CAPTURED — June 6, 2018 

King County Sheriff’s detectives say 40-year old Stephen Pierce is being extradited back to Washington state after was arrested by the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado Springs, CO.  Pierce is charged with Assault in the First Degree after deputies say he stabbed a stranger in the abdomen at bus stop in SeaTac last September when the victim declined to give him a cigarette.

The case had remained unsolved for several months after the attack until deputies got a Crime Stoppers tip from a Washington’s Most Wanted viewer in West Virginia who saw the video posted on our Facebook page.  “They knew who the suspect was. They named him off as Stephen Pierce.  They said that he was hiding out in the area and the provided good enough information that the detective was actually able to follow up with the tipster from Crime Stoppers.  The detective showed a photograph montage to the victim and a witness and both were able to pick him out. Once we determined he was our suspect, he then fled to Colorado.  The El Paso Sheriff’s Office. They did an excellent job for us. They ended up finding Stephen Pierce. They took him into custody without incident.  He had the backpack and the jacket that he wore the same day of the stabbing.”

Pierce has waived extradition and is on his way back to Washington state.   “The detective told me that if it wasn’t for Washington’s Most Wanted, for Crime Stoppers getting his picture out there that we probably would have never arrested this guy or figured out who he was so thanks to the show and thanks to this tip that came in we were able to arrest this guy and it meant a lot to the victim and it’s an excellent story,” said Sgt. Abbott.

Pierce is Washington’s Most Wanted Capture #995 thanks to tips from our viewers.

WANTED IN KING COUNTY —
Take a look the man wanted in SeaTac after police say he stabbed an innocent victim who was waiting at the bus stop, minding his own business with his girlfriend.

It happened at the bus shelter at 200th and International Blvd. on September 7th at about 10pm.

He wore a red shirt, Mariners hat and backpack as he rode a bus in SeaTac. “We have some pretty decent video of our suspect as he was riding a bus before he got off on that stop. We just haven’t been able to identify him,” said King County Sgt. Cindi West.

When it was time to get off at his stop, you can hear him talk to the driver as he exits the bus, "Alright, I am gonna go To the Light Rail. Take care of yourself brother. Stay safe." “A male subject who had gotten off a bus previously approached the victim and asked him for a cigarette. The victim said he didn't have one and so our suspect walked away. A few minutes later, the suspect came back, approached our victim and the victim said suddenly he felt a large sharp pain in his abdomen and then the suspect walked away. When our victim looked at his stomach, he saw that he had a large stab wound in the stomach. In fact, it was so extreme that his intestines were exposed. Aid was called, he was transported to Harborview and fortunately he survived. This is just a bizarre situation. Our victim does not know the suspect. Other than the fact that the suspect asked for a cigarette. There was no other conversation between the two. The suspect just merely decided to stab him. If he randomly stabbed someone over what appears to be a cigarette. What else is he capable of.  We definitely want get this guy off the street before he hurts somebody else,” said Sgt. West.

If you know who this guy is, where he lives or have any information that can help detectives track him down, Crime Stoppers will pay you a cash reward of up to $1,000. Call the hot line at 1-800-222-TIPS, or use the P3 Tips App to submit your information.

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- Police say thieves operating a scam are taking advantage of Chinese immigrants in Western Washington, especially in Bellevue.

The thieves are claiming to be from China's Embassy in San Francisco and they're getting away with a lot of money.

Bellevue police officer Seth Tyler said, "The victim receives a call from someone claiming to be from the Chinese Embassy and that person tells them they're in some legal trouble in China, that they can clear their name by wire transferring money to the Bank of Hong Kong in China."

Tyler says they've gotten at least nine complaints about this scam and in two cases, peopled wired large amounts of money overseas -- in one case, it was at least $200,000.

Authorities say there could be more victims and their best advice is if you get a call like this, just hang up.

Because these scammers are targeting Chinese immigrants, we have the police video in Mandarin, too, below.

Bainbridge Island Police say thanks to a Washington’s Most Wanted viewer — detectives have identfied a prolific check fraud suspect as Ariana Miller.

