View Full Version : What fugitives will never be caught? Or Who are you suprised hasn't been caught?

My vote for who will never be caught is Donald Eugene Webb and Victor Manuel Gerena. Webb brutally beat to death the cop who chased him after he committed a jewelery store robbery in the early eighties somewhere in Pennsylvania. Being that it happened in, I believe 1983, he has been on the FBI's ten most wanted list for a very long time. He is probably dead. Also, Gerena is the one responsible for the armored car robbery in which very much money was stolen and he injected his coworkers (He was an employee at the time) with an unknown substance, it had no effect. He has also been on the FBI's ten most wanted list. He is believed to have ties to hardline rebels in Puerts Rico who want independence from the U.S.A.

My vote for who I am surprised has not been caught is Blockledge. I believe his first name is Richard and he killed his girlfriend/wife, Tanya Koprick. He was an upset pharmacy student, and was dismissed from the university due to poor grades. This happened I believe in the late 80's. I am just surprised they have not caught this maniac.

Please post your thoughts as I think this will be an interesting topic??!!

has always struck me as very much the intellectual - the kind that can use his creative ways and superior intellect to evade authorities for as long as he wants to.

I believe one fugitive and one possible fugitive that might never be found are first fugitive William Bradford Bishop who murdered his entire family in the late 70s - Bishop was already in his mid 50s then and by now would be basically an aging senior citizen if not already dead. If he is still on the run it's basically a lock that his knowledge of the international scene as described in the segment is helping him elude capture. Another possible fugitive is Dale Kirkstetter who was accused of aiding a raid on platinum plant he worked at - it is possible that Dale was not involved at all and was murdered by the robbers but many here feel he was a willing participant. Either way he would be another one possibly in his 80s by now if indeed he went on the lam.

I'd like to add to this one person I was surprised to see captured is Jesse James Hollywood - I thought his dad with all his mafia connections would have kept his son hidden much longer then he did although I always believed he would be eventually flushed out. Also one capture I wished never would have happened was the case of Margo Freshwater - I have signed the "Free Margo" petition and hope that she is granted clemency as I don't believe her to be a criminal just someone who was caught up in the web of a madman's trail of murder.

What makes Bocklidge an intellectual?? The fact that he failed out of pharmacy school? Intellectuals are more oriented with philosophy, psychology and areas that require heavy reading and writing. Pharmacy requires a lot of studying, but it is more suited to the common overachiever. Bocklidge was simply not capable of succeeding and was more of a sociopath, in that he blamed everybody else for his shortcomings as a student. Remember how he went looking to murder the dean and the board that voted to keep him out? People who believe that the whole world is out to get them, see everyone and everything as a means to achieve something. This guy was a sociopath scumbag. Ted Bundy was highly intelligent and he was caught. Many highly intelligent criminals are apprehended. My theory is that he is hiding out in Northern Canada in a sparsely populated region.

Two words - Mike Riemer.

Did he kill his girlfriend, Diana Robertson, like I believe, or was he a victim of an unknown serial killer? Either way, there is still a fugitive at large that has killed at least three people, Diana and the two other campers who were killed a few months earlier. Both Diana and the female camper both had tube socks wrapped around their necks.

I actually do hope he gets caught for the hidious crime he committed however true intellect can not be measured in my opinion by how one does in school. I believe that Richard Bocklidge in many ways is a very intelligent individual and unfortunatley has not put his intelligence to good ends. I think he is another case of someone who was at one point extremely ambitious and perhaps might be an overachiever. The problem is that is cases with some people due to whatever demons they have not gotten rid of over the course of their life (and I would not be surprised if there are a ton of skeletons in Bocklidge's closet) that something can trigger them into a form of psychosis where all that ambition and energy is focussed onto something sinister than on more positive endevors. I think when Bocklidge was denied re-admission to the college I believe it sent his rapidly deteriorating mind over the edge and resulted in the horrid crime we have on our hands now.

