The FBI has sure been busy the past couple of weeks. They've been catching people on their Most Wanted list left and right. On August 29, Warren Jeffs was captured during a routine traffic stop just outside of Las Vegas. Jeffs was wanted for a multitude of rape charges, all connected with his cult and their polygamy beliefs. Lady luck sure wasn't on his side. A Nevada state trooper stopped a new Escalade for having only the paper license tag from the dealer. Inside the luxury SUV, the trooper found Jeffs sitting in the back seat eating a salad from a fast food joint. Also inside the SUV were over a dozen cell phones, wigs, glasses, and thousands of dollars - everything the pig would need to keep on the run for quite a long time. He'll first be tried in Utah, where his charges could get him a few life sentences.
Two days ago, Phoenix police made an arrest in the Baseline Killer murder case. Mark Goudeau was captured after being linked by DNA to several sexual assault cases. They're still waiting on forensic tests to link him to the eight murders and 23 other crimes tied to the Baseline Killer.
And just yesterday, police captured Ralph "Bucky" Phillips. The cop killer and escapee was caught yesterday in Pennsylvania after a five-month manhunt. Phillips shot and killed one state trooper and seriously injured two other troopers. Phillips proclaimed that he was going to "splatter pig meat all over the county." Phillips has spent 20 of the last 23 years in prison. He escaped from a New York prison in April, and has been on a shooting spree since then. But the Buck was definitely stopped.
On a related note, "America's Most Wanted" featured two fugitives from Kentucky tonight and one from Indiana. Let's get those thugs off the streets.
