Maurice Nesbitt is fourth person to be arrested after their case appeared on the Fox revival
A fugitive who was featured on last week’s season finale of Fox’s “America Most Wanted” was arrested Monday, marking the fourth person to be arrested after their case appeared on the five-episode revival, TheWrap has learned exclusively.
Maurice Nesbitt, who was found guilty of felony murder in 2017, was arrested without incident by the U.S. Marshals Service Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force, one week after his case was covered by “AMW” revival host Elizabeth Vargas and her team on TV. Readers can see a clip from that segment via the video above.
Multiple tips about Nesbitt were called in to a few different tip lines in Alabama ahead of his arrest on Monday, including the tip lines for “In Pursuit with John Walsh,” Crime Stoppers and “AMW,” two individuals with knowledge tell TheWrap. Per once source, the U.S. Marshals Service says the timing of all of the Nesbitt tips were too coincidental to not have some attribution to the Fox series featuring the case a week ago.

Here’s the official description of Nesbitt’s case, per Fox, which is the most recent to be featured on “America’s Most Wanted” ahead of an arrest:
Maurice Nesbitt violently abused Rashawn Jackson over the course of their six-year relationship, eventually leading to her attempting to sever ties with him. Nesbitt entered the apartment she was sharing with her mother and sister late at night, and he and Rashawn spent about 10 minutes smoking cigarettes and drinking sodas in her bedroom before he shot and killed her. Evidence suggests Rashawn was not anticipating being shot as there were no signs or sounds of an argument. Nesbitt fled the scene and was eventually arrested for murder on July 23, 2014. Authorities say that Nesbitt’s lawyer informed the judge that he had cancer and needed to be out on bond to receive treatment. He was released with an ankle monitor and then fled before final arguments in his trial, where he was convicted of felony murder.
Based on the original series hosted by John Walsh, which ran on Fox from 1988-2011 and on Lifetime from 2011-2012, Fox’s “America’s Most Wanted” revival is hosted by Vargas and presents the cases of some of the country’s most dangerous fugitives.

In an interview with TheWrap last month, Vargas said the show employs phone banks of law enforcement officials to monitor tips received through the tip line and on social media.
“In the 10 years since ‘America’s Most Wanted’ went off the air, there’s been an explosion in technology,” she said. “People now have an HD camera in their pocket in the form of their phone. And they can instantly take pictures and videos and text us and reach us on social media platforms. It’s just an unbelievable interconnectedness.”

'America's Most Wanted' Viewer Tip Leads to 1187th … – Variety
Variety It’s only a week after “America’s Most Wanted” returned to air and already a viewer tip has led to a new capture. This marks the 1,187th one for the series, which originated in 1988. Phillip Dent was arrested for a carjacking that took place in Littleton, Colo. in January. Through security camera footage from the car wash where the crime took place, the January event was covered on the premiere episode of Fox’s new version of “America’s Most Wanted,” which premiered March 15. In the footage, which you can watch above, a man in a baseball cap is seen entering the car wash, where a minivan is being serviced, open the driver’s side door and struggle to pull the driver out. She fights back, but he bites her on the arm, removes her from her own vehicle, and drives away in it. At the time, Vargas narrated that police had the name of the suspect, and knew what he looked like, but needed viewer help to find him. And after seeing the “crime alert” case on the show, that’s exactly what a local resident in Denver did. Contacting the Littleton Police Department with information that proved to be accurate and helpful, Dent was arrested. The details of this arrest will be explored on the next new episode of “America’s Most Wanted,” which airs Monday, March 29 at 9 p.m. on Fox. “America’s Most Wanted” takes viewer tips for all of the cases shown, both through the hotline (1-833-3-AMW-TIPS) and website (AMWTIPS.COM). “America’s Most Wanted” was revived by Fox this year, a decade after the network had canceled the original series in 2011. Originally premiering on the broadcaster in 1988 with John Walsh in the host role, the show moved to Lifetime in September 2011, just a few months after Fox canceled it. It aired new episodes there through 2012, with its official cancelation coming almost six months later, in March 2013. During that original run, 1,186 fugitives were brought to justice. When Fox announced the revival of this series, president of alternative entertainment and specials, Rob Wade, said they hoped to “continue John Walsh’s long-standing mission to be a powerful voice for crime victims everywhere.” Utilizing new technology and other crime-fighting tools and engaging the citizen detectives who have been empowered by social media over the last decade, “America’s Most Wanted” is already well on its way to helping capture dozens, if not hundreds, more criminals.

At the time of its cancellation by the Fox television network in June 2011, it was the longest-running program in the network’s history (24 seasons), a mark since surpassed by The Simpsons, although the program was revived ten years later. The show started off as a half-hour program on February 7, 1988. In 1990, the show’s format was changed from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. The show’s format was reverted to 30 minutes in 1995, and then back to 60 minutes in 1996. A short-lived syndicated spinoff titled America’s Most Wanted: Final Justice aired during the 1995–96 season. The September following the initial 2011 cancellation, the show’s host, John Walsh, announced that it would resume later that year on the cable network Lifetime,[3] where it ran until its March 28, 2013 cancellation.[4] This was reportedly due to low ratings and the level of royalty payments to Fox which holds the trademark and copyright. It was succeeded by John Walsh Investigates, a one-off special on Lifetime. The show featured reenactments of dangerous fugitives that are portrayed by actors, interspersed with on-camera interviews, with Walsh in a voiceover narration. Each episode also featured photographs of dangerous fugitives, as well as a toll-free hotline number where viewers could give information at 1-800-CRIME-TV (1-800-274-6388). On 2 May 2008, the program’s website announced its 1,000th capture. Many of the series’ cases have some connection outside the United States or have not taken place in the United States at all. The series’ first international capture was in Nova Scotia in 1989. With Walsh at the helm, America’s Most Wanted began to broaden its scope. In addition to the regular segments narrated by Walsh, the show expanded its segments and correspondents. The first two-hour quarterly special aired on Saturday, October 29, 2011, on Fox.[5] The second two-hour special aired on Saturday, December 17, 2011, the third two-hour special aired on Saturday, February 11, 2012, and the fourth and final two-hour special aired on Saturday, April 21, 2012. On July 13, 2014, a successor premiered on CNN called The Hunt with John Walsh, which added more international stories to its predecessor.[6] The series ran until the end of its fourth season on November 19, 2017. In 2019, Walsh began hosting the Investigation Discovery series In Pursuit with John Walsh.[7] In January 2020, Fox announced plans to revive America’s Most Wanted.[8] The revival aired from March 15 to April 12, 2021, and was hosted by Elizabeth Vargas.[9][10] History[edit] Conception and early airing[edit] Logo used for the original Fox run The concept for America’s Most Wanted originally came from a German show,…