One of the final symptoms of people such as Bocklidge is as you stated "the whole world is out to get them" another common statement from these people is "that the devil has consumed their soul". They begin to live their life in a constant state of fear and panic and one of two things usually happens - if turned inward usually a nervous breakdown and if outward an extreme act of violence as in this case. However if Bocklidge has been able to at least bury some of his demons since the time of the murder it is my OPINION that he is using all his intellect and focussing all his energy that at one point must have been focussed on more positive endevors on evading police - I don't think Dick Bocklidge will ever be caught personally but hope for society that he is because unless he has recieved treatment there is nothing stopping him from having another violent episode triggered by a benign event again.

government people are too heavily involved and are covering up the case.

were both professional hits or had the looks of a professional hit. Therefore finding the hitman might be small potatoes compared to finding who ordered the hit - Most of us can make a pretty good guess about who or what is behind a lot of these "mysterious deaths" I mean I believe in Morgan's case it had to be someone with access to some type of government agency. I mean LSD or whatever drug they gave him is pretty hard (and expensive) for Joe Schmoe to come by and an extreme way of intimidating someone. I think with Morgan, Casolaro, Doug Johnston, Tommy Burkett, Kevin Ives & Don Henry, Norman Ladner - the key to all of these lie in the government in the late 70s-late 80s. All these individuals ran afoul of either the FBI/witness protection program/drug ring gammit or our defense/CIA blackhawk program (for lack of a better term)

Casolaro & Morgan were both at the time of their death looking into various government cover ups or incidents surrounding our defense program. Whether it be the CIA or military defense or whatever. I think in both men's case they got pretty much close to revealing some information that would point out some corruption or flaws in our defense program. In Morgan's case it probably had to due with rouge CIA agents making a few bucks on the side selling weapons or information to the contras and in Danny Casolaro's case I won't even begin to speculate because I believe the young journalist hit upon a motherload of information that could have possibly resulted in the jailing and/or impeachment of several top government officials due to scandals in the Republican party in the 1980s. Doug Johnston is the true "innocent victim" in this whole plot because he didn't have any knowledge of any of these scandals and just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time as the hitman intended to kill Don Devereux who I believe by coming forward with his story on UM may have saved his life due to the knowledge that he was being targeted now being so widely known.


In the cases of Ives & Henry, Burkett and possibly Norman Ladner - all four seemed to run afoul of the drug rings in the southern United States in the 1980s-early 90s. There are a number of books on the topic of Mena Arkansas and Barry Seal and various drug cover ups and the FBI's involvement in these cover-ups involving the witness protection program. Although none of the allegations can be proven it is stunnng that all four youngsters deaths seemed to circle around the drug trade in one form or another.

mercy1825
03-28-2005, 06:17 PM
Here are some fugitives or suspects that I am surprised to see have not been tried and convicted for their crimes:

1. Sam Patel - suspected of murdering Joan Jefferies

2. Paul Pollis _ suspected of murdering his very large wife with aid from his own parents, I believe, in Girard Ohio.

3. Sherman - man who placed wife's skull outside his favorite hangout.

Note: I believe Timothy McClure is innocent and did not kill his mother on his wedding night in Reno Nevada due to lack of motive and the fact that by all accounts he had such a close relationshipo with her.

DarkDante
03-29-2005, 02:46 AM
I don't know what to think about McClure but there was a guy who I spoke with on this board around a year or so ago who worked with Tim McClure for several years after the death of his mother and in his words "Tim was one strange dude" - Apparently their job involved a lot of "people skills" and being able to work in groups and Tim would sort of keep to himself and always seemed very leary of people being around him and gave a lot of people "strange vibes"

take that for what it's worth.

Well maybe. It could have happened already. Remember from the end of the episode how the NLO plant has been inactive for 16 years now, though the building still remains with Bocks' remains somewhere in the premisis. I also feel those responsible were employed at the same plant. I

It would be ironic if that were to happen as they killed him to keep him quiet about safety violations, only to die themselves from the results of those very safety violations. It'd be karmic too.

Oh believe me, If you live in the United States, and think for yourself with half of a brain, you know how corrupt things are. In this country, the only thing that matters is money. With the so called "free-enterprise economy", it brings out the worst in people. Greed is so rampant in this country, just trust me, government cover ups and murders are much more common than the average person would be willing to believe or admit.

Dumb question: was Webb profiled on UM and on 12-13-89? From that episode's synopsis:

the FBI hunt for a Massachusetts man wanted, according to this report, in connection with the murder of a Pennsylvania police chief

I want to say that I've seen Webb's UM segment but if I have, it has been years since I've seen it.

