America's Most Wanted (1988) - FBI's Most Wanted List & Fugitives.

[@HaniJIsmail]

I remember watching this show as a kid and it would be so scary to watch at night. I basically thought all the actor reenactments were the actual criminals! My poor little 8 year old ass would have nightmares

[@ayisyenwa8531]

No fr I thought they’d come and get me because I was watching them so bad stuff 🤣

[@UnofficialAnti-Ignorance]

The re-enactments in the late 80's were real scary for sure. They looked like real crime happening live.

[@HectorGarcia-qq3yj]

No show scared me more than unsolved mysteries, the music and Robert stack voice..

I agree 💯 with you on that

Great Content I remember SATURDAY NIGHTS 7P.M. FOX 32 CHICAGO. 2 HALF HOUR EPISODES OF COPS AND THEN 1 HOUR EPISODE OF AMERICAS MOST WANTED.

[@matthewm.986]

Thanks for uploading! It's frustrating that archival episodes of "America's Most Wanted" aren't being uploaded legally the same way those of "Unsolved Mysteries" were! Especially, now that the show has been rebooted (though I doubt it's been as successful, especially since they only aired four episodes so far)!

[@thehandymancenter]

They don't want them on the air because of the many law suits over their inaccuracy and out right lies. Almost every episode had lots of lies in it. Walsh possibly believed his information was accurate, he was just a foolish mouth piece making money off his dead boy and his failed wife. Weak man.

[@mecrushed1]

[@thehandymancenter]

The reason there are not more episodes of AMW available is because most of those episodes were replete with lies, fabrications and omissions of exculpatory information. Most of the people on those shows were nobodies who could not really afford to defend themselves, but as time went by, more and more of the victims slandered by AMW began to file lawsuits. Even this video is highly misleading, according to the folks involved in the various lawsuits.

The pay phone bandit was my favorite crook ever

[@TasteTestTitan]

😂. Then if you fast forward to about a decade later ripping off pay phones became a thing.. at least in Chicago it did. People were literally tying rope to pay phones and taking them so they could rip off the money.

KZbin used to have the video editor where you could increase the treble (or turn bass down), it was SO helpful for fixing up muffled VHS recordings like this. I appreciate these being posted, but its hard to focus when the sound is so foggy (must've been on SLP mode or a low end VCR).

I love this show still. I heard on the internet that this show is coming back on to tv without John Walsh this year.

something weird about seeing before your time.... even weirder when the time is more modern and not so far away....like the 1940's vs the 80's just so different. i was born in 1998 so it just seems so much closer

[@landofthesilverpath5823]

The opening has an ad for Hill Street Blues which starred the actor who played John Walsh in thr Made for TV film Adam.

[@deebee9917]

[@TheSci-fiAnarchist42]

It's so bizarre seeing Frasier selling cars.

[@thehandymancenter]

Really? It may be a bit bizarre that you would think so, after all, he was just a paid actor who would do or say anything for a buck, just like John Walsh. Anything but a real job.

[@thatgoofball]

I was a child when this show first aired and remember one episode where they showed what appeared to be a picture of the dead body of a girl that was a victim of murder. I think this may be that episode. Will someone confirm if they are actually showing a picture of a dead girl at 25:43? That really freaked me out at the time.

[@TimmyTickle]

Yes, that is an actual post-mortem photo of a dead girl. John Walsh mentioned in one of his books that the show got in trouble with the FCC for showing that photo.

[@DasNordlicht91]

I imagine this show getting a lot of these kinds of complaints over the years, largely due to the crime dramatizations and grisly details.

Fuck that Steve asshole I met him in 83 when I was 5 years old the fucker met my parents then he had a girl in my shower in extreme hot water beating her! I caught the fucker doing it as I pounded on my front door because my parents weren’t home I could hear her screaming and crying sounded like dude Steve was beating her! I’m 45 now and still remember like it was yesterday. This was in Mesa Az. He opened my front door and told me parents no longer lived there and slammed door on my face.

[@TheVHSReviver]

Unfortunately unless someone recorded it like they did with this one they are pretty hard to find. Same with episodes of Cops that I have been trying to track down. Plus it doesn't help that a few different places list the episodes in different orders. I have a few AMW episodes on my channel, but none from 1989.

[@joewarrior7141]

He was in Mexico intending to secure a book deal with a Publisher there (His book was in contrast to this video. The letter he had sent to the FBI was asking the FBI to investigate his wrongful conviction in exchange for a surrender. Neither John Walsh, nor the FBI mentioned that on air. He also disputed the events portrayed in this video and was supported by other individuals who were on site during the events mis-portrayed in the above video. The "nice guy" in the video, and the rest of his police family, wasn't even there. Another member of a police family that had also been having an affair with "the girl" is the one who pulled iron. ). While in Mexico he was kidnapped and held for ransom. There were no takers. First they just sent a letter. Then a finger. Then an ear. And lastly a foot. In the end, according to a confession, his kidnappers chopped him into pieces and put the pieces through a meat grinder and then fed the result to farm animals.
