SYNOPSIS: Here is a thrilling look at the award-winning television program that is changing the face of broadcasting and criminal investigation, Fox Broadcasting Company's "America's Most Wanted." From the legwork to the studio, this is how television catches crooks. BEHIND THE SCENES: An insider's look at the television phenomenon that has helped catch scores of fugitives who have eluded U.S. authorities. THE BRAINSTORM: How the show got off the ground: the idea, the staff, the fugitives, and the cooperation of the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Customs Service, among many law enforcement agencies. THE AWARDS AND THE CRITICS: From honors from the U.S. Department of Justice to criticism from the press--the high praise and low shots at the show. THE MOST AMAZING CAPTURES: The fifteen-second promo that nabs an accused murderer; the father who murders his family and goes on the run for eighteen years with a whole new identity; the FBI top ten fugitive who once posed for a photo with Mayor Ed Koch while running a shelter for the homeless; inmates who turn in their own; cop killers who surrender to cops--and many more. HOW A TYPICAL SHOW WORKS: From the key people to the incredible pinches, why this show is more than just catching crooks--it's also bringing forth witnesses, clues, and helping victims. PLUS--Fascinating interviews with the hardened criminals that AMERICA'S MOST WANTED has caught…and much more! -and-"Remember, You Can Make A Difference" For months before he ever heard of "America's Most Wanted, " child advocate John Walsh carried a flier from the National Center for Missing and exploited Children. It was a morgue photograph for an unidentified girl found shot dead in Banning, California, on May 1, 1987. He hoped that in his travels, he might find some sheriff, some social worker, or even a desperate parent who might help bring the girl's body home. Little did Walsh realize that as host of "America's Most Wanted" he would do more than that. In ten seconds, he would help catch the girl's alleged killer, James Charles Stark.