Webb is either out of the country or dead. He was mentioned on the very FIRST UM episode when Burr went through the-then FBI top 10! Victor Gerena was also on the list and he's still at large. AMW has recently profiled him.

Zodiac,DB Cooper, Webb.. there are a ton of them that were profiled that won't be caught and the key word here is alive.

As for a question posed earlier why do people in the US believe that the government can be responsible for unsolved crimes? Well first of all, remember that we're Americans, we didn't get to be Americans because we enjoyed a lovely relationship with the last people that ruled us. We tend to be independent and suspicious.

Second of all, despite this, the US government has SADLY admitted to crimes, testing on citizens without their knowledge,Slavery/Jim Crowe laws were sanctioned if not endoresed, Internment during WW2 of minorities, domestic spying programs since the 1900s and a list too numerous to continue with, and all of them have given many good law abiding, flag waiving Americans pause to think.. yes its possible that the government Could do that.

The people that will never be caught are Gloria Schulze, Kenneth Frank, Frank Montenegro , William Bradford Bishop, Victor Genera, Donald Eugene Webb, Robert Fisher and James Bulger. I wish to God that they would be captured but I know they never will be. Victor Genera is in Cuba and protected by Fidel Castro. Unless we invade Cuba, he will remain free until he dies. I also believe Donald Eugene Webb is still alive but he is probably in his 60s. He's definitely in Europe and nobody knows what he looks like now. It's been almost 30 years. He is one of the lucky criminals who will get away with murder. The FBI should remove him from the ten most wanted list. There is no hope for his capture. I do believe however that Rufino Castenada will eventually be captured since AMW has broadcast his case many times. Maybe Robert Fisher will be caught but I'm not holding my breath. I hope I'm wrong. He should've gotten a divorce. Murder is not answer, Especially when it involves the children who were innocent. :mad:

Rufino Castenada has been caught, according to amw.com, in October '07. Finally. He's one of the ones I always hoped would be caught after seeing it on both shows.

I would be very surprised (but relieved) if they ever catch the man who raped and shot "Debby" as well as the case of the female victim who was raped (by two different men, I think) while on a canoe trip with her son.

But then again, I never thought they would have ever solved the double homicide of Joxanne Jeeves and her son.

From the WIKIPEDIA website-

Donald Eugene Webb (born July 14, 1931 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) is a fugitive from justice wanted for allegedly killing police chief Gregory Adams in the small community of Saxonburg, Pennsylvania on December 4, 1980. On May 4, 1981, he became the 375th fugitive to be placed on the Federal Bureau of Investigations's "Ten Most Wanted" list. Still at large after more than a quarter of a century, Webb was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List longer than any other fugitive since its creation in 1950, remaining on it for 25 years, 10 months, and 27 days.

He was removed from the list on March 31, 2007, without ever being located. He was replaced by Shauntay L. Henderson, who was caught on her very first day as a "Top Tenner." (Webb was placed on the list before Henderson was even born.)

He could easily pass for Dominican, Haitian, Brazilian, Jamaican, & Antiguan.

I'm not surprised he hasn't been found. He could be hiding in the hills of any number of those countries.

Angela Hammond's kidnapper (likely killer) will likely never be caught. I've always maintained it ISN'T Rob Shaver who did it

Paul Polis looks like he got away with murder, there isn't a case out there that screams "circumstantial evidence" to the ying yang, but still.......no proof

Mike Morris accused of putting a hit on his wife Mary. It was the case of the mistake hit that killed "another" Mary Morris accidentally. Who in the hell was he talking to when he called his own wife's cell phone after her frantic 911 call? My guess, the contract killer. $700,000 of life insurance money later Morris is rich and free

Larry Gibson will never be solved, yeah I know he did jail time but the body is probably in a cement block

Hmm, yes Waddada, I think Waddada, is probably out of the country so I agree with masterminds theory. Waddada as mastermind pointed out, can speak at least three different languages. Spanish, French and English. So besides being anywhere in the United States he could be in various Central and South American countries as well as in Canada, the UK, France, Spain, etc. If he is in the United States, my guess is he is in a large urban area such as Miami or New York where he had earlier ties.

