Fiddle Player Pleads Guilty And Flees
Arizona authorities are trying to track down John Evans, who they say molested five young girls back in 1996. Evans pleaded guilty to all the charges but fled before his sentencing.
According to police, Evans molested five young girls in the house he shared with a girlfriend.
Evans is an avid fiddle player, and some of the victims were at the house for music lessons when police say he sexually abused them.
Evans has spent some time in Mexico playing in a band, and authorities say he has friends and family in Utah, Washington, Montana and Maryland.
Thoughts? The above was from the AMW archives. Evans was aired on the December 3rd, 2005 and March 25th, 2006 episodes of America's Most Wanted. Although Evans would be around his mid-80's today, just like with the Prakashanand Saraswati case, it doesn't mean he should get away with what he did and still deserves to spend the rest of his miserable life in jail if caught.

UPDATE: Although getting up there in age, as far as I can tell, Evans is still technically at large as of this update (7/24/2018), 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.
