Summary

Raymond "RJ" McLeod is one of the U.S. Marshal’s Top 15 Most Wanted Fugitives. This week I am bringing you an active hunt for a real life killer (“alleged killer”). 38-year old Raymond Samuel “RJ” McLeod has been on the run since 2016 – he is wanted in connection to the murder of 30-year old Krystal Mitchell. Raymond fled to Central America and has been seen in Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala. He is currently still on the run. Krystal’s mother, Josephine Wentzel, has been actively looking for RJ and she has come very close to finding him…but she now needs our help! Let’s amplify her voice. Share RJ’s WANTED poster on all of your social media accounts. And if you know someone in Central or South America – even better – share the poster with them as well. McLeod is a 5-foot-11 white male with brown hair and hazel eyes. At the time he fled, McLeod weighed 245 pounds and had a tattooed muscular physique. There is a $50k Reward for his capture. If you have any information, contact the U.S. Marshals at 1-877-WANTED-2 / 1-877-926-8332 or leave a tip online at https://www.usmarshals.gov/tips/. Here is a link to Josephine’s Book About her Hunt for RJ. The Book is Titled – “The Chase; In Hot Pursuit of My Daughter’s Killer.” All proceeds go to her continued chase. ----- Thanks to Today’s Sponsors: Prose!