Others I am surprised have remained on the run so long, Brad Bishop, but again he spoke 5 different languages and could be anywhere. He is another one I suspect is out of the country. There have been several confirmed sightings of him in Western Europe. Bishop speaks 5 languages, English, Spanish, French, Italian and Serbo-Croatian. Donald Eugene Webb, although it is suspected that Greg Adams might have shot Webb before Webb escaped and that Webb might have died later on from the gunshot wound.

Unless your a spy or terrorist, it's difficult to get other international jurisdictions to care or cooperate as much as domestic jurisdictions.

Was Brad Bishop even on the 10 most wanted list?

If your a caucasian male going to lam it, the best place to do so is in Europe.IMHO. As long as you can speak the language of that nation fluently, no one is going to question who your not a native. Plus, there a fewer US ties between police jurisdictions there than in places like Mexico or Latin America.

Well, Bishop is very smart and if anyone could hide out in plain sight it would be him. If I remember right there have been confirmed sightings of him in Italy, Switzerland and Sweden. Lots of people have gone on the lam in Europe. Ira Einhorn hid out over there for nearly 20 years. Joseph Maloney fled to over there and is probably still somewhere over there if he is still alive. John Hawkins was on the run in Europe for 5 years before he was captured in the Netherlands. Steve Wilson was on the run for 8 years, he was captured in England although he spent most of his time on the run in Florida. But yes, to be honest Europe, if you are a white male is the ideal place to hide out because it seems for the most part, European police could really give a crap less if some American is on the run over there.

I don't mean to sound unfeeling or macabre here, but investigation wise, that would be the best thing to happen.

If he kills again in the same manner, there is more a likelihood he will get caught and do time for that crime. It also would help in locating him.

Personally, I'd rather have him never caught than have him take out an entire other family and then get caught. Maybe that's just me.

I still wonder if he defected somewhere behind the Iron Curtain.

That's an interesting notion, being that he knew at least one Slavic language (Serbo-Croatian) and German, I think. Perhaps they offered him protection, the ability to completely take on a new identity in Eastern Europe or East Germany (the former being more likely, if I were assuming) in return for his services. But I'm unsure. Certainly JMO, but I don't see Brad Bishop getting in cahoots with any political entity. I see him as more of a loner, quasi-"survivalist" type squatting in areas that he's familiar and comfortable with (Italy, for example). I would suppose the rationale would be that any link at all to a government or political institution could be a potential link back to the U.S.

The fact that he appeared in Western Europe and NATO countries kind of dispels that theory. I mean I doubt the Soviet Union would have let him roam around Western Europe going back and forth.


He wasn't in intelligence, so it's not like he had anything to offer them.

It wouldn't be that difficult for the Soviets to find out that he was wanted for murder either. Would they really want a guy like him into their country?

While he wasn't in intelligence, he would still have had some security clearance and access to some information that would have been of interest to other governments.

Would they really allow a murderer in? Plenty of countries accepted far worse criminals after WWII for the information they possessed. His ability to speak English with an American accent could have been valuable in and of itself. As a government operative, he could have been traveling throughout western Europe. This would have given him the career satisfaction/importance he lacked with the US. More than one State Department employee switched teams during the Cold War.

Or, he could have become a Yugoslavian goat herder. :)

Since the I-70 killer was a thrill killer, i doubt he's living at all.

I personally think he killed himself or was arrested for some other crime.

For the most part, thrill killers rarely stop killing so suddenly. That' why I don;t think he's living or living free.

As a member of Zodiackiller.com and avid Z investigator, i am not surprised he hasn't been caught.

1.Because he only had 4 incidents, that each occurred in 4 different jurisdictions. He stopped killing for some reason and just wrote letters.
He was not the prolific and constant killer like the DC sniper and others. Z was mostly about his letters, than actual murders. Heck he only killed 5 people.

2.The Zodiac case did not even get into full blown investigation until his last attack in San Francisco. The best police detectives did not get on the case until the San Francisco murder. Prior to that it was 3 local small police departments that treated each Zodiac murder as if it was a separate incident. Heck nobody knew they were Zodiac killings until Z himself wrote and told them it was.

3. Z was not a normal serial killer. he was more of a terrorist. He knew exactly what he wanted to do and planned the murders. IMHO, Z had above average intelligence.

