Investigators Need Help Locating Fugitive With Ties To Minnesota
Authorities recently issued an alert and hopefully, that alert will bring a dangerous individual to justice.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office sent the alert asking for the public's help locating a wanted fugitive.
Details On William Guy Amick III: A Fugitive With Ties To Minnesota
Authorities say William Guy Amick III, 36, is charged in Fillmore County District Court with 13 felony counts related to child sexual abuse material including using minors in sexual performance, soliciting a child to engage in sexual conduct, and possession of pornographic work involving a minor. The incidents involve multiple victims between the ages of newborn and 7 years old.
Amick (āʹ-mihk), who has also been known to go by “E”, had lived in Mabel and Rushford, Minnesota for approximately two years until May 2023. His whereabouts since that time are unknown. He may or may not still be in Minnesota.
He is described as:
- A white male
- Height: 6 feet, 3 inches
- Weight: 123 pounds
- Eyes: Brown
- Hair: Dark Brown
Amick often uses a false female identity when he interacts with other men online to create child sexual abuse material involving the men’s children.
Investigators shared that they believe Amick receives payments from people who support his online activities and his financial supporters may not know his true identity nor be aware of his criminal activity.
Amick is also a fugitive from Pennsylvania on an unrelated case of a similar nature.
How To Provide Tips On William Guy Amick III's Whereabouts:
Authorities urge anyone with information on Amick’s whereabouts to submit a tip using the U.S. Marshals Service web tip form, www.p3tips.com/USMS.aspx, or tip line, 877-WANTED-2 (be sure to indicate if the tip should be routed to the state of Pennsylvania, county of Washington). Tips may be anonymous.
BCA predatory crimes agents and Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office investigators are conducting this investigation with significant support from the U.S. Marshals Service and the FBI.
They add that investigators continue to work to identify the other men involved in creating the child sexual abuse material and one man has been charged in the state of Washington.
The aforementioned case started with a tip, therefore it's important for anyone suspecting illegal online activity involving children to contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children CyberTipline online (above) or by calling 800-843-5678.
