Fugitive Fridays: Help Patch Find Bad Guys

Each week, Patch will run a report about a county fugitive. Let Crime Solvers know if you have any information about the criminals mentioned here. They're counting on you!

Most of us have heard of America’s Most Wanted, the TV show dedicated to rooting out the nation’s most vicious criminals on the lam.

The show, which recently came to an end, was created and hosted by John Walsh, whose son Adam was kidnapped and killed when he was a child.

The FBI also has a top 10 most wanted list.

And if you ever read a local police blotter, you are probably aware of Crime Solvers, a national law enforcement program that offers cash rewards to people with tips that help them close cases.

Prince George’s County has its own Crime Solvers program, complete with a “most wanted” list of criminals associated with local cases.  It is a nonprofit organization begun in 1979 that is governed by a volunteer board of business and community members who raise reward money, attend community functions and work with local law enforcement.

Each week, Patch will highlight one of these fugitives, hoping that the information provided will help lead to the capture of some of the county’s biggest bad guys.

If you do have information about one of the fugitives we mention, please call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477) or send a text of "PGPD" plus your message to "CRIMES” (274637).
