Fighting for Life | The Hunt with John Walsh | Crime Documentary (True Crime) | Reel Truth Crime

Texas, 2002: Herbert Maldonado is charged with the murder of Lori Mejia and narrowly escapes from law enforcement; Missouri, 2002: Bruce Sawhill is charged with child sodomy and runs from the law.
The Hunt is a documentary-style non-fiction program for CNN starring John Walsh, the iconic former host of Americas Most Wanted. The Hunts mission is similar to the original programs: it tells stories of a wide range of criminal investigations in which the suspect (in some cases plainly the perpetrator) is a fugitive at large.

I look forward to the day when TV shows don't feature people saying that murdered prostitutes, like the rest of us, deserve justice. The fact that people _do_ say it is because prostitutes are viewed as somehow less human.

[@netsk1679]

Yes! This annoys me so much!! 😡

[@rickys.7933]

I think These statements are made with the Intent of having others know , that whatever “social status” & or “economic standing” whatsoever , one might hold Amongst our fellow Human Being , that justice & equality Is not deemed less than, for what It would perceive to be for another. Again. Only my respected thought , & opinion On the Matter which you (Nixer Doyle) happened to mention In the above. Love And Light , Always. Dexter M.

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Nixer Doyle - thank you for saying this. 🐿

[@patearl4036]

No one is at fault or to blame for Katie's death but the monster who violated her, He is the reason she is dead. The poor family. They are not to blame.

[@angelagendreau3586]

i totally agree with John Walsh's statements on the wife. She should be charged with a crime as well. She knew it and said nothing. You can't convince me otherwise. If she says otherwise, she's in denial.

[@naomizimik6202]

I 1000% agree!

[@Raztiana]

No need to convince you otherwise, because you are right. She is as guilty as he is. She could have protected Katie, but she didn't. She could just as well have done it herself.

[@raemzz]

This vampire with no teeth has a 84 year old girlfriend 😲🤔 I have officially heard it all.

[@tapsars7911]

What ?!!

[@santbr]

Child molesters and rapists should be immediately sent to life in prison with no possibility of parole, it should be a standard sentence worldwide. These people DO NOT recover and will ALWAYS be a danger to society for the rest of their lives.

[@susanwaldron6831]

Heartbreaking to watch the family blame themselves. The sister, the Mother and the Father didn't fail that little girl but Sawhills' wife failed her. She knew what her husband was she stood by him. She helped raise bond for him and then ran off with him. I dread to think how many more kids he's abused since and she enables him. If they ever get caught she should be charged along side him. She's as guilty as he is. The law failed her too. How does a convicted child molester get bail?

[@CuteDwarf11]

It was just so heartbreaking, and terrible. I was crying when they said that she was dead, and they felt that they failed her, when the truth is that they tried so hard to protect her. Sawhill's wife is a failure, complicit in his crimes, and I pray that both of them will be punished to the fullest.

[@JulieRushworth]

Judges being like minded!

[@ronelllambert2040]

Katie’s dad is so Lovely! Bless him.

[@ladylaois8184]

Abuse is often masked by addiction sadly. Most people that suffer addiction have stuff there trying to block. You can’t protect your kids from these manipulative nasty predators. Don’t blame yourself.

[@catasrophieGrrl]

You're right. The blame lies solely on the abuser and any who enable the abuser.

[@jr7845]

100%, I am a survivor, many years later, I've learned to love me, and to stop punishing my body.

[@Odette321]

Max "I've been taught to respect women"...after he was cheating on her with lots of women.

[@skatelisa]

He is a narcissistic man !

[@Decybello]

he wasn't cheating on her.... he just lived his life... she was thinking (against any kind of a better judgement) that he would want to "be with her"....

[@remmymalone6700]

What I don't get is why didn't family and friend not go to take her , to remove her knowing what was going down , till it was too late

[@aq9714]

Why do they allow bail for a predator? That is a huge mistake!

[@leoo5552]

I love it when the host says Moldonado is going to continue doing this until someone puts a stick trough his heart! Well said, Sir!

