Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe show's most spectacular success was the case of John List, who had murdered his entire family almost 20 years earlier. Thanks to an amazingly accurate forensic sculpture to account for his age since his last known photograph, List was captured on June 1, 1989, less than a week after the broadcast. He had adopted the pseudonym Robert Clark, and lived in Denver, Colorado and Midlothian, Virginia. On April 12, 1990, a New Jersey court convicted him of five counts of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to five life terms in prison. List died March 21, 2008, in a Trenton, New Jersey prison from complications of pneumonia. He was 82.

Featured review
"AMERICA'S MOST WANTED," in my opinion, is a good news magazine show which has helped capture many dangerous criminals. I enjoy seeing John Walsh as the host. There are many reasons why I said that. Also, I had no idea that John Walsh lost his own son to violence until maybe a few years ago. If you ask me, it seems that many criminals seem to get set free on technicalities due to a lack of evidence or some other hole in a case. Still, I enjoy hearing about dangerous fugitives getting what they deserve. The only thing I don't like hearing about are when someone has been murdered or gone missing. Now, in conclusion, I hope this show never ends.
