‘America'
Fox’s America’s Most Wanted: America Fights Back will reveal the 900th capture resulting from its airing fugitive profiles on the show’s 20th season premiere on Saturday, Sept. 9 (9 p.m. ET/PT).
In November 2004, a jury in Cambridge, Mass., convicted Marlon Morris of repeatedly raping a 13-year-old girl. But Morris wasn’t in the courtroom to hear the verdict. Minutes earlier, during a lunch break, he had slipped out of the courtroom unnoticed and headed out the courthouse door to freedom.
The Massachusetts State Police named Morris to their “Most Wanted” list and turned to America’s Most Wanted for help. After a profile of Morris aired on AMW, a tipster called police with information that the fugitive was hiding in the New Orleans area, working as a construction laborer. Yesterday morning, the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, working in conjunction with the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section, set up surveillance on a location just outside New Orleans. They moved in as Morris walked out to a car, and took him into custody without incident.