[@rebekahweaver2781]

A mole can be removed, teeth can be created. What I don't understand is why you wouldn't show his tattoo's?

[@Danny-mv6fv]

I think they do not have any pictures of them. They would have show them if any pictures were available. The person of interest was and is living a quite remote life. Hardly anybody knows him, he lives under the radar.

[@CB-br1sg]

Was thinking the exact same thing.

[@widow237]

Bless that little girl, and Bless all these people who dedicate their lives to finding these vile creatures.

[@Stefanie3]

What a sad story and it's happening far to often, so many innocent lives destroyed. Including the families! 12 years, a kid 😔

[@naomizimik6202]

Yes...R.I.P Katie!

[@georgianikolidaki8262]

Why don't they charge Maldonado's family with aiding and abetting a criminal? It would be a start and a recognition of their wrongdoing in the whole story.

[@AndrewFreeston-qn7ck]

malford says he's ''a man and human'' The truth is he's neither

[@patearl4036]

As a woman,....I can totally agree with your statement.

[@Kpink452]

Andrew Freeston he’s disgusting

[@Digitalhunny]

Morally & emotionally bankrupt. 😣

[@omarqureshi7621]

John Walsh,you truly honor your son. Thank you x

[@sammybreezy982]

Love John Walsh ....wish the cases get solved......💔

[@NxDoyle]

The first story was bad, but the second was a kick in the head.

[@Lea-cp8gi]

Has he been caught does anyone know??

[@Digitalhunny]

Not yet....

[@donkeyballs3307]

I wouldn't of called the cops ,if it was my daughter ,,& he wouldn't be in prison or on the run ,or on this show

The family shouldnt feel guilty they didnt know the people she hanged out with was that bad she was involved with.💚💚🙏🙏

[@patsyhodge9071]

That woman who loved that child abuser!!!!!!!! Im fckng SPEECHLESS! I hope you're still hunting them down John, you said you would. Poor little girl.

[@StraightouttaBristol]

Herbert the pervert.. Family Guy 🤔

[@janesmith9024]

The last family should not blame themselves. It is the fault of the man who molested her that she was molested. It is not the fault of the family.

[@michele8208]

Love the music

[@sigurdlittle465]

The boyfriend killed her slowly and extinguished her spark. The murderer killed her body and ended her chances of ever getting her life back.

[@Odette321]

And he says he was taught to respect women. What a dirtbag

Lol an 84 year old girlfriend 😂😂😂

His story dad . Least he turned his grief into helping other people .😢

Thanx for these, I find them very interesting.

[@ronelllambert2040]

John Walsh has such a handsome face, so likeable.

John Walsh is handsome?! Where do you live lol...Antarctica?

[@JulieRushworth]

It's his personality, Glad he and his wife survived the atrocities they endured

[@bambi7896]

I hope they'll find him one day. That mole should help.

Lawyer Hatter unfortunately he has probably had the mole removed by now, and bought some teeth too!!!!!

[@monkeytailcorporation1710]

Sir, you did not fail your little girl, as my parents never failed me. We kids make choices, inspite of being warned by every adult possible. I am truly sorry for your loss, but please stop blaming yourself

[@sammybreezy982]

What a charming bloke this man is.

[@brendabradley271]

Bless John Walsh and his family

[@leoo5552]

I'm absolutely not blaming the parents! Everybody please know that's not what I'm saying. But I hope that all you people watching this, please be extremely cautious about who your children are around. Even teenagers, but mainly adults. And not just men, but women, too! Do a background check on every single person around your children! That's the best thing you can do to protect them. And also to teach them about abuse, from an very early age.

[@jamesdick2580]

think Herbert Maldonado's family should be charged for aiding and abetting. and as for Katie...i hope her family realize at some point that they weren't to blame for her death. the fault is with the "friend" and that pathetic excuse for a wife who continually enabled him to victimize children.

Where u grow grass for lawn’s and other properties

[@hazelhadley-britt6396]

"Sod or turf is grass and the part of the soil beneath it held together by its roots or another piece of thin material. In British English, such material is more usually known as turf, and the word "sod" is limited mainly to agricultural senses"
