Bishop needs to pay and die in a small cell by himself for what he allegedly did. Let's do that tonight.
To date, this is the one "The Hunt" episode I'm looking forward to the most! I really believe that Bishop is catchable and I'm really excited to see if tonight's show brings results!
Bishop was one of my most wanted fugitives from AMW, and I've always been fascinated by his case.
I totally believe Harrell's story now about seeing Bishop in Sorrento, Italy seeing the guy himself talk. Someone who's not Bishop wouldn't say it's not me and run away (I didn't know he ran away afterwards when reading online about the sighting). The question is where is Bishop now. Even though my personal feeling is he's still in Europe, and likely still in Italy, I really hope he returned to the U.S. and he goes down in a similar fashion to the way Whitey Bulger went down.
If you want to make a new life for yourself fine but why kill your family as well? What did they do to you to deserve to be brutally murdered? I REALLY want to see this guy pay.
P.S. Officer Bruno, if you're reading this, great job tonight!
I rather enjoyed the episode and Officer Bruno, you did an amazing job!
Admittedly, this is the only episode so far my father wasn't interested in seeing because there really isn't any new information in this case.
Tell your dad it was an amazing episode and hey I consider the age-enhanced busts a new update. May have been online but not on AMW/The Hunt. In my opinion having already seen a cold case fugitive on AMW should make one more excited to see The Hunt give him/her an updated profile and modern look.
Gonna bump Bishop up in preparation for his repeat airing on The Hunt tonight. Ironically, he may turn out to be the guy The Hunt captures alive and not Shane Miller despite being 77 years old.
Tonight at 8 PM ET (assuming breaking news doesn't ruin it), Bishop's re-run is on CNN!
Anyone have any new theories or change their thoughts about anything after the episode? I can't help but think of some similarities to Whitey Bulger, fled to Europe, spotted by a friend, ran away. Will he eventually flee back to California and get arrested as well?
New article out- The FBI has received 350 tips since putting Bishop on the Top 10 list, and 75% of them have been from "The Hunt"!
Another article goes into more details on the leads they've had so far- a look-a-like in New York admitted to the similarities and asked for the wanted poster as a souvenir. Other tips which did not pan out were Cambodia and a corpse floating in Mexico.
SCOTTSBORO, Ala. – Investigators with the FBI confirm they will be on the ground in north Alabama Thursday to gather evidence from a John Doe buried in Scottsboro that could possibly be a fugitive on the FBI’s ten most wanted list.
John Doe was hit by a car on Highway 72 in 1981. WHNT News 19 did a profile on John Doe in Nov of last year. Investigators hoped our story and social media would help them figure out who the man was.
Now, the FBI is looking into the chance that the John Doe buried in Scottsboro could be a fugitive on the ten most wanted list linked to a mass killing of a Maryland family 38 years ago.
Investigators will gather DNA and dental records from John Doe to determine if he is William Bradford Bishop, Jr, a man accused of using a sledgehammer to murder his wife, mother, and three children in Potomac Maryland in 1976.
As you can see from these pictures of John Doe and Bishop, their is a resemblance.
Bishop was added to the FBI ten most wanted list in 2014.
Investigators said it is possible Bishop hid in the mountains for several years and could have hitchhiked 200 miles to Alabama. They said over the years , hundreds of tips have poured in related to the case, but so far no links.
WHNT News 19 has learned local law enforcement is aware of the investigation and are working with the FBI agents on the case.
P.S. This would be crazy if true. All these theories and sightings and he dies by getting hit by a car!
I swear if this actually turns out to be true, then I'm going to stop taking every supposed fugitive sighting/lead with 100% accuracy. First Beacher Hackney, then Shane Franklin Miller, now possibly even William Bradford Bishop.
The tip came off The Hunt airing!!!!! This will likely be direct capture #2 if it turns out to be Bishop!!!!!
According to a few article, we should know in a few weeks whether or not the body is Bishop's. Hey him or not The Hunt is in the news and making headlines again!
It is perplexing though because Graham Harrell made such a convincing argument that he saw Bishop in that men's room in Italy. Perhaps it was just a vagrant that looked like Bishop. But the "Oh God no" part, I dunno, maybe the guy was just crazy and he thought Harrell was asking him something else.
This John Doe was found in 1981. The Harrell sighting was 1978 I think (or 79). While it's possible Bishop could have fled to Italy and came back, it's probably more likely that if body is Bishop, that he never left the country and continued hitchhiking his way down South until his death. So my money is on that if this body is Bishop, then whoever Harrell saw that day wasn't him.
