Why do 'America's Most Wanted' come to Bakersfield?
What's up with Bakersfield as the destination lately for "America's Most Wanted" fugitives? Last night, Malcolm Kysor was arrested at Saunders Park. The escaped convict from Pennyslvania was reportedly hanging out at the park. According to AMW's Web site, he had been serving a life sentence since 1988 for beating a guy to death with a golf club. Then, a week ago, Frankie Tucker was arrested at the Greyhound bus station downtown. He had fled Texas with a warrant out for his arrest for sexual assault. (Or as AMW reports, indecency to a child.) And if you've been following the case of Tanya Brown, here's a link to her AMW report , which states "When AMW aired the story of Tanya Diane Brown and the children that cops say she abducted, it was only a matter of time before someone noticed Tanya and her five kids." Other unknown fugitives are representin' Bako on the AMW Web site. Check these out:

Could be several reasons. Anytime I go to Bay Area, La Basin, or Las Vegas area, I am almost amazed at the number of people who think Bakersfield is a small rural community made up of country hicks and farmers, not a major city. For that matter, how many of us locals hear the stereotype of Oildale as white trash trailers and inbreeding. Criminals who don't know any better may think Bakersfield has Andy and Barney for a police dept. Gang members from the LA vicinity seem to think Bakersfield is the place to lie low if on the lam, or easy pickin's for armed robbery (like a card club). posted by