“We got a call from a tipster who gave us some information on who it was and we ran with that to postively identify our subject as Ariana Miller,” said Bainbridge Island Police Det. Erik Peffer. “When we ran her in our local system and in our statewide system we found that she had criminal history in numerous counties across Washington and numerous cities, even as far south as Portland, Oregon. With Ariana, she’s kind of a drifter and is a couch surfer, spends time just with random people up and down the coast of Washington, so she’s been as far south as, again, Portland, with numerous people. The last known location that we had of her was in Mason County, she had a boyfriend that was out there and they’re no longer together so we really don’t where she’s at, she spends a lot of time in casinos. I’d really like to get her, just because of her criminal history and all the stuff that she’s done the last couple of years all across Washington, it would be great to stop her.”

If you know where she’s hiding, use the P3 Tips App to submit your information to Crime Stoppers or call the hot line at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

It’s anonymous and you’ll get a cash reward if your tip helps lead to her arrest.

FUGITIVE WANTED IN BAINBRIDGE ISLAND April 20, 2018 --
Dinner with friends -- and a fraudster!

Bainbridge Island Police need to know the name of the woman above who’s seen on a restaurant surveillance enjoying a meal on someone else's dime.

It was at the Westport Winery near Aberdeen -- one of many businesses and services across Western Washington where detectives say she used checks stolen from a Bainbridge Island woman's mailbox.

"This case goes for almost six weeks, so starting in February, it goes all the way to mid-March,” said Bainbridge Island Police Det. Erik Peffer. “She doesn't fit the typical profile for someone that breaks into mailboxes and then uses checks. She's using these checks to buy groceries, or to purchase food at restaurants as we saw in one of the videos, to take people out. I really want to get her, because six weeks is a long time and in my opinion, very brazen just to be writing known stolen checks all across Washington, without even being worried about getting caught and whoever it is, is obviously very comfortable at this point."Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.The map above shows the span of her crime spree: She started in Silverdale, made her way west to Grays Harbor County, then came back to Kitsap county, writing the last two checks in Poulsbo and Bremerton.

Her route makes detectives think she's probably from the Kitsap County area and may have been on vacation.

Detectives have another possible person they'd like to talk to, as well. "There were also three checks written on the 3rd of February to somebody by the name of William Allen. That's definitely a person of interest for us, because we don't know who this William Allen is, but there are notes on the check that it's for labor and invoices to Lowe's. Now, I've checked with different Lowe's and they don't know who William Allen is, but it's very possible that he's a subcontractor for some kind of work, so if anyone knows a subcontractor for Lowe's, by the name of William Allen, that would be great if we could get that information,” said Det. Peffer.

So, if the name William Allen rings a bell, or if you know who this check fraud suspect is, use the P3 Tips App to submit your information to Crime Stoppers or call the hot line at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

It's anonymous and you'll get a cash reward if your tip helps lead to her arrest.

Deja vu at Puetz Golf in Tacoma: A week after we featured a so-called ‘Ninja Burglar’ busting in through the store’s roof to steal expensive clubs — the business is reeling from a second stealth-like suspect striking the exact same way — dropping in through the roof, possibly a copycat who Tacoma Police hope you can help identify.

“We’ve been talking about a Ninja-type guy. It’s the same kind of MO, method of operation, he drops down you see him jump on floor. He immediately runs over to an area where the high-end clubs are. He takes a bag and he takes the three sets of irons, puts them in that bag, then he takes the bag and goes back to the area he dropped into, he hands it up and it very well could be he has help on this, we don’t know, you don’t see anybody else, but that’s a pretty heavy bag, so he puts it up and the next thing you’re going to see him, he boosts himself on the shelf and on the way up you’ll see him knocking down three or four bags and then he disappears out of sight,” said Ret. Det. Myrle Carner with Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound. “We don’t think it’s the same guy, but we think it’s somebody who was told about it, maybe they saw it on our show. This guy needs to be caught, because the loss on this alone is in the thousands and thousands of dollars.”

