Another fugitive who was profiled on Unsolved Mysteries has been captured. His name is Gordon Douglas Weaver. Profiled on the show in 2001, he has also been featured on America's Most Wanted. He was wanted for the 1999 arson murder of his wife. It has been reported that life insurance money was the motivating factor.

According to the link below, he was arrested in Oregon, and will be extradited back to Minnesota to face the charge of first-degree murder.

You can read more about it here as well.

AMW capture #796!

The Malaika Griffin case will be on tonight's show for the seventh time. She's the Caucasian-hating woman who killed her neighbor in 1999. UM did a segment on her in August 2001.

I found on the msnbc website that Dateline NBC did a segment on the Gordon Weaver case. It's pretty good. It even talks about his life in Oregon and how he was found out and arrested. He pulled some crap on a family there, too. You can either read the transcript of the show or you can watch the actual episode. Check it out. Here's the link:

Yeah, Weaver was granted a new trial last year. I have not heard anything since, so I am assuming the retrial has not got underway yet. Weaver was convicted of 2nd degree murder at his first trial and was sentenced to I believe 25 years in prison.

Gordon Weaver earlier this year was convicted again. This time he waived a jury trial and had a bench trial. However the judge found Weaver guilty of the lesser included charge of second degree unintentional murder. In his first trial Weaver was found guilty of second degree intentional murder. Under Minnesota law, second degree unintentional murder has a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. Weaver the first time around was sentenced to 25 years in prison as the maximum penalty for intentional second degree murder is 40 years. This time Weaver was sentenced to the maximum 15 years in prison for the murder, plus an additional four years for arson to run consecutive, so he was sentenced to a total of 19 years in prison. He is due to be released November 15th, 2016. His original release date before his first conviction was reversed had been in November of 2021.

Also the prison Gordon Weaver is in, is about 15 miles or so from my house. It is in Faribault, Minnesota which the prison there is a medium security facility.