4. As a poster said before, Z was a lucky bastard

a. He was lucky that Mike Mageau wound up so messed up that he could never identify him.
b. He was lucky that the police at Cherry and Washington never arrested him
c. he was lucky that Arthur Leigh Alan (if he isn;t Z himself) came along and drew so much of the attention toward himself as Zodiac. This prevented people from looking at other suspects.


WHAT happened to that story a couple months ago of that California women who claimed her dad was the Zodiac and he even drove her around to some of the murder scenes! Did anything ever come of that??

Hoax.

I should mention that there has been a potential Ted Bundy connection to Zodiac. Not necessarily that Z was Ted, but it is interesting. You'll have to read about it elsewhere. ;)

Actually , Z tended to do the opposite. He took credit for crimes he didn't committ.

if anything I tend to think it's more possible that Z had fewer murders, rather than more murders:

1. It's not that far-fetched that the first killings at Lake Herman Road may not have been Zs and that he based the Blue Rock Springs murder to match the Lake Herman Road murder. After all, Z's writing campaign did not begin until after the second incident. For some reason the first incident didn't warrant a letter.

2. There have always been questions about the Stine murder. It's the oddball murder out of the bunch. There were some cab murders that happened around the time. Maybe Z found a way to take credit for this one.

Technically Blue Rock Springs was sloppy in that Z left a survivor who could have easily identified him.

Z was also sloppy at Lake Berryessa he left another victim alive.

He was even sloppy in Presidio Heights, considering he allowed a police officer to see his face.

Z could easily have not taken credit for any of those murders. Why would Z be scared.


[QUOTE]it's certainly possible....i knew he's linked to atleast 5 murders but claimed 37 lol

1. We made an effort to see if it was possible to like 37 murders to Z. Technically it is possible but I seriously doubt it.

2. I believe Z changed his bodycount in one of the letters. :rolleyes:

3. Considering what a liar and egomaniac Z was, I;m shocked he didn't say he killed 50 people. That along with his garbage cipher code and his ridiculous radian puzzle. :rolleyes:

4. Again, Z was not a normal serial killer, he was more of a terrorist, the murders were not necessarily of importance to him as much as the fear he could create via his letters.

5. Once made the claim that he would not announce his killings, Z really didn;t have to kill anymore. All he had to do was read the newspaper and take credit for any crime he wished. Like he did so often.

6. I personally believe that the fact that the composite sketch resembled him so much prompted Z to stop killing.

7. I think 37-0 may be another example of a 'secret Zodiac code". It may also represent a football score. I have read an unconfirmed report that there was a local area high school football game that had that exact score when that letter came out. That line can also be read as Z-37, P-0. Not sure what that would mean. Battleship maybe? Bingo?:D

8. It is also possible that the letter was a copycat letter. It's been speculated by many that a good percentage of the Z letters may not even be authentic.

9. You also have to keep in mind that Z has graduated to building bombs and shooting off little kiddies on the school bus. Doing simple murders would be a letdown.

Thrill killer is probably the wrong word. I mean the I-70 is a spree killer, rather than a serial killer.

A spree killer is someone like Charles Starkweather who killed several people within a week or so.

The highway gave its name to the "I-70 Killer," a serial killer who committed a string of murders within a few miles of it in several Midwestern states in the 1980s. No suspect has ever been apprehended despite the widespread publicity the murders have generated, including their being featured several times on the television show America's Most Wanted and Unsolved Mysteries. However, Herb Baumeister, from Westfield, Indiana, is widely suspected as being the killer. Baumeister committed suicide after numerous human bones were discovered on his estate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_70

But there are actually TWO I-70 Killers and the one featured on UM is the one who killed in the early 90s and then stopped killing for a while and then killed again in Texas.

So there is a suspect for the first I-70 killer who committed suicide but I don't think for the 2nd below and that was the one we all saw like the episode where they showed at the bridal store.

"I-70/I-35 Killer" (8+) Police are searching for a man who has killed five women and a man in at least three Midwestern states and three more women in Texas. Their prime suspect is male in his mid-20s to early 30s. He is described as thin, 5-foot-7, with sandy blond hair with a reddish tint and a day-old beard.