Puetz says its Tacoma store is ninja-proof now: They've added new security to the places the burglars have been busting-in -- so listen up any copycat wannabes – don’t try it.

If you know anything that can help identify these ‘Ninja Burglars,’ call the hotline anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477), or use the P3 Tips App to submit your information.

It could happen to any of us: We get distracted and drop or lose our wallet somehow. It happened to me last month, but fortunately a Good Samaritan returned it to the lost and found.

That’s what should have happened in this case that Auburn Police need your help to solve. Detectives say this couple with the child went on a shopping spree with a woman’s credit card while the victim who’d lost her wallet was still in the same mall.

“I might have had my wallet here on my lap and when I got out I think it maybe just fell out and then I didn`t notice and someone picked it up and started spending on all my cards, said victim, Keonna Rainwater. She was looking forward to a nice evening shopping with her little niece at The Outlet Collection in Auburn late last month. Then, she started getting alerts on her phone that her credit card was being used at numerous stores at that same mall. She raced to the last one on the list. “I went up to the manager and said, `Did you just have a large purchase?` They said, `Yes. The people just left. Let me pull up their picture off the security camera,` so they printed that out and then we were trying to find them in the mall.”

Auburn Police confirm the two people in the still photos are suspects and all told, the couple charged $2,500 at five or six stores.

Keonna posted the surveillance images on Facebook and got some potential leads, but police need more help. “We`re looking to identify them. We have some names to go on, we`re looking for as much information as possible, because we need to talk to them,” said Auburn Police Cmdr. Mark Caillier.

He cautions people about posting surveillance photos and images on Facebook before police can investigate. “The bad part is if you`re putting it up there and it`s not the right people, names will start getting thrown out on social media and you just have to be careful that you`re not mis-identifying somebody and accusing them of doing something, of which, if it turns out not to be those persons."

Police say there is no question about whether they are the ones who used the card, but if they were the ones who found they wallet, they should have turned it in to a business or police. It's not ‘finders keepers’, it's fraud to use the cards.

“What was going to be just a fun day with my niece turned into kind of a stressful day, trying to cancel all my credit cards at once, looking for the people who were doing this to me and kind of ruined our day,” said Rainwater.

She doesn't have any ill-will towards them, but is hoping they find redemption for the sake of their child. “It makes me feel bad for the little girl, even though I`m sure she had no idea what was going on, but it looks like they purchased a whole bunch of things for their daughter, so I know they care about their daughter, but hopefully by the time she gets to an age where she does realize things going on, they can just stop this kind of lifestyle, because it hurts people, it hurts families and it will end up hurting that little girl too."

If you have any information that will help Auburn Police locate the suspects, submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers by using the P3 Tips App on your phone, or you can call 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

There is a  cash reward of up to $1,000 for any information that leads to an arrest in the case.

FUGITIVE WANTED IN RENTON February 7, 2018 -- 
Renton Police are asking for the public's help to find the suspect accused of shooting a 38-year-old man multiple times outside the William’s Avenue Pub at about 1:15 a.m. Sunday.

Detectives are searching for 29-year-old Steven Edward Shannon Jr.

Detectives say the preliminary investigation revealed the victim and lone suspect were arguing just before the shooting.

"We don’t know what tipped this man off, got him angry but apparently it was a minor argument,” said Renton Police Commander Dave Leibman.

Surveillance video shows Shannon following the victim out of the pub and then around the corner just south of the bar. Officers responded to calls of shots fired and found the victim in the parking lot.

Medics took the victim to Harborview Medical Center where he remains in critical condition. Detectives say the video helped them identify Shannon as the suspect.

“He has done violent assaults before. He has a fairly extensive criminal history. In this case, he shot a man in cold blood on the street and left him to die. This is a person who is very likely to do something similar again,” Leibman said.

KILLERS WANTED IN SEATTLE —
Frustration and an emotional plea for help from the family of a Seattle man shot to death last year.

Latrel Williams’ mother and Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound are offering a $4,000 reward for information that helps catch his killers.

She walked us through the alley where he was murdered, determined not to let his case go unsolved.

