He was a grandfather. A hunter. A man who vanished after a single, deadly act.

In this episode of Fugitive Files, we examine the case of Eugene Palmer, a New York man wanted for the 2012 murder of his daughter-in-law, Tammy Palmer. The dispute was domestic—but it turned deadly. According to law enforcement, Eugene waited near Tammy’s home with a shotgun, ambushed her, and disappeared into the woods behind his rural property.

What followed was a massive manhunt. Search dogs. Drones. Thermal imaging. But Eugene Palmer was gone.

Theories swirled. Some believe he died in the woods shortly after the killing. Others—including the FBI—are convinced he's still alive, possibly receiving help to stay hidden. In 2019, Palmer was added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, though he was later removed due to age and health concerns. Still, he remains officially wanted and charged with murder.

We explore:

• The family tension that led to the shooting

• The clues left behind at the scene

• The national manhunt and why it stalled

• And the ongoing debate: Is Eugene Palmer dead… or just very good at hiding?

He would be 80+ years old today—but the case remains open.

She thought she was helping a friend.
Instead, it was a setup—and she never came home.

In this episode of Fugitive Files, we unravel the tragic case of Alejandro Rosales Castillo, a young man accused of luring his ex-girlfriend, Truc Quan “Sandy” Ly Le, to her death over a debt he didn’t want to repay.

According to the FBI and court documents, Castillo allegedly arranged to meet Sandy in Charlotte, North Carolina, under the pretense of repaying money he owed her. Instead, authorities say he forced her to withdraw funds—then murdered her, abandoned her body in a wooded area, and fled across the border with an accomplice.

Surveillance footage confirms Castillo crossed into Mexico shortly after the crime in August 2016. Since then, he has evaded capture, becoming one of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.

Castillo is considered armed and extremely dangerous, and a substantial reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest.

He is charged with:

• First-degree murder

• Unlawful flight to avoid prosecution

• Robbery and kidnapping (in associated filings)

This is a case about trust, betrayal, and a young life lost in a senseless act of greed.

In this special After Hours installment of Fugitive Files, we revisit one of the most haunting criminal cases in recent memory — the November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students in the small town of Moscow. Through meticulous investigation, surveillance, and forensic breakthroughs, authorities identified and arrested Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old criminology PhD student, in connection with the killings. This episode examines the timeline from the night of the murders to the cross-country manhunt that led to Kohberger’s capture, the evidence that brought him into the spotlight, and the ongoing legal proceedings that could determine his fate. Told with care and respect for the victims, this is the chilling yet vital account of a case that stunned the nation.

He trained the terrorists.
He plotted the bombings.
And decades later — he’s still free.

In this episode of Fugitive Files, we investigate Saif al-Adel, a former Egyptian military officer turned al Qaeda strategist, indicted for his role in one of the deadliest terror attacks of the 20th century: the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed over 200 people and injured thousands.

According to a sweeping federal indictment filed by the U.S. District Court, al-Adel was a senior member of al Qaeda’s leadership and deeply involved in its most formative operations. The charges allege that he helped orchestrate the bombings, trained operatives, coordinated logistics, and furthered al Qaeda’s mission to confront Western influence with mass violence.

The case reveals chilling details:

• al Qaeda’s efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction

• Their global conspiracy to overthrow secular governments

• And their hostage-taking plans inside U.S. prisons — including an attempt to murder a federal official

Saif al-Adel was charged alongside Usama Bin Laden and other key figures. But while some have been captured or killed, al-Adel remains one of the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists, with a multimillion-dollar reward offered for information leading to his arrest.

He’s believed to be living under protection in Iran, out of reach — for now.

They promised the American Dream.
They sold a fantasy built on lies—and vanished with millions.

In this episode of Fugitive Files, we investigate Natalia and Victor Wolf, the elusive husband-and-wife duo behind Sky Development Group, a now-notorious real estate company at the center of one of the largest real estate frauds in U.S. history.

From 2004 to 2006, the Wolfs allegedly scammed retirees, immigrants, and first-time homebuyers, collecting deposits for homes that were never built, selling properties they didn’t own, forging deeds, and operating a fake title company to complete the illusion. Victims poured their life savings into these deals—only to discover the paperwork was worthless and the homes were a mirage.

Estimates suggest the Wolfs stole between $20 million and $100 million before fleeing the country in late 2006. They left behind empty lots, crushed dreams, and devastated families. A federal investigation quickly followed, resulting in charges of:

• Conspiracy to commit mail fraud

• Conspiracy to commit wire fraud

• Operating a fraudulent real estate business

But the Wolfs were gone—leaving behind only designer clothes, offshore accounts, and a trail of broken promises.

The FBI continues to pursue them.
They remain fugitives to this day.

She said she was protecting her child.
The court says she broke the law.

In this episode of Fugitive Files, we examine the international custody battle turned federal case surrounding Marcelle Guimaraes, a Texas mother who allegedly fled to Brazil with her young son, Nicolas Scott Brann, in violation of a U.S. court order.

Federal prosecutors say Guimaraes defied a legal custody agreement and took her son out of the United States without permission, sparking a years-long legal standoff between two countries — and two families. She now faces charges of international parental kidnapping and conspiracy to obstruct parental rights.

But the story doesn't stop with Marcelle. Her parents, Carlos and Jemima Guimaraes, were also indicted, accused of helping orchestrate the move and concealment. Though granted bond, they were considered high flight risks due to dual citizenship and significant financial resources. Their trial drew national attention, with claims that evidence supporting a domestic violence defense was improperly excluded — and that the full truth was never allowed to surface.

We break down:

• The custody battle that led to Marcelle's disappearance

• The legal charges filed in both the U.S. and Brazil

• The high-stakes courtroom drama involving her wealthy parents

• The international tensions between parental protection and legal abduction

• And the haunting question: Was it kidnapping, or escape from abuse?

Marcelle remains at large, believed to be in Brazil with her son. A federal warrant for her arrest remains active.

He wasn’t after money.
He was after revenge.

In this episode of Fugitive Files, we uncover the chilling case of Shahram Poursafi, an alleged member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), accused of orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot on American soil.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Poursafi attempted to hire a hitman for $300,000 to assassinate former National Security Advisor John Bolton — in what prosecutors believe was retaliation for the 2020 killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. And that wasn’t the end of it. After the first plot stalled, Poursafi allegedly dangled a second “job” for $1 million, possibly targeting former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Though Iran has publicly denied involvement, U.S. intelligence agencies say the threat is real — and ongoing. With Poursafi still at large, and a $20 million reward now offered for information leading to his capture, the case marks a dangerous intersection of state-sponsored terror and international revenge.

Poursafi is charged with:

• Use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire

• Providing material support to a transnational murder plot

This isn’t just a criminal case.
It’s a warning shot in a shadow war.

In one of the most harrowing cases to shake Washington state, former Army soldier Travis Decker is accused of murdering his three young daughters — ages 5, 8, and 9 — during a scheduled visitation. The girls were found near Decker’s abandoned truck, their wrists zip-tied and bags over their heads, with his DNA linking him to the crime. Investigators later uncovered evidence that Decker had researched fleeing to Canada before the killings, prompting a massive manhunt across rugged wilderness areas. While authorities have chased down numerous tips and reported sightings — including one in Idaho that proved false — Decker remains at large. With military survival training and the ability to disappear into remote terrain, he continues to evade capture. A substantial reward is on the table, but the clock is ticking as law enforcement races to bring him in before he vanishes for good.
