Hello fugitivesearch and once again welcome to the forum!
I would agree that because the U.S. is such a diverse country, no matter what ethnicity a fugitive is, there are likely to be suburbs cities etc. with a large population of that ethnicity- be it Indian, Asian, Hispanic etc.... and it would be easy to blend in to those communities. I think one example is an AMW fugitive named Happy Pham, who took 10 years to capture hiding in plain sight in an Asian community in Houston- the same exact community he was wanted out of.
And as far as Patel is concerned, of course there are many places across the U.S. with large Indian populations where he can blend in. There are a few Indian neighborhoods in the NYC metro area where he was last seen, specifically Queens, New York, where I could see him blending in easily.

Just wanted to add hopefully the increased publicity will lead to his capture because I agree it would have been easy for him to blend in had there not been increased heat on him. this is a case that definitely needs more attention and as many eyeballs as possible.

Just wanted to stress in light of recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia that with Patel's case airing tonight, he needs to be caught for allegedly brutally murdering his wife- not because of his religion or race or anything of the sort.
Obviously those on this forum are mature enough, but just a general message for the public who may come across this site after viewing The Hunt tonight.
Edit: Obviously the same should be said for Berny Figueroa as well since she will be on the same episode, but I feel Patel will be the one with the most ignorant comments coming.

I'm interested to see if airing his case on The Hunt does anything, but sadly I still believe that he is not in the U.S.

While that doesn't mean he didn't flee the country somehow anyway, it does give some hope. Even abroad, I'd like to be optimistic that tips can still help catch him. |

Plus Walter Gomez was captured this weekend (a fugitive added nearly the same time as Patel) and what gives me hope is he's still young and a recent fugitive. |

My overall thoughts on the Patel segment.
It was great how the production team traveled all the way to India to interview Palaks family and that's what I like about this show, is seeing the victims take on their loved ones Case.
The fact that Palak was abused by Bhadreshkumar prior to her murder reveals Palak's final few months weren't very pleasant because of Bhadreshkumar.

One new detail revealed that shows just how cold-blooded Bhadreshkumar Patel was is that he is seen on camera turning off the microwave before leaving the scene. For him to not panic and flee, but just calmly remember to do a routine thing like that before finally leaving a murder scene- as John Walsh stated- is the signs of a cold-blooded sociopath.
What gives some concern for me is they actually said Bhadresh worked at a Passport office in India- and he came to the United States only on a Visa and was illegally working anyway- which does mean he might have some knowledge of how to get around the system to flee the country.
They mentioned his last known whereabouts was Newark-Penn Station which is a major transportation hub in New Jersey. I've actually rode the train past there on New Jersey Transit to visit friends and family so I know it's a major transportation hub mainly for trains and buses. (I believe you can get Amtrak there as well).
As far as the fleeing or country or not, even John Walsh himself seems convinced Patel is still in the U.S., and the Hunt's profile summary says he may be laying low in an Indiana community anywhere in the U.S.
The FBI agent interviewed on the show did not think family was helping him hide.

Well the fact that he's the second person on the top ten involved with passports concerns me, yet the additional details you just mentioned Scumhunter also paint a clear picture of who he is.

The fact that Patel wound up at Newark Penn Station has me thinking perhaps he wound up in Canada as opposed to India or still in the states. I googled and there are trains/buses from Newark to Toronto/Montreal at least. Obviously the passport is the issue but I think Patel would have an easier time sneaking through somewhere via train or bus rides as opposed to plane rides.

There are areas on the Canadian border where it's just woods and not guarded by anyone or anything, so he could be living illegally in Canada. |

Canada has a much tougher border process than Mexico but nothing is ever 100 percent secure. So I agree it's entirely possible.

Haven't really followed who was harsher than who but back in 70's/80's Canada seemed like the top destination for fugitives bit was taken over by Mexico ever since. Part of that might also have something to do with Mexico's reputation for lawlessness/corrupt police (please note I said reputation, some parts may or may not live up to the rep), but a somewhat easier way of getting around seems to be a popular reason as well. |

Another thing I wanted to bring up (on a roll I guess) that could support Patel still being in the states- it seems the possible alleged motive was him and Palak's constant arguments about how she wanted to go back to India. He wanted to stay in the states obviously, even if it meant the overnight shift at a donut shop. Palak didn't feel the same way.
So Bhadresh gets mad over that and then winds up back in India anyway?
Of course when you're on the run you might not necessarily get to choose where you hide and could sacrifice by going to your home country even if you'd rather not so you won't get caught but still something to think about it.