“This is where my baby was shot, right here.” It’s been more than a year since Lynda Wolff lost her only son. “Mother`s Day passed and wondered, am I still a mother? My son`s not here anymore, after 35 years.”

On April 11th, 2017, Latrel was killed by his car in the parking lot behind the building where he lived in the 8300 block of Rainier Avenue S. “I know it was a dark, rainy night, but you hear the shots, multiple gunshots, I`m sure someone, there`s people who looked out their window and saw something,” said Wolff.

Seattle Police homicide detectives believe Latrel was an innocent victim. “Suspects, three of them, were seen running from the scene. Very dark clothing, possible hoodies, a dark minivan was also seen accelerating from the area,” said Ret. Det. Myrle Carner with Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound.

No arrest has been made in the case, so lynda is offering a $4,000 reward to anyone who can help police identify her son's killers. "Someone had to have targeted him, maybe from back here against this fence is as far as you can go. They had to come in and out the same way, so I just don`t understand why the case hasn`t been solved," said Wolff.

Lynda believes the killers didn't know the kind of man Latrel was, a devoted father to his son, an entrepreneur who had just started a new company to hire low income people in his community.

Tory Jones is Latrel's younger brother. He finds it hard to believe the shooting was random. "Honestly, it`s tough. It`s tough. I mean obviously it was like a homicide, an execution, I mean, but you don`t know what the reason was, you don`t know if they`re after more members of the family, you don`t know if it`s over with," said Jones.

Latrel was the peaceful one, known for his kindness and commitment to his community, his death has left a hole in his family and his son's life, "I just think about my grandson, that his dad`s not there to see any milestones, or hear anything that he has to share, or being that he`s going to be a man, himself, that his father is not there for reasons unknown. It`s just emotionally it`s been really hard on me," said Wolff.

As Lynda surveys the alley where her son was murdered, she wants justice for Latrel, but also to spare others from suffering like she has. "We`re all one. We`re all human. We all breath the same way. We all have children. We all have families, so please, please help out."

If you have any information that can help Seattle Police identify the three suspects or their dark minivan, or know anything at all that can help solve Latrel's senseless murder, call crime stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477), or you can use the P3 Tips App on your phone and collect that $4,000 reward when detectives solve the case.

EVERETT, Wash. -- Snohomish County sheriff’s detectives are asking for the public’s help to find 52-year-old sex offender Kevin Patrick Hanrahan -- and they have an unusual request ahead of an upcoming murder trial in August.

Hanrahan has a Department of Corrections warrant out for his arrest. Detectives say he is a material witness in the murder of 20-year-old Phillipa Evans-Lopez. She was found in her Lake Stevens home in 2013 tied to her bed with electrical cord and stabbed multiple times.

“We’ve been in contact with Hanrahan before. The challenge is that he has a DOC Escape warrant so he has been unwilling to come in and speak to police,” said Shari Ireton with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

“What we’re looking for is someone who has the exact same make and model of this knife, so that we could borrow it for forensics tests. It is made by a local company. We did contact them. They, unfortunately, did not have any in stock.

"We’ve searched high and low to be able to find one that we could borrow and just haven’t been able to come up with one, so we’re hoping someone in the public has a knife like this one in their possession and they’d be willing to work with detectives to let us borrow it. Anybody who has one, we ask them to call our anonymous tip line at (425) 388-3845,” said Ireton.

SEATTLE — Detectives in the Seattle Police Robbery Unit are asking for the public’s help to solve a takeover style armed robbery on Mother’s Day.  The thieves got away with $10,000 in cash because it was the busiest day of the year.  Police say suspects robbed the Palisade Restaurant at 2601 W. Marina Place in Magnolia on May 13th. The call for help came into 911 at about 11:36 pm.

Detectives say a manager told them he was inside a coat room when he was accosted by a masked suspect who pointed a silver semi-automatic pistol at him, then demanded money from the safe. The victim said the suspect repeatedly told him, ‘Don’ play with me.” The manager said he went to the office where the suspect ordered him to empty the contents of the safe into a duffel bag.  The manager couldn’t tell whether the suspect already knew where the office was located.

