Ann Black was wanted for murdering her husband in California in 1980, dumping
his stripped body in a ditch, and fleeing for parts unknown. When the technology
became available, we posted her photo on this website. She was recognized in 2002...
reported by an alert citizen... and arrested in Ankeny, Iowa, 22 years later. Richard
Lampron was wanted in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, for aggravated rape and
kidnapping in the late 1990s. We put his face on this website too. When he walked
into Café Metro in Scranton, Pennsylvania, an employee recognized him...and
reported him. Lampron was arrested in 2002 and shipped back to Massachusetts for
trial. Robert
Leroy Keiter was wanted for a check kiting scheme that cost banks in Alabama some
$10 million. You know we put his face on our fugitive pages too. An alert resident
of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, recognized and reported him. He was arrested
by the FBI and Morgan County Sheriff's Office just a couple months ago on November
2, 2003. The
power of the web. These are just three of many cases that have succeeded
in getting dangerous people off our streets and bringing closure to victims and
their families. That's why we've dedicated an entire section
of our website to this worthy cause. If you haven't looked at it recently, we
feature: We
also feature: What's
new on the site today? Our new slate of Monthly
Fugitives. We put up some 20 new cases each month... and they stay up for
some 6 months, just in case some one of you out there might recognize a face and
report your information -- possibly with a reward attached -- to your local
FBI Field Office... or your local police... or -- if you're overseas -- the
closest U.S. embassy or consulate.
And, just for the record, the men
and women of the FBI thank you for your help.
