MOST DANGEROUS ‘MOST WANTED’ CRIMINALS WHO GOT CAUGHT

ARCHIE BYRD III fled from Athens, Georgia, when he was the prime suspect for aggravated assault and the sex trafficking of a juvenile girl. Considered armed and dangerous, he escaped the clutches of the police for decades until he was arrested for an unrelated crime. In DeKalb County, Byrd was suddenly stopped by police for jaywalking. He gave the police a fake ID and was charged with providing them with false information. After the arresting officer discovered his true identity, he saw that Byrd was wanted in Georgia. Byrd is one of the 1200 featured on America’s Most Wanted to be finally captured.

VINCENT WALTERS was one of the U.S. Marshal Service’s most wanted fugitives. Walters was a drug dealer in San Diego, California. When a meth deal went bad, he kidnapped three people, including a woman, with the plan to return them in exchange for his drugs. Two of the hostages were released except for the woman, who, while gagged with a chemical-soaked rag, had died. Walter’s brother was caught and convicted, but Walters had fled. When he was featured on America’s Most Wanted, witnesses recognized him as a worker  in Cancun, Mexico. He was selling resort timeshares at an international airport. Although working under a fake name, he often boasted about how he was a most-wanted fugitive. After 24 years on the run, Walters was extradited back to the United States to face charges for his long list of crimes.

Wanted for kidnapping, rape and sexual assault, Ricky Allen Bright went quietly when the Violent Crimes Task Force in Memphis, Tennessee, finally tracked down one of the FBI’s most wanted criminals. After Bright was featured on an episode of America’s Most Wanted, the show received a flood of calls from people who claimed to have seen him. One such call came from a person who said they saw him playing drums in a rock band. When the Task Force followed up on the tip, they discovered Bright playing a gig at a hotel under a false identity. He didn’t put up a fight when the Task Force approached him and made no attempts to hide his identity, saying “I’m the one you’re looking for.
