Ludin Mejia-Ramirez, wanted for rape, was on AMW's old website, I'm assuming as a web-exclusive (but please correct me if he was actually aired on the show). Below is the partial archived description I was able to retrieve:
"U.S. Marshals from the Capitol Area Fugitive Task Force have launched the hunt for a Silver Spring, Maryland man who is accused of raping a 12 year old girl. Authorities say Ludin Mejia-Ramirez sexually assaulted a neighborhood child in his basement on Aug 27th, 2007. According to police, Mejia-Ramirez and his stepson were working on his stepson's bicycle in front of their residence when the young girl approached. Cops say the victim offered to help Mejia-Ramirez gather some tools which littered the front yard. With tools in hand police say Mejia-Ramirez led the young girl into his basement. As the girl deposited the tools in her arms Mejia-Ramirez closed and locked the basement door. Cops say that's when Mejia-Ramirez forced himself on the little girl despite her pleas for him to stop. Once the rape was over Mejia-Ramirez released his victim.
The young girl ran home and reported the attack to her family. She was rushed to an area hospital where officials confirmed the assault. Once investigators got a search warrant for the premises cops wasted no time in examining the single family home from top to bottom. As Mejia-Ramirez's common law wife stood by police searched the house they shared going over every inch of the basement for evidence. Police say investigators were able to obtain the information they needed. But by the time officials returned to arrest Mejia-Ramirez he had fled. Cops say he not only fled the scene of the crime Mejia-Ramirez abandoned his pregnant wife who has since had their baby as well as his stepson. Mejia-Ramirez also left behind a stack of overdue bills, Police believe Mejia-Ramirez who is a naturalized U.S citizen is on the run with his brother William and say the two men may have returned to their native Guatemala."
Thoughts? Unfortunately the full archive no longer works so I have no idea if there's a picture of William to work with and if there was it's now lost. I confirmed through Maryland criminal court case search this is still an active case.