The suspect then escorted the manager to another area of the restaurant where an employee was being held at gunpoint by a second masked assailant. The victim told officers he was in the kitchen cleaning up when he was approached by a man holding a gun.  He says the suspect ordered him to turn over his phone which he did. Officers say the two were ordered to get inside a walk-in refrigerator in the kitchen and to count to 30 before leaving.  They complied and then exited and began looking for a 3rd employee known to be working that night.

The 3rd employee told officers he escaped when he was approached by the two gunmen but ran down a hallway and around a corner, before getting in an elevator and taking it to the basement. He says he locked the elevator so the suspects could not pursue him. He says he ran outside and took off his work apron so that he could hide in the bushes.   He remained there until officers arrived on scene.  His work apron was later recovered 300 yards from the scene.

Police say one suspect was described as a white male, approximately 6’01”, with a muscular build. He was also wearing all dark clothing with a dark colored mask covering his face.  Detectives say the race of the second suspect is unknown but the victims told police he seemed to be in his 20’s, 5’07” to 5’09”, wearing all dark clothing with his face concealed by a black mask.

There is no surveillance video or images of the suspects but detectives are hoping someone has bragged about their large ‘score’.  Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for any information that leads to an arrest in the case. If you know who was involved, submit an anonymous tip via the P3 Tips App on your phone or at http://www.P3Tips.com. You can also call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Cerril Turner is classified by the Pierce County Prosecutor`s Office as a High Priority Offender:

He’s a level three sex offender — the worst of the worst.

He’s a violent gang member who calls himself “OG Ugly.”

And he’s considered ‘armed and dangerous’ after Pierce County detectives say he turned an elevator ride at an apartment complex in Tacoma into terror for a pair of people who were inside with him — pulling a gun on them as he got out.

“Our suspect was convicted of rape. He’s been convicted of failing to register. He has a DUI and he also has weapons charges, so that’s a trifecta of somebody we want to get picked up right away, because we have somebody we know is drinking. We know is possibly armed and has failed to register, so the High Priority Unit of the Pierce County Prosecutors Office is taking a look at him and they want him put into custody too, so this is somebody that knows the police are after him and when he is caught, he’s going to be locked up and he’s going to be held accountable and he may go away for quite some time,” said Pierce County Det. Ed Troyer.

Turner has also been convicted of assault with sexual motivation.

He’s wanted for two counts of assault, illegally having a gun, DUI and failing to register as a sex offender.

He’s 44 years old, 5’8” and weighs 215 pounds.

Pierce County prosecutor Mark Lindquist says the High Priority Offender Program was specifically designed to take repeat offenders, like Turner, off the streets.

WANTED IN EDMONDS —
Take a look at this guy leaving the grocery store with a greeting card in his hand. Thoughtful guy, right? Wrong — because police say he bought it with a credit card stolen from a victim in Edmonds.

Detectives need to know his name and say that greeting card is part of dozens of charges he made at stores in Bellevue, Kirkland and Seattle.

“This is one of those cases where someone ends up with a credit card missing, likely stolen in the mail and they don’t realize it until they have, in this case $2,300 worth of charges,” said Edmonds Police Sgt. Shane Hawley. “24 fraudulent charges over a period of eight days. We’ve got a great picture of him coming out of one grocery store, holding a greeting card and nothing says, ‘I love you’ like giving you a greeting card that’s been purchased with a stolen credit card. That’s super-classy.”

“With the pictures we got we’re hoping somebody recognizes him and will let us make some contact with him and figure out why he thought it would be a good idea to go on a spending spree with someone else’s card,” said Sgt. Hawley.

Clik here to view.WANTED IN SEATTLE —
Quite the fashion choice on this robbery suspect who demanded only $5 dollar bills from the clerk in south Seattle.

Note the Universal Studios jacket, the blue and gray scarf that may be a Dallas Cowboys scarf, a peach-colored sash over his khaki pants and carrying a pink bag.

Seattle Police are hoping you can identify him after he robbed a 7-Eleven on Martin Luther King, Jr. Way S. on May 25th.

