Manhunters: Fugitive Task Force - Season 3

Detective Sergeant Luddie Austin and Detective Kevin Searing are tracking a fugitive wanted for the second-degree rape of a young woman barely out of high school. Soon Commander Lenny DePaul and Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez soon join the hunt. Upon hearing the details of the crime, Michy becomes outraged and determined to make sure the woman, who was brave enough to come forward with her story, receives justice. 

It's ICE Supervisor Tommy Kilbride's 20th anniversary on the job and today he gets a case that will demand all of his hard-earned skills and instincts to solve. A convicted felon--expert in fraud and forgery--has snuck back into the U.S. illegally. Raising the stakes, new information suggests that the fugitive is engaged in a massive drug trafficking operation.

A retired corrections officer and former boxing coach who is wanted for kidnapping and sexual assault is hunted from New Jersey to Florida.

What seems like a quiet day at Fugitive Task Force headquarters suddenly turns when Commander Lenny DePaul receives an urgent call for assistance. Colleagues in Washington DC believe that one of their most wanted fugitives--an immigrant accused of viciously murdering his own family--has fled to Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood.

It's a busy day for ICE Supervisor Agent Tommy Kilbride. After capturing a dangerous PCP dealer, he's already searching for a fugitive known as "Punto Com" ("Dot Com" in Spanish). A computer expert, he is suspected of identity theft and wanted for being in the US illegally after being previously deported for wire fraud.

Supervisory Inspector Greg Holmes and Deputy Dennis Tait don't know it yet, but a cold case from Houston is about to get hot. In 1994 a Jamaican national allegedly shot and killed a drug dealer and made off with his drugs. He then vanished without a trace.

Commander Lenny DePaul hasn't been back to his hometown of Utica, New York, in a long time. In this case, Lenny and U.S. Marshal Supervisor Joe Ciciarelli, Deputy Jamie Farrington and Investigator Bill Williams are hunting down a dangerous woman on the run after she allegedly slashed a former friend in the face with a box cutter. To make his hometown safer, Lenny and the Marshals leave no stone unturned until the woman with the box cutter is off the streets.

In 2008, a Dominican national violated probation and went into hiding and local authorities were unable to locate him. Now the job falls on the shoulders of Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez and the Fugitive Task Force. Because the fugitive is a career criminal, the longer it takes to apprehend him, the greater the risk that another victim will be robbed, assaulted, or worse. It's a race against time as Michy and Lenny drum up leads to locate and apprehend their man.

Commander Lenny DePaul and Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez receive a prominent, "ripped from the headlines" case out of the U.S. Marshals' office in Puerto Rico. Federal authorities on the island have completed a major drug offensive against a notorious gang with 71 people facing indictment. The operation, while a major success, failed to capture one of the alleged leaders, now believed to be hiding in the New York. Michy and Lenny waste no time gathering the assets for a major manhunt.

Senior Parole Officer Vinny Senzamici and his team make it their priority to find a level three sex offender on the run. The fugitive sexually abused a six-year-old girl over a two-year period; and almost certainly will strike again.

After committing attempted murder in the United States, a Mexican gang member is deported back to his country. Soon after, federal authorities learn that he has slipped back into the U.S., and the Marshals' Fugitive Task Force is called in to track the convicted felon down. 

Detective Roxanne Lopez has a full plate helping to clean up the crime in her New York City suburb when she pulls an urgent new case. A woman comes forward to tell Roxanne a heartbreaking story: her uncle allegedly had sexually molesting her after a family barbeque. And now the uncle (who's also one of the area's most prolific criminals) has disappeared. Roxanne seeks the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.

Senior Inspector Mike Romani is in the Sex Offender's Unit and is eager to rein in everybody that breaks the law. But for Mike, cases involving children are especially urgent. Dr. Michael Bourke, the U.S. Marshals' Chief Psychologist from Washington DC, is in New York City to join Mike, Commander Lenny DePaul and a team of Marshals on a briefing of Mike's latest case. 

Senior Inspector Mike Woerner of the Albany Marshal's office has a lead on a "Most Wanted" fugitive in upstate New York. Allegedly the suspect participated in an attempted murder--a drive-by shooting in Troy. Mike fears that the shooting was the opening salvo in a larger drug war. If he can apprehend the fugitive and put him behind bars, he may stem some of the impending violence. 

In Virginia Beach, Virginia, nearly 30 handguns were stolen after thieves broke into a gun store through the roof. The case made all the local news reports. When Supervisory Inspector Greg Holmes learned that the fugitives might be hiding out in Brooklyn, he called an emergency 5 a.m. briefing with Commander Lenny DePaul, Inspector Dennis Tait, and Supervisor Ed McMahon. 

When Senior Officer Vinny Senzamici is assigned a parolee who's on the most wanted list, he knows he has a "ticking time bomb" on his hands. He assembles his team and assigns the manhunt to his lead investigator, Officer Al Fernandez. The fugitive has a number of hideouts in Harlem, and it's a building-to-building search as the officers interview family members and friends in an effort to find the hideout. 

When Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez is tasked with apprehending the same fugitive for the second time in her career, the case brings back memories of her first days on the task force. Her target is charged with probation violation after convictions for escape and drug dealing. She gathers a team of Marshals together and works with Commander Lenny DePaul to figure out a game plan. 

Five years ago, state witness Kendra DeGrasse was found murdered in her S.U.V. at a Trenton intersection. Her death devastated those who loved her and brought fear to the community of Trenton. When a witness is murdered, no one wants to talk to police, making it even more difficult to solve crimes. Now, five years later, detectives have a murder suspect and need to locate him to prove to the city that innocent victims and witnesses will be protected.

In the Syracuse office, Supervisor Joe Ciciarelli and his team--including Investigator Lyn Fox and Deputy Julie "Jules" Gossin--are working the case of a dangerous and elusive fugitive, a man who once robbed a Burger King with a sawed-off shotgun. Now the fugitive is on the loose in Syracuse with many places to hide. 

Supervisor Mike Woerner and his team are hunting "Young Gun," one of upstate New York's Most Wanted fugitives. Young Gun earned his name because he always carries a weapon. When he walks into a bar, people walk out, afraid for their lives--and with good reason. 

Senior Officer Vinny Senzamici and Officer Jesus Dumeng start off the day by nabbing a parole violator who raped a nine-year old. Without missing a beat, they jump right into another case. Their next fugitive is a man wanted for violating parole on a manslaughter conviction. He killed his girlfriend's eight-year old daughter with a metal pipe. 

Supervisor Tommy Kilbride, Deportation Officer Dennis Carroll, and the ICE team are working a brand new illegal reentry case. Their target was deported several years ago after brutally assaulting his ex-wife, but has returned to the country and could be after her again.
