America’s Most Wanted interviews student about teacher/fugitive
Last week, the host of America’s Most Wanted, John Walsh, was in Belize filming an episode which showcases the capture of convicted child molester Robert Snyder. Snyder failed to register as a sex offender and went into hiding when he was released from prison and then surfaced in Belize. Snyder is described as a cunning man who groomed his victims while he taught them Chess. While in Belize, Snyder started to tutor at four primary schools. During the airing of the most wanted show, a primary school student recognized the fugitive as someone who was at her school. Since his capture, Snyder has been held on a three million dollar bail. The America’s Most Wanted website has posted the pictures of Sheena Stuart and her daughter, Cree, whose tip resulted in the capture of Snyder. While in Belize the AMW host travelled to San Pedro where he met Rob Kelty, the Regional Security Officer of the U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service. That episode of America’s Most Wanted will be aired on February twenty seventh, right here on Channel Five.
How ironic that we can catch ‘America’s Most Wanted’ here in Belize and we can’t even catch ‘OUR OWN’ most wanted. I guess it has something to do with the reward that normally comes with a foreigner’s capture. Or that’s just it…he’s a foreigner so there is no chance that he can do any harm to the informer and family. Belize has its own local criminals we don’t need any IMPORTED ones. Not all that is “IMPORTED” is good.
Sad state we’re in when we have to live like a prisoner in our own homes because it’s not safe to go out. You go out the burglars get in…while you’re out grenades are being hurled and not to mention the stray bullets. (Afghanistan we got going on here) I long to see the day when our Ministry of National Security actually lives up to its title and not just be parading in the media to save face.
