'America's Most Wanted' doing special Chicago segment
April 21, 2010
"America's Most Wanted" is doing a show called "Windy City Fights Back."
The special edition, scheduled to air May 15, brings the show's star, John Walsh, to Chicago to "see how the city and its citizens are battling an epidemic of violence by fighting back."
The show is focusing on the city's surveillance camera system and how it's used to identify suspects. Walsh also is expected to meet with members of Purpose Over Pain, a support group for families of murder victims, a spokeswoman for the show said.
Purpose Over Pain was co-founded by Willie Williams Jr., whose son was murdered in 2006. A suspect was arrested in the killing earlier this month.
Walsh will ask his viewers to "help find justice" for the other members of the support group, the spokeswoman confirmed.
The show appears on WFLD-Channel 32.
