Recently, a man accused and known of slaying a family was arrested thanks to a television program. Paul Merhige was accused of shooting his two twin sisters, a 6 year old girl and his 79 year old aunt. Merhige and his crime was featured on an episode of America's Most Wanted, and it wasn't the program itself that led to a call and inevitably and arrest of Merhige, but a commercial for the show, where a viewer recognized the accused.
I've always loved America's Most Wanted and this story just make me feel good inside. I like the show because it has an entertaining appeal, but it brings attention to the viewers of criminals who are on the run and over the years America's Most Wanted has been responsible for the capture of hundreds of criminals, and this story just features the ability that the show has, and I like it.
