Edit: Based on comments from Scumhunter, it needs to be prioritized that there should be a Spanish language AMW-like show.
This has been on my mind for awhile and it presumably will get pushback since we all want Callahan Walsh to continue his father’s legacy. Despite what I am about to say, I still want the Walsh family involved in the publicity of fugitives.
For those who read my underreported/cold case fugitive homicide cases, there is one obvious thing that most of the cases have in common. The suspects and the victims are both of Hispanic ethnicity. When you think about it, this makes sense because most “successful” fugitives as of 2024 flee the United States. The most common destination by far is Mexico. I have gotten to the point where I believe that the majority of fugitive homicide cases in the US involve this community. This has nothing to do with Hispanic’s committing more crimes, it is simply based on the fact that they make better fugitives.
Without going into more detail, there are societal implications to prioritize both the victims and the suspects for different reasons. This is especially an issue that the Walsh’s are not part of this community.
The only way that the majority of fugitive homicide cases can have an opportunity for publicity, is to have a Hispanic host. That is the only way that the Hispanic victims will be given the respect they deserve, and the only way the suspects can properly be profiled. The issue with focusing on these cases on English language media is that a sizeable portion of the US population will not emphasize with this community.
Having a Spanish language show like AMW/In Pursuit or being aired alongside AMW/In Pursuit is the most efficient idea to deal with this issue. We still get the Walsh family profiling cases but there is also a way to focus on the cases in the Hispanic community. There have been news segments and tv shows on Spanish language media in the past that profiled fugitives. To the best of my knowledge however, there has not been a show or segment on Spanish language media in several years that focuses on fugitives.
I know that there has historically been member pushback on profiling a backlog of Hispanic fugitives. I am being logical as to my understanding on why there are so many wanted Hispanic homicide suspects. I am also logical in acknowledging that the actions of these fugitives do not represent the Hispanic community in its entirety.
The reason why I am posting this is really simple, in the past several years we have gone backwards as far as properly publicizing fugitives. I am specifically addressing the actions of local law enforcement, the local media and Crime Stoppers organizations across the US. As I said before, there are societal implications in acknowledging that most fugitive homicide cases involve the Hispanic community. For the record, I am focusing on cases where the warrant for the fugitive has been active for at least one year. I have unfortunately had to assume to role of law enforcement, the media and Crime Stoppers, in primarily trying to get justice for the Hispanic community. I have spent what feels like eight years validating and publicizing longtime fugitive cases. This is mostly what these cases are about.
To conclude my post, I hope that one day someone in the Hispanic community can address these fugitive cases. The Hispanic community is not the problem here but I want them to know that is an issue that is preventing your community from getting justice. If something like this is not done, then most fugitive homicide warrants in the US will be forgotten about by default.
