Still nothing on Fred McCaskill. For what it's worth, the last time we had a case with relative mystery- Troy Stanson- not many articles on him- he became a direct capture. Sometimes it works to In Pursuit's advantage when there's a mystery fugitive case since most of the fugitives have already fled specifically because of large media attention at least locally even without In Pursuit. When the case seems to come out of nowhere, it gives the fugitive less time to respond as well if they find out they were on the show. So we do have that going for us in this case.
Although part of me is wondering if McCaskill may have been captured already that there's still no news on him. I guess we'll find out tonight. But if he is still at large, if anyone can post a screenshot and send it to me if there's still no articles online I'd appreciate it. I don't know if it was my phone or what but I couldn't post a photo of Miguel Angel Martinez's brother because I kept being told my photo was too large. I'd like to actually make a thread on McCaskill if he is still at large after tomorrow night but will need a photo to do so.
Sometimes posters post photos from the show on Twitter, or In Pursuit themselves post on social media the photos of the night's cases so hopefully there's that too.

There is now an article on Fred McCaskill on ID. I didn't get a chance to watch the episode yet but will later but thankful I can finally make a profile (if anyone wants to beat me to it they can as well)

The theme of last night's episode seemed to be two paranoid and controlling losers who are also unfortunately very violent. Interestingly both cases were men dating older women as well.
Episode gave me some hope capturing Guerrero may be easier than thought since he has ties to Arizona and is said to still be possibly in California as well. That's not to say he might not have fled to Mexico anyway, but it's not as obvious as other cases.
Fred McCaskill episode was interesting in that other than child molestation cases, it's the first time we ever saw Callahan interview a victim of a violent crime that actually survived. I thought they did a very good job with the segment and illustrating how brutal the attack was and that McCaskill needs to get caught.
A reminder that next week the main segment fugitives are Torin & Rena Smith and Carnell Spencer Lee Jr.

Reminder: new episode tonight at 10, let's get this guys while there's more people at home to watch! (Sorry for the reason, but a small silver lining).

Ugh wrote a lengthy review and accidentally deleted it.
In any case the show did a good job. I did not know Torin Smith allegedly molested his daughters as well which is very disturbing.
Interesting aspect in the Carnell Lee case in that it takes place in Hollywood Florida which is the same city as the Walsh family's tragedy. John of course makes mention of this and I thought the show did a great job in portraying how allegedly violent Lee was and how tragic and undeserving a victim Coretta Bain was.
Sorry for the somewhat shorter than usual review but I didn't want to break my phone if I accidentally deleted the lengthier one again.
Only two episodes left! Feel sad but accomplished at the same time about that.

While we saw Erik Addison captured, we haven't had a full segment capture since William Stanson. I felt the timing was right to attempt an unjinxing.

Just wanted to express my frustration that Torin and Rena’s church paid for their bail money and enabled the two to go on the run. Great job guys, NOT!

People who supported those two creeps and offered money to bail them out should be arrested for aiding and betting the fugtives of the law., Because what they did is wrong.

Since tvguide.com ruined it anyway, can now reveal the first fugitive in the season finale on April 1st will be Frank Contreras, wanted for killing his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend right in front of the ex-girlfriend's 7-year-old child. However, for a few reasons I am waiting until either an article previewing the case and/or after the airing to make an official thread on the case. www.google.com/amp/s/abc30.com/amp/1609010

Have a few thoughts on the episode but may not get a chance until later in morning to do so. If I get a chance I'll delete this and write a review.

Ok here's my thoughts on last night's episode:
-Thankfully, In Pursuit only interviewed Tammy's family and police officials and not Eugene Palmer's smarmy a** kids. I understand wanting to sho fairness but those two sons added nothing to do the story other than blame Tammy for her own murder. I think they also did a good job of showing Palmer may still be alive and on the run- premeditation, possible accomplices sightings etc..
-I'm really glad In Pursuit and U.S. Marshals took on the search for Tamera Williams, since I'm sorry as I don't usually criticize police departments as we sometimes have to work with them but I'm sorry- the Melvindale Michigan P.D. came across as complete morons.
They check on the apartment say it looks clean and it takes David Carter and then his family goes in and finds blood and a bullet hole and the officer still doesn't take it seriously. Furthermore, they let Williams go citing a lack of evidence. Then Carter's family apparently finds out she's now charged and on the run without being told!
Also Melvindale P.D. (in fairness Wayne County DA as well) declined to participate in the show! I understand the need to be tight-lipped but sometimes revealing key details to the public actually helps solve the case.
Sorry but to me they came across as incompetent and arrogant and I really hope In Pursuit and the Marshals get Williams captured.
If Williams is ever captured, I hope the public is asked to send in any information if they have om David Carter's murder as well since I want to make sure they can secure a conviction after botching the case so badly initially.
Sorry for the rant but next week is the season finale- which once again was always the scheduled season finale even before coronavirus. And that's season not series- although hopefully this pandemic goes away quickly enough for the show to get to work on season 3 sooner rather than later.

Finally added a thread for Contreras since there are official articles now. Season 2 finale tonight! Bittersweet- looking forward to it but sad the season is ending!

Going to reverse course and review first edit the site later since this was the Season 2 finale.
-What a piece of sh** Frank Contreras is, whose 7-year-old son not only witnessed Contreras shoot his mom but also yelled at him to stop. It was heartbreaking to even watch the police cam interview between Officer Avila and the boy, so I can't even imagine how Officer Avila must have felt.
-While the airing on Abby Williams and Libby German's case didn't reveal any new information, I don't mean that as a criticism as you risk jeopardizing an investigation every time you reveal new information, it was still important to get their case on the air and to more public eyes. Everyone's attention is diverted now, so while it may look like everyone knows about Abby and Libby to us, the average person to us, especially outside of Indiana and perhaps even in Indiana, does not.
-Missing child mentions were as we alluded to in their threads- Osiel Rico and Andrew Cabelleiro.
-15 seconds of shame fugitives were a fugitive wanted for murder named Steven Todd (who I'll add to the site later tonight or tomorrow at the latest) and AMW cold case fugitive Javier Oropesa.
It was a great second season and I hope even with the coronavirus stuff going on Season 3 gets to work as quickly as possible.
I hope there are still a few direct captures in the works, hopefully fugitives already on our forum so I don't have to get crap about how the only two definitive direct captures as a result of tipsters were brand new cases the show introduced (we can only profile the cases we find on the internet and those fugitives already knew they were fugitives even without this site to get a head start). But other than that I'm satisfied with how the season went, Jupiter Entertainment (the new production company) did a great job and with so many Americans forced to stay home right now, while I don't want to call anything a silver lining, hopefully there will still be marathons of seasons 1 and 2 to get those extra eyeballs who didn't get a chance to watch initially.

Just saw the season finale and I wanted to give kudos to everyone who helped make a Season Two a reality! This goes to the ID staff, the law enforcement agencies, the family and friends of the victims and especially to the loyal viewers!
Definitely an improvement from Season 1 to Season 2 and I'm glad that Jupiter Entertainment stepped up to the plate to keep the high-quality standards of the AMW era (ZeroPointZero also gets credit for that as far as Season 1 and The Hunt all things considered).

Was looking for proof I was the first to acknowledge this and explaining why In Pursuit has better luck with "unknown" cases and here it is, and I was prophetic once again.
