South Dakota Fugitive Featured on ‘America’s Most Wanted’

Last week's season finale of the FOX show America's Most Wanted featured an urgent plea for the capture of a long-time South Dakota fugitive.

How it started

57-year-old David Allen Bonness is accused of sexually abusing his stepdaughter in Rapid City, beginning in 2003.

According to police reports, the abuse continued for years before authorities questioned Bonness about the case in 2013. He left that interview before it was finished and hasn't been seen since.
