America's Most Wanted: Final Justice ep. Guide (1995/1996)

[DerekAMW]

From 1995 to 1996, a spin-off of America's Most Wanted titled America's Most Wanted: Final Justice aired. Updated in 2000, the show focused on what happened to the cases after the fugitives were captured as well as profiles of unsolved crimes. Some members on this forum probably watched the original version or saw the updated version in 2000/2001 or 2004. I found the msn.tv episode guide for the show and I felt that I should mention the cases I know about.

However there are many case descriptions that I don't know as to which case they're refering to. Any help on that would be greatly appreciated.

There are some cases which I good guesses as to what they were. They are; Ep #27: First case being the Manuel De Dios murder; Ep #84 might be Florencia Gooding; and the second case from Ep #135 may be Jennifer Lynn Pentilla.

It's annoying to me that many of the case descriptions listed are very vague, however hopefully some long-time AMW viewers can recall some of the cases.