Spree killers kill a number of people at different locations within a very short timespan without cooldowns.

All three of the murderers you listed are different from the I-70 killer

1. Zodiac was probably more of a terrorist much like The Unabomber. He lived a normal life because killing wasn;t a compulsion for him as much as writing his letters was. Zodiac stopped killing most lkeley because he didn;t have to anymore. His letters and legend generated all the publicity he needed.


2. If you believe the Jon Benet Ramsey killer was an intruder, that murder was most likely the killers first and ONLY foray into murder. All indicators point to it being a revenge murder against John Ramsey. The murderer of Jon Benet Ramsey is NOT a serial criminal. If he was, considering how amateurish he handled Jon Benet murder, he'd be an easy person to catch. This intruder is living a normal life, because he'ws not a career criminal to begin with. He's some idiot who just got lucky of a one-shot murder.

Course if you believe that Patsy Ramsey is the killer. Well she's dead.



3. The West Virginia sniper is a spree killer IMHO. Such a stop to a crime spree over such a short period of a few days, usually indicates a radical change occured. Death, suicide or arrest.

My reasoning for why the I-70 killer is dead has to do with the fact that his profile is more of a spree killer or thrill killer, IMHO. Those type of killers tend to not stop unless arrested, incarcerated or

We never heard of it again so I suppose she wasn't that credible but she seemed to be quite intriguing at the time. I remember seeing a show about Zodiac suspects and even 1 or 2 others they suspect are dead now so he's most likely dead.

If Patsey Ramsey is the killer, it definitely won't be solved.

But if it' an intruder, how can it be unsolvable?
There so much we know
1. We have an extensive ransom note, that not only gives us a handwriting sample but a an extensive insight into the killers mind.
2. We have DNA that might be the killer's DNA.
3. We know that the killer has to be a close associate of the Ramseys that's visited the house multiple times.

That should be more than enough to find this "intruder".

I'll be darned if it's not one of the strangest murder cases we've encountered in the U.S. I have the feeling it will never be solved. I still hope that it will, I just have the feeling....

IMHO, It's only strange because of two things

1. ransom note in conjunction with the body being left at the scene. I think this case becomes a lot easier to understand if you assume that the killer never intended for her body to be found. Which I personally feel is the case.

2. It cannot be determined whether she was hit first or strangled first. Which one happened first changes the case dramatically. If she was hit first, the strangulation was a cover. If she was strangled first the blow was to killer her immediately.

Patsy Ramsey has pretty much been cleared as even John Walsh has adamantly said she has no connection to it and some big FBI guy like Clint Van Zandt said the same thing although I don't recall exactly which big FBI guy said that.


1. The only real reason they got cleared is because of the foreign DNA. That's it. Nothing else. Compare that the Mark Karr who got cleared for reasons other than the DNA (didn;t know the Ramseys, had an alibi.)

2. Patsy Ramsey was dead by the time she got cleared. So it became a moot point. This is an important point to keep in mind about this case. If Patsey murdered her daughter, the case is unsolvable! Nobody to prosecute.

3. Be careful of a lot of these FBI guys and profilers when they talk about this case. A lot of them did so when they had book deals and AFTER they retired. :rolleyes: Not like they have a job to risk losing if their incorrect.:rolleyes:

Mastermind what did you think of that report last year that got national news from some lady in San Fran who said her dad was the Zodiac killer and she drove around with him to some of his murders and even had some of the victims possessions. He's dead now.

We never heard of it again so I suppose she wasn't that credible but she seemed to be quite intriguing at the time.

Jack Tarrance?:confused: I don;t think he could remain sober enough to committ the Zodiac crimes.:D It's a hoax. The daughter is off her rocker. Do a google search and you'll see what I mean. Or go on to zodiackiller.com and you'll get the reall scoop on Jack.

I remember seeing a show about Zodiac suspects and even 1 or 2 others they suspect are dead now so he's most likely dead.

1. All of the 3 prime suspects for Zodiac are deceased. ( two of these guys were in bad shape to pyshical health to begin with.. Allen and Marshall)
a. Richard Gaikowski
b. Arthur Leigh Allen
c. Rick Marshall


That being said...Most of the investigators of the Zodiac killings are still alive and very active. And some of those guys were much older than Z's supposed demographic.

