![]() ![]() Inidgo wasn't at home at the time her husband was busted and went on the run for a few more days. ![]() ![]() He was busted by an AMW tipster who saw the story of him and his wife Indigo McLaughlin and how they tried to entice a 14 year old girl into a sexual relationship with them. Several articles(including one where a marshal credits AMW) state his capture wouldn't have been possible without AMW yet he was marked as indirect.ĪMW #Capture 1084 Shannon Lee McLaughlin is another case. Marshals to the New Jersey/New York area where they just missed him but they were able to in time track him to Arizona based on information and informants they were able to get because of AMW. Juan Ramirez(you can find his case on vimeo) was wanted for the Christmas Day murder of his ex-girlfriend in North Carolina.Īfter AMW first aired his case,tipsters led the U.S. You read the capture report on him (via internet wayback) and it's made clear that while Marshals are the ones who ultimately caught him,they wouldn't have gotten on his trail if not for AMW viewers.Īnd yet other captures with similar circumstances never got a capture number. When I think of capture conundrums, I think of AMW Capture #696 Guierrin "Gary" Saintio. I'm still not entirely sure what he meant by that.Ĭan anybody else think of any bizarre direct capture moments? His response intrigued me he said they were not because it was "convoluted" and instead they were just calling it an AMW assist. I remember in 2011, after Derrick Best was captured and all the media outlets were claiming AMW had caught him, I actually sent a tweet to Steve Katz asking if Best was going to be marked as direct. Complicated? Yes, but that's the only reason I can think of as to why Freeman is a direct capture. If that had never happened, the US Marshals would never have gotten involved, which, in turn, would never have led to Freeman's capture. If AMW had never aired Freeman's case, Kylie would never have been ID'D as the victim in those videos. As a result of that, the US Marshals added Freeman to their 15 Most Wanted List, and the Marshals were the ones that tracked Freeman down in Hong Kong. My theory behind this? It was because of an AMW tipster that investigators discovered that Kylie Freeman was the little girl being victimized in all those child pornography videos. There is no indication that an AMW tipster spotted him in Hong Kong and then dropped a dime on him. The best example of this is Kenneth Freeman. Wang was also captured (I think) shortly after Xue.Īnd occasionally, you'll also get a direct capture that has no evidence that an AMW tip led to their capture, yet the show still takes credit for them. I'm not even kidding I just read Wang's archived capture report and it said as a result of the publicity generated by AMW, he was caught. Normally I wouldn't be upset about Xue not being counted as direct, except for the fact that Fu Wang was captured under the EXACT SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. A group of men who read the newspaper article recognized Xue, called the police and hogtied him until officers could arrive. AMW tips were right behind him, and as a result of the publicity, a newspaper in Mississippi published a story about the fugitive. This had happened with other fugitives not on the site before (Gerardo Martinez, Kit Kar Luong, Desiree Lingo-Perkins, etc.) so why was Inswood ignored?įinally, Nai Yin Xue. Inswood was never uploaded following the website's makeover in 2004. Every article I could find credited AMW with the fugitive's capture, yet the show never added his profile and never took credit for the capture. Then there's Calvin Inswood, who was given a brief profile in November 2003. So why was he marked as direct, yet Handy wasn't? Keep in mind this was the exact same way Esat Bici (Capture #723) was identified. However, someone called in saying the dead man was Handy, and thanks to that info, investigators were able to identify Handy as the man. He had drowned in a pool and was going to be buried under his alias. Clearly AMW was the reason the pair committed suicide, and yet the show never acknowledged this. After all, the show has captured more than 1,200 fugitives over the years.Īnd yet, one has to wonder if that number should be higher.Įspecially in AMW's later years, there were a ton of inconsistencies with captures that sounded like they were direct but were marked as indirect.įor example, we're all very well aware of the fact that Tina Loesch and Skye Hanson were both marked as indirect, even though both committed suicide the night of their broadcast and neither had been heard from in about 10 years. Looking at AMW's Direct Capture list, it's something to be proud of. I don't think we've had a topic on this before, but I know we've discussed it at various times throughout this forum and the previous forum's life.
