3 Seasons

Manhunters is a gripping true-crime series that gives an inside look into how the US Marshals Service tracks down some of the most dangerous fugitives in the country. Each episode follows a different team of marshals as they hunt for a specific target, often with the clock ticking and the stakes high.

From drug kingpins to murderers to white-collar criminals, the show covers a wide range of cases, highlighting the intelligence work, forensics, and technology that goes into tracking down suspects who have gone off the grid. The teams on the show are made up of a mix of seasoned veterans and rookies, which adds a layer of tension and drama to each case.

One of the standout aspects of Manhunters is the access it provides to the inner workings of the U.S. Marshals Service. Viewers get to see how the marshals use everything from surveillance footage to social media to old-fashioned shoe-leather detective work to piece together clues and finally apprehend their targets. There's also a sense of camaraderie and loyalty between the marshals that comes through in their interactions on screen, which makes the viewer feel invested in their success.

The show doesn't shy away from showing the gritty reality of what it takes to be a U.S. Marshal. The danger of the job is always present, and the show highlights the toll that taking down violent criminals can take on both the marshals themselves and their families. We see the risks associated with the job and the sacrifice made by the marshals in service of justice.

One particularly fascinating aspect of the show is the way it explores the psychology of fugitives on the run. We hear from experts who offer insights into the mindsets of criminals who are evading the law and the tactics they might use to remain hidden. Watching the marshals try to outsmart these fugitives is always an incredibly tense experience, and it's fascinating to see how they use their training and experience to get inside the head of the person they're hunting.

Overall, Manhunters is a gripping and intense show that will keep viewers on the edge of their seat. It's a must-watch for anyone interested in true-crime stories, and it provides a unique perspective on the work that goes into hunting down some of the most dangerous criminals in America. Whether you're a fan of police procedurals, documentaries, or just good old-fashioned suspense, Manhunters is a show that's guaranteed to deliver.

Tommy and Dennis, along with Detective Roxanne "Roxy" Lopez, brief Commander Lenny DePaul, are reporting that the fugitive may be hiding out in Spring Valley. Since Roxy covers that area, she'll be able to work some leads. After interviewing the ex-wife, the Marshals are one hundred percent sure that the fugitive is in the country. But the woman has no clue where her ex-husband is hiding, and the Marshals become concerned for her safety. Lenny reaches out to an informant and gets a credible lead, but it's not going to be easy.

After hiding her body for two weeks in his home, he dumped her in a lot. Though the body was never recovered, he was eventually arrested and confessed to the killing. He served a dozen years of his 19-year sentence, then ran shortly after he was released on parole. With Commander Lenny de Paul, the Marshals search for their perp among his family and friends in New York and Puerto Rico.