There could be another suspect out there that has yet to be discovered. That person may very well be alive.

Well, Bishop is very smart and if anyone could hide out in plain sight it would be him. If I remember right there have been confirmed sightings of him in Italy, Switzerland and Sweden. Lots of people have gone on the lam in Europe. Ira Einhorn hid out over there for nearly 20 years. Joseph Maloney fled to over there and is probably still somewhere over there if he is still alive. John Hawkins was on the run in Europe for 5 years before he was captured in the Netherlands. Steve Wilson was on the run for 8 years, he was captured in England although he spent most of his time on the run in Florida. But yes, to be honest Europe, if you are a white male is the ideal place to hide out because it seems for the most part, European police could really give a crap less if some American is on the run over there. Just to be accurate, John Hawkins was captured on the island of Sardinia, close to Italy. The tip that led to his capture came from a woman that lived in the Netherlands.

Notables that will probably never be solved that piss me off:

Jeffery Digman murder, people murdered to cover up people's underhanded **** always grinds my gears. And they usually aren't solved.

Joe Maloney: Total piece of garbage, abuser and spouse killer. He'd be in his 70's now if he is alive. Whevever you are better own up with Jesus soon Joe or you are getting yours real soon. European nations' ******** lack of an extradition treaty won't help you forever.

Tanya Van Cylenborg and her b/f Jay: Absoloute scum to send those tormenting greeting cards to grieving parents. I still think that case is solvable though. DNA is a wonderful thing.

Dog kennel arsonist: Only a complete lowlife would burn 59 dogs alive. I pray this trash is in prison for another crime. Somehow I doubt it though.

That clown who shot that poor woman in the face out of the black truck: Absoloutely senseless crime. It seemed solvable to me since there was a surviving eye witness. I never could understand that. She didn't know him, there wasn't a sexual assault or robbery, why in the world do that?

Lee Wackerhagen: There is some doubt whether he is the killer or a victim, but for osme reason the case always bugged me I hope its solved.

Those are the cases that stand out in my mind the most.
Those are the ones off the top of my head

There could be another suspect out there that has yet to be discovered. That person may very well be alive.

Am I the only one who thinks there might be something to the Unabomber/Zodiac being the same person theory?

Seems like there was a lot of compelling evidence. Kaczynski lived in the area at the time of the murders, bore a resemblance to him, the Zodiac killings stopped around the time the Unabomber killings started, and there was those mathematical codes as well.

I have always thought it was naive to think a killer can't change his MO. There are a lot of imaginative sickos out there, and Kascynski is clearly one of them.

Has this theory ever been disproved? I don't know of Ted Kascynski has ever been interviewed about it, probably couldn't believe anything he said the guy is probably certifiable.

I just am curious if anything was found to disprove this.

Dave Bocks- agreed. There is too much too lose for so many people in that case if the truth ever got out.

Keith Warren -agreed. Same as above.


Dale Kerstetter - there may be nothing to solve. The only crime there may be a case of grand larceny.

I don't think the murders of Keith Warren, Gary Grant Jr., Dave Bocks or disappearance of Dale Kerstetter will ever be solved.

I think Kerstetter, regardless of his possible complicity in the robbery, was disposed of shortly afterwards.

I probably differ from the majority of opinion here, but I think Boo Mason had some involvement in Gary Grant Jr.'s death (either directly or as a witness).

Others that have a less likelihood of being solved:

Ayleen (sp?) Conway
Judy Smith
Ralph Probst -- it wouldn't be surprising at all if some crooked police were involved in his death or cover up (my grandfather and uncle were police officers in Chicago in the same era; too bad they both passed away before I learned about this case.)
Tommy Burkett (although they have the name of the student who was harassing him, there was some unusual behavior by the police as well)
Charles Morgan/Danny Casolero
Footlocker skeleton's identity (someone posted on here a while back that it possibly was the exhumed remains of an old time criminal -- interesting, but who knows how credible that information is).

Okay, the one UM fugitive that I'm absolutely stunned has never been caught after all these years is Sal Guardado. At the time he committed his murder, the bum had lost his job and his car, was crashing on his girlfriend's aunt's couch, and I'd be shocked if even had enough money for bus fare outta town. I don't know how this guy was able to evade authorities for the rest of that day, let alone 27 years!

