 (Above photo credit: ktla.com via San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department) From ktla.com: Deputies sought a man on Saturday after he killed a 35-year-old woman at his home in Hesperia, robbed an elderly man in Apple Valley, then left the woman’s body in a field, authorities said. Phillip Williamson, 37, was considered “armed and dangerous,” according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. Authorities were first notified of trouble about 10 a.m. Friday with a report of a robbery at a home int he 20000 block of Wisconsin Street in Apple Valley, sheriff’s officials said in a written statement. A 76-year-old man reported that Williamson, who he knew, “confronted him at his home and forced him to give him several hundred dollars and a handgun,” the statement said. Williamson then told the victim to look inside the Hyundai he was driving, saying that there was a dead woman inside. “The victim believed there was a body partially hidden inside the vehicle,” the sheriff’s department statement said. Williamson then drove away. Investigators searched Williamson’s home in the 19100 block of Yucca Street in Hesperia, where they found what they described as evidence of a struggle. An arrest warrant for Williamson was issued. The Hyundai Williamson had been driving turned up about 10:40 p.m. in a dirt field along Wisconsin Street in Apple Valley, authorities said. The body of 35-year-old Brandi Jones of Hesperia was found inside. No information was released regarding how she died. Both victims knew Williamson prior to Friday’s violence, officials said. Their relationships were not clear. Williamson remained at large Saturday. Anyone who spots him was urged to call 911 immediately. Anyone with information can reach San Bernardino Sheriff’s Detective James Tebbetts at 909-387-3589. Tips may also be submitted anonymously to We-Tip at 800-782-7463.ktla.com/2019/08/31/hesperia-man-sought-in-connection-with-killing-of-woman-robbery-of-elderly-man/Thoughts? Based on local news reports, Williamson was still at large at least as of September 1st, 2019. Hopefully this breaking news manhunt ends soon before anyone else is allegedly harmed by Williamson.

With Williamson seemingly still unaccounted for after over a month, he has been named forum case of the week for October 6th-12th as I have a great fear for the public with him seemingly still out there.

What concerns me is that upon putting "Phillip Williamson Hesperia" into Google News searches, the last article was from September 12th!
Please Tom Morris and the Live PD: Wanted producers, get this guy on your show before he allegedly ends up killing someone else.

It looks like the producers of Live PD: Wanted listened to HeadMarshal's advice as Williamson was profiled on last night's debut episode! Finally, some more exposure for a case that has been severely underpublicized. I will move this thread to the Fugitives on TV section as a result of the A&E profile.

I think part of the reason for the lack of publicity was this had pretty much been a confined manhunt- his crime spree mainly happened in Hesperia and as of last month at least it was unlikely he had left the general area or county- so while I assume it was big local news usually big local stories don't always get national attention. There wasn't a need to tell someone living in Kentucky about a guy likely still around Hesperia.
However, a month later and with Williamson still not caught, he could be anywhere right now and that's probably what's changed things a little as far as publicity.
That's not to say he might not still be in the local area, and perhaps that's still the most likely scenario, but enough time is passed I feel that Williamson could have possibly crossed into Mexico. Or he could be elsewhere in the U.S.

Great that this manhunt ended before the full-year mark, I was also getting worried with the lack of publicity and updates. |

I was thinking they thought he was dead or something (even I was beginning to wonder, usually when I think a fugitive is dead, 99 percent of the time I'm right, glad this is a rare time I was wrong so we have some answers and hopefully justice for the victims).
