but he had no known history of violence. He simply became controlling a month after engagement to Lori. I would he say simply "snapped" over their break-up but it's a hard word to use when what he allegedly did was so calculated and premeditated.
I was very impressed by the maturity of Lori's teenage daughter, Selena, who had to start high school without her mom. She was incredibly strong considering what she has and will continue to go through.

Just a note that although I was quick I counted 45 non-parental/relative abduction fugitives from the In Pursuit drop-down tips menu. There are at least four fugitives an episode meaning 48 fugitives this season. With two being full segments it would leave three fugitives involved in a child abduction case to get a full segment. This would be speculation on my part but based on the severity of the cases I would guess Leticia Smith and Michael Blasingame as the two full segments with one wild card. Dimas Coronado would make sense under normal circumstances, but that case is might be too recent for In Pursuit to have had time to do a full segment so it may be someone else. Of course, this all depends on me counting correctly. And math was my only weak subject when I was in school. (Leave it to the Jewish kid to be an A student in everything but math lol). But yeah, I guess we'll see soon. Well I was wrong on 2 at least lol. It's also not outside the realm of possibility that a missing child without a known abductor case could get a 30 minute segment as well I'm assuming. |

According to online TV guide listings, the February 20th episode will feature Gerald "Mike" Bullinger and Tomas Magallon Gonzalez (there's the type of cases you were asking for 912th!)

I called it with the direct capture of Luis Frias! that's now SIX different channels John Walsh and crew have caught fugitives on (Fox, Lifetime, Justice Network, CNN, HLN, and now ID). Really awesome that the first ever fugitive is the first ever capture! And on the 31-year-anniversary of AMW's debut! |

I’m so glad Frias was caught on the 31st anniversary since AMW premiered and also I hope it’s the same result with FBI Ten Most Wanted, Lamont Stephenson.
