I was browsing through entire seasons of Forensic Files and didn't realize they had done an episode on this case. Hell, had we known, we would've seen a pic of Richezza long ago. I got it here if anyone's interested. Same story, but gives a little more background history on Richezza.

I was concerned to see if the statute of limitations may have run out, given that it's been 12 years. Not really familiar with the statutes, so I can't really say if it has or not. Also, I do find it weird the FBI took him off their most wanted lists online after only a year and a half. Even if he fled to Vietnam, the FBI has fugitives that are more than likely in Russia, and I believe it would be easier to get a fugitive from Vietnam than Russia. I just don't know what to think of if.

[/p](As of January 2004, based on FBI.Gov website archives)[/p]
Name: Hai Thanh Le (aliases: Teo Nguyen, Hai Lee) Sex: Male Race: Asian (Vietnamese) Date of Birth: 03/22/1980 (also used 5/24/1981) Place of Birth: Vietnam Height: 5'8 Weight: 145 pounds Eyes: Brown Hair: Black Scars/Tattoos: None known Who to call if you've seen him: Nearest FBI field office or embassy or submit a web tip at tips.fbi.gov.
Hai Thanh Le is wanted for his role in the attempted murder of a police officer, an attack which left the officer paralyzed.
On November 19, 2002, off-duty NYPD officer Hung Nguyen was visiting a friend at his bar in Jersey City, New Jersey. Also there were Uyen "Wendy" Nguyen Le, Mai "Mike" Nguyen, Hai Thanh Le and Binh Nguyen. All four were members of a local oriental gang. When the bar owner tried closing the bar, the four refused to leave. Hung Nguyen intervened after the four became rowdy, and got them to leave. They quickly came back and attacked the officer. Using bar stools, the four beat Nguyen over his head, neck, and back. He suffered two broken bones in his arms, and two crushed vertebraes in his back. He was left paralyzed from the chest down. Binh Nguyen and Mike Nguyen quickly turned themselves in, but siblings Wendy Nguyen Le and Hai Thanh Le went on the run. After being profiled on AMW in 2003, Wendy Le was arrested in the "Little Saigon" neighborhood near Los Angeles as a direct result from a tip from AMW. They questioned her regarding her brother's whereabouts, but she did not cooperate, stating she hadn't seen him since the incident. Hai Thanh Le is still on the run.
Thoughts? Le was born in Vietnam, and the FBI believed the four may have been trying to flee there shortly after the crime. There's a good chance he eventually fled there after all this time. Then again, he could be hiding out in some Vietnamese community anywhere in this country.
Thoughts?

When I had Netflix, I usually used it for documentaries and old movies I'd forgotten about. Unfortunately, I don't have it anymore.
And yes, the Shield has one of the greatest pilot and finale episodes of all time. Well worth the watch.
Two shows that have caught my eye are Chicago Fire (as well as Chicago PD) and Hannibal. Might start with those

I'm thinking maybe one of you guys can help me. Usually, there's a tv show on the air that I watch religiously. However, when Justified ends this season, I won't have one. Are there any shows out there you guys can recommend? And not just shows currently playing; I also am looking for shows that have ended already to get into.

For the first vote, I'm voting for Horowitz, for the fact that he fled over the world and eventually caught in India.
For the second vote, I'm voting for Medina, due to him being on the run for over a decade. And, yeah, his victim threw himself over his family to protect them.

I live about 30 minutes from Ferguson, so all of this stuff has been shoved in my face to the point where I honestly don't care anymore. The acts of brutality, plus the protests, are just exhausting to hear about. This, on the other hand, is something else all together. I don't care what side you're on, this is completely unacceptable. Attacking police officers accomplishes nothing, it just makes it worse. If this guy was associated with the protesters, he just destroyed their cause. All in all, it's a tragic case that 2 officers lost their lives for nothing.

If only his skull was found, with no signs of trauma, then unless the rest of his body is found, I doubt we will ever discover the true cause of death.
As for why only his skull was found, I'm going assume wild animals probably ravaged his body and tore it apart. Then again, I'm not sure if the area is heavily populated by wildlife, but if there are wolves or coyotes in that area, they probably took care of the body.

For the first one, it's a tough call. Without AMW, it seems that both fugitives probably would never have been identified. Hernandez didn't seem like she was ever gonna be captured/identified after 30 years on the run. Bici, though, got national press for his hate crime. I'll give the vote to Bici, for the violent nature of his death, the national press he got, and since I think he'd be harder to identify than Hernandez had it not been for AMW.
Second votes for Stoneman and Kelley, for already stated reasons

I always thought that them capturing Yager and finding out that Jelovic was killed some time before would be the worst possible outcome of this case, but I find this to be worse. Not only did Jelovic not even try to contact her family and let them know she was alright, when they were worried she was dead, but, in the end, she ends up dead anyway. I can only imagine how bad the family must feel.

I'll vote for the Richardson's due to them being the only twin captures, and for Holberg due to the brutality of her murder.

I've read several different claims of how Michael died and where his body is; from being thrown off a bridge still alive, to being drowned in a bathtub, to being buried in a cemetery. Hopefully, this latest search will uncover what really happened.
And while I'm iffy on the death penalty, Floyd is someone I'll be quite happy to see executed. Unfortunately, I don't think it'll happen. The guy's in his 70s, and I don't think they've set an execution date yet. I see Floyd dying in prison before he gets the punishment he deserves.
