Perhaps someone who actually lives in the Boston area can shed some light on
this, but I was unaware there's an "anti-snitching" code among Bostonians, and that many are afraid to come
forward, even anonymously, to report crimes. That's exactly what John Walsh addressed when he was in the city recently
to tape an episode of America's Most Wanted, a show that combines anonymous tips and horribly-acted
reenactments to bring criminals to justice. He told the residents to do what's right and make the call if they know
anything. Residents, however, are apparently still wary of reporting anyone. The Boston episode will focus on two
separate homicide cases, and will air February 11.

I read John Walsh's book about his son's disappearance. It was riveting. I hope these people do come forward and tell the truth; they should keep in mind the families of the victims.

If indeed Bostonians have a hard time coming forward to report crimes, we can only blame the always useless and corrupt FBI. For years the city was terrorized by racketeer Whitey Bulger, but every time someone came forward to report him or an associate, or a local cop tried to wiretap his enterprise, Bulger's FBI agent contact (Bulger was a registered informant!) would tell Whitey, and the informant would turn up dead, or the cop re-assigned. Connolly the FBI guy is now is jail, but it doesn't make me trust that organization anymore-- Whitey's been on their Top 10 fugitive list for years, apparently as elusive as Osama. So either the FBI continues to be crooked, or remains inept.

I Hope with everyone's help we can find Jesse Caron and put him away before he hurt's anyone else. And my thoughts for Amber you are a child and he has you fooled for what he truly is. You know who I am the both of you. Why run if he did nothing wrong, I tried to help you Amber, But running with him is not helping you. You have no idea what Jesse Caron is capable of doing.You need to get away from him turn him in and go home to your parents Im sure they are worried about you and there you can get the help that you need. Because no matter what Jesse is going down with or without you by his side. You need to open your eyes and see him for what he truly is.A Man with nothing left to lose so he gains power from takeing life from others By Drugging them and then Rapping them.Iam another one of Jesse Carons Victims. And with everyone's help I will be his last>
