It has been 10 days since I wrote about John Walsh, host of America's Most Wanted, and his new fugitive status. Last Saturday night, over six million viewers phoned 1-800-crime-tv to reports sightings. The harried operators had to explain that seeing him on the re-run episode that was being aired did not count as "spotting him".
Wendel Pickens, from Atwell, S.C., seems to have had the typical reponse of most callers, "You mean that ain't him? 'Cause I'm seeing him right NOW! I don't know what all the fuss is... DARCY! COME GIT THERON!... what all the fuss is about anyway, I mean if'n he showed up for work and all."
Investigators on the case speculate that Mr. Walsh may be having a hard time of it, "Considering how many dirtbags he has pissed off out here. I mean, where's he going to go? To most of the people on the streets - he's the bad guy. They'd narc him in a second!"
Based upon evidence found in his abandoned Humvee, police have created a sketch of what they believe Mr. Walsh may look like today and have released the following description. "He will be approximately 5"6", with shoulder length red hair. He will be wearing hoop earrings and prefers a deep red lip gloss with blue eye shadow. He'll probably be dressed in a tube top, pedal pushers and platform spiked heels. Oh, and he prefers orange. So his top or something will probably be orange...oh, and jewelery. Lots of jewelery."
Not many of the tips from last Saturday night have been fruitful, but several of the phone calls have investigators excited. They are currently watching footage of the Jerry Springer show based on numerous tips that Mr. Walsh was spotted in the audience, shouting "You GO girl!" and "He's a f***in' LIAR!"
So the manhunt continues. If you spot him, do not approach him, but notify the authorities immediately. He is considered armed and ludicrous.
