his wife's basement is like a prison itself- it's nice to know he wasn't entirely free and going on road trips and enjoying some kind of high life while on the run at least.
Chief Adams' final gunshot hit its target with Webb spending a month at the Toby Hospital to recover from the leg wound and remaining hobbled during his time hiding out given the black cane found in the house that his wife wasn't using. Adams got his revenge so it seems.
Still wonder why no one at the hospital had questions about the wound severe enough for a long hospital stay or heard any APBs for a wounded killer of a police chief...or recognizing Webb being a FBI Top Tenner. Suspicious.
Something about Webb's remains stored in Tupperware seems darkly amusing for a Hitchcock twist.

Unexpected news to me. Still wonder if Webb limped around after getting shot by Chief Adams... probably that old war injury excuse. Webb dying from Lead poisoning from the bullet maybe..,that would be ironic.

"The Prophet" got a tad overconfident...
but then, with that title, who wouldn't be?

The Brian Wells Pizza bomb case was the inspiration for a "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" episode. "Pas De Deux" was the episode title. There was even a mention from Detective Eames about a connected case that was profiled on a fictional tv show called "American Fugitive."
The criminal mastermind in that episode was played by Charles Rocket (the man who uttered the "F" word on "Saturday Night Live" and got fired from the show) in one of his final performances before his suicide in 2005.
The Brian Wells case was also the inspiration for the 2011 raunchy comedy "30 Minutes or Less" about two pizza delivery guys getting involved in an elaborate criminal plan by a gang of crooks.

I voted Jason Brown. Mr "center of attention of the party" or "straighten your placemat" may trip himself up with his personality quirks at any given time.

What I find interesting is it says company officials weren't aware of the slayings. I wonder if this means there was no disclosure law or anything like that. I personally think a similar store may be too close to home (for example, in the 1990's there was a mass murder of workers at a Queens Wendy's and the store was torn down and replaced by a bank and a few small stores rather than another fast food joint. Another Wendy's or Fast Food would not have felt right). But it is nice to see the charity donation and moment of silence. The McDonalds in San Ysidro CA where James Huberty killed 21 people in 1984 was torn down with McDonalds donating the property to the city and having a memorial plaque placed at the location. Another McDonalds building was built at a close location away from the property.

I first learned about the Etan Patz case from the NBC comedy/reality series "Real People". It stood out because most of the content on "Real People" were humorous in profiling eccentric people or newspaper headline misprints or funny photos and this case was presented seriously without any audience laughter.
It was the first of a series of missing children segments that was narrated by host John Barbour. Rather jarring for one used to the comedy content in the program but important to present to a national viewing audience at the time. A later segment profiled the Adam Walsh case 10 years before America's Most Wanted premiered.
Probably the first crime reenactment segment for a prime time non-news/entertainment program of its time (1979) ("The FBI" tv series changed names and fictionalized some storyline scenes for dramatic effect)...the segment ended with photos of other missing children and a phone number tipline to contact with information...not sure if the Center for Missing Children was in existence, but this segment and the "Adam" tv movie with Daniel J. Travanti playing John Walsh also on NBC could have started its formation.

The BC in Hong Kong meant British Colony before the rule was turned over to China in 1997. Not clear if Choi had gang connections.

I unfortunately don't have any other info and it is rather depressing how many of the wanted fugitives from final justice are still not located. Did ANY of the Final Justice fugitives who were profiled as still on the run get caught? While AMW has great results, that show was a bad luck charm. . I think there was one fugitive named Adrian "Tony" Tena who was wanted for a murder of a teen girl acquaintance...he took exception to the girl referring to a friend with a nickname of "Hey, B-word (euphemism)" that was not meant to be malicious and shot her. Tena fled to Mexico. Final Justice aired Tena's profile with a message crawl at the end stating Tena was found murdered in Mexico. No mention of suspects captured in Tena's death.

Okay I'm excited that the Justice Network will be premiering tonight and all (of course not in Canada) but it's kind of sad that they aren't covering the New York City, Los Angeles or Chicago media markets yet. www.justicenetworktv.com/find-justice/
Not in the San Francisco Bay Area market, either. Sacramento CA tv station KXTV Channel 10 carries Justice Network on a digital subchannel...but too far to receive by over the air tv or by cable in my area.

If anyone is a subscriber to Comcast Cable/Xfinity, the Free On Demand section under the "Local" category has a selection of short 1 to 2 minute segments on various FBI wanted fugitive profiles and missing children profiles...usually a photo of the fugitive or missing child with an announcer reading the descriptive text on screen of the fugitives' crime, descriptions, updated photos, and possible whereabouts or missing children descriptions and possible fugitive parents if the child was abducted in custody disputes. The fugitive and missing kids profiles usually stay for about two to three months before they are replaced with new profiles of other fugitives/missing kids. Old profiles may return in future dates.
On occasion, "capture" segments may be created with the date of the fugitive capture with no announcer voice and without any circumstances on how or where the takedown went down.
Just like old AMW times.