Detectives say he’s black, 5’7” to 5’8”, with a medium build, 30 to 35 years old, with a small patch of hair on his chin.

“He’s very distinctive. He’s very calm. He tells the clerk on duty he wants a carton of cigarettes and the cash and he also tells the clerk on duty that I have a gun, so the clerk fearing for his life, he opens the cash drawer and then the suspect says, ‘I only want the $5’s,’ which is interesting to me, but he takes the three $5 dollar bills and the cigarettes and then he leaves the store,” said Ret. Det. Myrle Carner with Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound.

Police think he may be responsible for other robberies, as well.

If you can identify him, Crime Stoppers will pay you a cash reward of up to $1,000. Call the hot line at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477), or use the P3 Tips App on your phone.

It’s time to brew some justice for coffee shops in Edmonds being targeted by the same burglar police are hoping you can help identify.

“We’re looking for someone that has hit about eight coffee shops so far,” said Edmonds Police Sgt. Shane Hawley. “Looks like he does about two or three in a night, will take a couple weeks off and then hit two or three more. He’s been doing this for several weeks now. We’ve got some video of him showing up and then leaving one of the burglary scenes. We have a good car description and that’s a 2017 to 2018 Toyota Corolla. It looks like it’s got one of the better trim packages and decent alloy wheels on it and it also has no front plate and there’s one shot where we can tell there’s probably somebody sitting in the front passenger seat. The burglar’s description is a little more vague. We can tell that he’s going to be a white male, we don’t know age, fairly thin and he’s wearing blue jeans and a white hoodie and the hood is up and his face is covered, so going to be difficult with that, but he’s wearing a red sweatshirt over the top of the hoodie and we can see he’s got gloves and some sort of pry bar and he’s going in, really looking for cash boxes, he’s taken a couple computers and that sort of thing, but just whatever’s left overnight, waiting for opening the next day.”

If you recognize the getaway car, or know anything at all that you think could help Edmonds Police identify this chronic coffee shop crook, call the hot line at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477), or use the P3 Tips App on your smart phone to submit the information to Crime Stoppers. It's anonymous and you'll get a cash reward if your tip helps lead to an arrest.

Clik here to view.WANTED IN MARYSVILLE and LYNNWOOD —
Recognize this ‘Pink Bag Bandit?’

She’s suspected of robbing banks in Marysville and Lynnwood and threatening to have a gun.

The bank cameras got great looks at her and detectives also have her on camera getting gas before her Marysville heist — and a second suspect helping her from behind the wheel of a black Chevy Camaro. “There was an exchange between the female suspect, once she parks the stolen vehicle at the gas pumps and the suspect who is parked just next to her at the pumps, in the black Camaro. We checked with a local dealership, they believe that car to be between a 2012 and 2014,” said Marysville Police Det. Chris Jones. It’s a convertible, with after-market wheels and a custom front grill guard.

Detectives say the Honda the ‘Pink Bag Bandit’ drove was stolen from the Tulalip Casino hotel and recovered soon after she hit the Washington Federal Bank in Marysville on May 9th. She’s also accused of robbing the Washington Federal in Lynnwood two days later. Detectives say she used a stolen car that was later found for that one, as well.

On May 9^th, before the Marysville robbery, she also went into a nearby Shell station to pay for the gas with some change you can see her lay down on the counter in the surveillance video.

With all these great looks -- someone's got to know her name. "Good, high-quality video that we have, actually, from a couple of different angles, other than just from the bank, so I do think it's very good, as far as showing the build of the female suspect, approximate heighth, her gait, the way she moves, the way she carries herself, the clothing that she's wearing is pretty identifiable, so we're hoping that the video will give us a little better idea of who she may be,” said Det. Jones.

Detectives think she's white, in her 20's, with face acne, her hair braided, wearing big sunglasses and sporting that grocery store-type bag with pink straps.

Like any bank robber we feature, a guaranteed $1,000 reward is yours if you can identify this ‘Pink Bag Bandit,’ or give detectives information on that black Camaro and the driver inside it that could lead to arrests.