Also, given that he had such a violent, uncontrollable temper, I'm surprised he wouldn't done something else to draw attention to himself. I guess he could have escaped somewhere like Mexico or Puerto Rico, but where did he get the money to go there? Given how long it's been since there have been any sightings of him, I have to wonder if he's dead now.

I think he might be dead since he seemed like he could snap easily. He was not right next to the border so you're right, how would he have gotten there? He didn't have a car to escape in but made it out of the city and out of sight for all these years somehow. Weird.

The Wackers case is almost legendary in my opinion, one of the less serious of cases where an elderly couple who were or thought they were harrased by someone for years they heard sounds around their property and other phenomenon but no one ever saw anything happen even when the property was under surveillance and it's questionable if it ever happened.

I would also have to say Donald Webb, but I believe he's still alive today. However, if 10 or 20 years go by and we still haven't heard anything about him, we'll know he's dead for sure.

I think he's dead, but I think he died not long after the struggle with, and murder of, Greg Adams. I think either Adams shot and wounded him or he was shot accidentally, and that he didn't seek legitimate medical treatment for fear of being recognized and/or arrested, and subsequently died from his wound(s).

There's a thread about it here, although the answer given summed it up. In my opinion, it's the most hotly-debated UM case on these boards. There are a few different potential angles: Was it a random attacker? Was it Bill? Was it a family member? Were they making it all up? Unfortunately, we'll probably never know.

Randy Yager -- The Outlaws Motorcycle Gang has chapters throughout the world and he could be in Europe or Russia for all we know. Despite him being a USMS 15 Most Wanted Fugitive, I somewhat doubt he'll ever be captured.

Arthur Lee Washington -- He probably died from AIDS back in the 90's while on the run.

William Peter Fischer -- He fled with over $100,000 after the double homicide so he could have fled the country. However he was overweight, an alcoholic and was addicted to crack cocaine so I doubt he lived much longer.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

Also I'm inquiring as to why these UM fugitives (among many others) have never been caught. When mentioned, I also want to know if any of them were profiled on America's Most Wanted in the 1990's.

Pedro Uribe -- Drug kingpin who was part of Colombia's infamous Medellin Drug Cartel. Miguel Villegas, Luis and Ivan Arango and Hugo Balbin were also members in the drug operation. It's likely that all of these fugitives fled to Colombia after 1986. After the Medellin Cartel went down it's fairly possible that at least half of these fugitives were killed. Was this case on AMW in the 90's?

Richard Bare -- I am really surprised no one's ever been able to find Bare. I've read he may be dressing as a woman so I feel the FBI needs to do some age-enchanced photos of Bare, both looking as a man and as a woman. Aired on AMW from 1990-2004.

Lance Bedgood -- There's nothing about him to incidate why he's managed to be on the run for 25 years. Like Bare, an age-enhanced photo of him really needs to be done. Aired on AMW from 1990-2000.

Carlos Berdeja -- I wish more attention was given to this fugitive. After all, he's charged with killing a female co-worker by raping, bludgeoning, strangling and then running her over with a car. Was this case on AMW in the mid-late 90's?

Bin Laden is probably in Pakistan. U.S. troops are not allowed there so there is no chance in Hell he'll ever be caught or killed. No one even cares about Omar. If the U.S. and Afghan government wanted to, they would have captured him years ago.
you were partially right.

Here is the thing that people need to understand about the media and our government(especially the department of defense). the defense department must have some privacy to get their job done. Bin Laden is a perfect example. Good job by our military working together to make it happen.

In regards to caselero and chuck morgan I'm not sure what to think. you can't link the entire government (or any one agency) together in that. for the most part people that work for government agencies are law obiding citizens like everyone else. But like every other walk of life you have that small percentage of people that cheat and break the law and they ruin it for everyone else. clearly the law enforcement agencies have questionable tactics in the way they pursue high profile criminal organizations. My suggestion to people(like casselaro who was probably trying to do a good thing but paid the price) is to stay out of it and let the pros do their jobs. If they get into the wrong side of the law in the process it is their problem and they will probably pay for it in the end. I think too many people make too much of this and overplay it like it is hollywood.
