February 25th, 1998. John Walsh is on Geraldo Rivera’s namesake talk show with details on a case involving robbery and gruesome murder in Las Vegas, before the suspect went to hide at a nudist colony.
“Of all the fugitives that we’ve profiled this is the one that had nothing to hide…”
The details of Bruce Weinstein’s murder are discussed, including ther prime suspect’s decision to live life without clothing afterwards during a futile attempt to stay anonymous. Viewers are reminded of the circumstances involving the loss of John Walsh’s six year old son and his beginnings with America’s Most wanted. More cases are discussed towards the end of this segment, including the best advice for children in danger: holler at the top of their lungs.
Amy DeChant was apprehended in January of 1998, and sentenced to two consecutive life sentences in December 1998, although this was later overturned.
