The NorCal Rapist: Since 1991, police believe that one man has been responsible for a series of sexual assaults on women in various Northern California communities. He's been dubbed 'The NorCal Rapist' and since his last attack in October of 2006, cops have intensified the search for this serial predator.
Unknown Sean Aquitania Killer: On Sept. 14, 2007, Elk Grove School District bus driver, Cathy Snow, witnessed an unforgettable tragedy. At the end of her shift, a man ran along side her bus with a dying baby in his arms. He handed the child off to a stunned Snow, but it was too late...the 7-month-old baby's injuries were far too severe. Now, authorities in Sacramento, Calif. are on the lookout for two men responsible for the murder of young Sean Aquitania Jr. who was injured during a home invasion robbery that also claimed his father's life.
Maribel Vasquez: For months, accused madam Maribel Rodriguez Vasquez has eluded arrest by federal agents for the atrocious crimes of illegally importing young, innocent girls from Guatemala and forcing them into the brutal life of sexual servitude. Law enforcement officials recently bolstered their efforts to find Vasquez by naming her as one of the FBI's Top Ten Fugitives in Los Angeles and they say that it is only a matter of time until she is captured.
Jurel Roberson: When three army buddies on leave from Iraq headed for a night out to a Tucson, Ariz. nightclub, it seemed like the perfect recipe for some much needed rest and relaxation. However, cops say one of the men chatted up a woman, and her boyfriend -- Jurel Roberson -- may have taken their conversation the wrong way. Hours later, police tell AMW that Roberson gunned down 25-year-old Army Spc. Robert Glenn and left another man wounded in a deadly drive-by shooting.
Delbert Sampson: Delaware State Police are seeking information on the whereabouts of a convicted child molester, Delbert Duane Sampson, who they say bolted from the state after failing to register as a sex offender.
Roger Day: Investigators for the Department of Defense are gunning for a con artist with a knack for intrigue. Agents say Roger Charles Day, Jr. may have faked his own death in an attempt to escape prosecution for defrauding the DOD out of $8.4 million in defense contracts.
Pedro Ortiz: A South Boston teen, expecting a fair fight, set out to settle a score in his Dorchester, Mass. neighborhood. But when he arrived, he was mobbed by six attackers ranging in age from 16 to nearly 30. What ensued was a savage beating in full public view.
Brianna Denison: One day after Reno authorities found female remains in an industrial area of southeast Reno, an autopsy has tragically confirmed that the body is that of Brianna Denison. Police say that Brianna was found in a vacant, undeveloped field about 8 miles from where the 19-year-old college student was last seen. The field had up until recently been covered in snow and cops believe that her body had been there for more than a week. The autopsy showed that Brianna had been strangled and now Reno authorities believe that they have a serial rapist on their hands since DNA evidence has linked Brianna's case to three other incidents. The Denison family spoke with AMW today to urge the public to keep a watchful eye for clues leading to Brianna's killer because "now we're on a manhunt."
A Special Visit From Arnold Schwarzenegger: AMW host John Walsh met recently with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the Governor said he strongly believes in DNA database collection, both to convict the guilty and to exonerate the innocent.

America's Most Wanted 04-05-08
Are you interested in some of the cases America's Most Wanted is covering? Do you want to know the latest update? Just click on the name for more details.
Emigdio Preciado: On September 5, 2000, cops say Emigdio Preciado, Jr. -- a reputed member of a Whittier, Calif. street gang -- was pulled over for a busted headlight when he shot a Sheriff's Deputy. On March 14, 2007, the FBI added Preciado to their Ten Most Wanted list, and now, the FBI have upped the ante: the bounty for information leading to this fugitive's arrest is now up to $200,000.
Elby Hars: When Elby Hars was released from jail for sexually abusing his daughter, cops say his victim did more than just forgive and forget.
Paul Jackson: Cops say that when Paul Erven Jackson went to visit his brother, the pair didn't engage in the usual family bonding. Instead, police believe they lured teenage girls back to a homemade sex-torture chamber. While Jackson is still on the run, Vance Roberts turned himself in back in September of 2006 and was convicted on June 6, 2007 after an hour of jury deliberation on 24 counts of charges ranging from first-degree kidnap to first-degree rape. On August 3, 2007, Judge Timothy Alexander sentenced Roberts to 108 years in prison.
Alexis Flores: Iriana DeJesus, 5, was found sexually assaulted and strangled to death in an empty apartment complex near her house in 2000. For years, the case went unsolved, but in March, the FBI in Philadelphia got the break they were looking for: a DNA match from a convicted criminal in another state.
Dan Hiers: Dan Hiers, a former cop as well as an accused murderer and child molester, is on the U.S. Marshals' 15 Most Wanted List and is one of AMW'S Dirty Dozen. It's been three years since cops say he killed his wife, stole her truck, and fled South Carolina. The victim's mother, Sueli Cohe de Araujo, just flew to Charleston from Brazil for a memorial service on March 15th, the anniversary of Mila's senseless murder - celebrating her life and reminding the public that Hiers is still on the run. Now, this week, we're hoping you can help us track him down and teach him a thing or two about justice.
Greisy Valencia: Greisy Valencia has been eluding authorities since 2002 when her then 11-year-old daughter was discovered by cops wandering the streets -- a victim of extreme abuse. Cops desperately want to get this mother in custody and our seeking any clues about her whereabouts.
Mark Everett: Once upon a time, Mark Everett was a child actor who craved time in front of the camera. Now, cops say he's a killer on the lam who's doing everything he can to stay out of sight -- and his run from justice isn't easy with a kid in tow.
Cesar Laurean: Missing U.S. Marine Cesar Laurean, who fled the country after being charged with the murder of pregnant colleague Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, has been named to John Walsh's Dirty Dozen list.
Paul Eischeid: The ATF and police in Tempe, Arizona have charged outlaw biker Paul Eischeid with an act of savagery in the desert. Now, they need your help to get their hands on him.
Andre Neverson: In July 2002, police say Andre Neverson let a feud with his sister and a bad breakup boil over into a pair of crimes that would make him one of New York's Most Wanted fugitives. Authorities have cast a wide net for Neverson, but the key to finally tracking him down may be an ex-girlfriend, a video camera, and Neverson's closeup.
James Kelly: Michigan authorities are looking for an anesthesiologist who, they say, received child pornography on his computer. Now, they're worried that this man with means could be up to his old tricks but in a whole new city.
Jason Brown: So far, AMW tipsters have caught 16 fugitives on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list. Now, the FBI has added a new member to the notorious group: a former toy salesman accused of robbing an armored car and murdering the driver.
All-Star Week 6: A dedicated, life-saving firefighter from New York has been chosen as the sixth weekly finalist in the 2008 America's Most Wanted All-Star Contest.
