Jose Manuel "Porky, Gordo" Torres-Miranda was ranked 13th on my Most Wanted Fugitives of 2011. His profile on AMW was groanworthy and irritating with its lack of details on the crime scene, and of course, lack of clues to finding Torres-Miranda. Except for a rare occasion, I never know when a fugitive will ever get caught.

His profile on AMW was groanworthy and irritating with its lack of details on the crime scene, and of course, lack of clues to finding Torres-Miranda. Except for a rare occasion, I never know when a fugitive will ever get caught. The re-enactment was in the back of my mind. I wanted to take the high road here but since you mentioned it, I agree I was a bit disappointed. Miranda's profile was during the last year on Fox with segments such as Woodlawn Jane Doe that we thought were terribly produced (and sort of off-topic and I know I say this a lot but this is also why the Lifetime cancellation saddened me even more than the 2011 Fox cancellation. The show was getting worse on Fox with the re-enactments and too few fugitives per episode, and although the production quality wasn't as big budget the only cringe-worthy segment on Lifetime imo was the Princess Jane Doe profile. I was finally enjoying the show again when they cancelled it). While it certainly should have been stressed how beloved Hanley was, I agree that I wish there was more detail on clues to help catch Miranda since the overall goal was to catch him in order to provide justice in the first place. At the end of the day, what matters is catching Miranda and not the quality of the re-enactment. |

If investigators are working with officials in Mexico to locate Miranda, then he's probably there. However, it was mentioned on his archived amw.com page that Theresa claimed to have seen a man who was smiling at a wanted poster about Miranda, the man said he was a friend but didn't say when he had seen him last, so who knows. It's also believed that Miranda is not the fugitive's real name.

I remember on September 11th one of the security guards at my college was smiling at the tv screen set up outside as we all watched the events unfold on campus, but it was obviously a smile of disbelief, and he wasn't happy at what he was seeing. (Obviously I have some vivid memories of what my day was like) Perhaps the man was smiling because he couldn't believe he knew the guy, but you never know. |

Unfortunately Miranda still listed as having a warrant on same link as previous reply as of August 11th, 2019 so I'm making him our fugitive of the week for the week of August 11th-17th, 2019.
Also so we don't look like jerks regarding comments made six years ago when I first started this forum in my late 20's- the reason some AMW fans were disappointed with the re-enactment of the case was not out of disrespect to Charles Hanley, but rather the entire segment was basically friends and family talking about how much they loved him and there wasn't much on the case itself and/or clues to find Miranda to get justice for the same people that loved him so much.
In retrospect though we can see from John Walsh's post-AMW shows that AMW had very little time to tell the full story in their segments. The Hunt and In Pursuit are longer-length segments, thus able to fit in both how beloved the victim was and talk about the overall case and manhunt details itself. For this reason, I hope the powers that be consider doing a segment on Jose Miranda on Season 2 of In Pursuit to make up for what some of us felt was a lack of clues told to the public in the original AMW airing.

Since Jose Miranda is our case of the week, I do agree that In Pursuit would more efficiently cover both Charles Hanley’s life and the manhunt for Miranda. It would help also considering North Carolina isn’t one of the best states for up-to-date fugitive info/warrant confirmation. |
