North Texas fugitive Cesar Colin featured on America's Most Wanted
DALLAS - A violent fugitive from North Texas will be featured on Monday night’s episode of "America’s Most Wanted."
Cesar Colin is wanted for aggravated assault after allegedly stabbing his girlfriend in White Settlement in 2016.
Police believe the stabber initially fled to Mexico, but they now believe he might be back in North Texas.
In the early morning hours of Nov. 20, 2016, White Settlement police say Gloria Sanchez was home with her then-boyfriend Cesar Colin when he became hostile because she refused to have sex with him,
"That led to her getting up to call police," said White Settlement Police Chief Christopher Cook. "He told her, ‘If you call, I’m going to kill you.’"
Colin learned Sanchez called 911, so he stabbed her five times, according to the department.
"Pretty significant injuries. She tries to get away. She ends up outside. She’s trying to get to the neighbor’s house just for help. She ends up collapsing," Cook said.
Investigators located Sanchez in a pool of blood, but Colin was gone, and he’s still on the run.
Sanchez was left for dead that morning. She nearly bled out, but first responders showed up with tourniquets and saved her.
It gets worse.
Police believe Colin thought Sanchez was dead. But after Colin learned of her recovery, he allegedly sent two hitmen with guns to her new residence to kill her.
"Her daughter was there. They were looking for her," Cook said. "Her daughter kind of played it real cool and said, ‘Hey, she’s not here.’"
Today, Sanchez is alive and well.
"We know that someone knows where this guy’s at," Cook said.
Police believe Colin initially fled to Mexico, but where is he now?
"He may have come back from Mexico. Could even be in the North Texas area," Cook said.
White settlement PD is now working with America’s most wanted in an effort to catch the criminal.
"This is a real bad guy, right. We only go after the worst of the worst on the show, and we picked a big case with this one," said America’s Most Wanted co-host Callahan Walsh. "They want to make sure this guy is caught so they’re using our show and shining a big white spotlight on this fugitive in hopes that one of our viewers knows where he is. They are desperate for any piece of information that can lead to his whereabouts."
They’re hoping someone out there has that piece of the puzzle that unlocks the door to justice.
Police say Colin has ties to the Grand Prairie area.
You are asked to call 911 if you see him or if you have any information of his whereabouts.
