Ismael Mendes Ordones is one of the North Carolina Department of Public Safety's Most Wanted websites. According to a viewer who's watched the show since the beginning and sent us a master list of fugitives, he was aired on the show, although we do not know when. Below is the NC DPS description of the case:
"Suspect is considered armed and dangerous.
On Sunday, May 19, 1996, Ismael Mendes Ordones shot and killed Lauren Clifton Denny at her home on Poplar Drive near Candor. Ms. Denny died from multiple gunshot wounds to the side and back.
Ordones also shot and seriously injured Beni Cruz Salazar. The suspect is known by the nicknames Loco, Half Kilo, and Pukie Boy. He has also used the birthdate 12-18-1980."
Thoughts? Unfortunately, I can't find anything about a motive. Usually shootings like this are the result of a domestic dispute, however, I don't want to assume or speculate.

UPDATE: There is no longer an online wanted listing on the North Carolina DPS website for Ordones. However, as far as I can tell, he is still at large as of this update (7/23/2018), since I haven't found anything online suggesting otherwise. Of course, if anyone has any updates/proof-of-updates one way or the other, they are always more than welcome to let us know.
