The Federal Bureau of Investigation is
going to the movies looking for dangerous fugitives.
From August 24, 2001 to September 7, 2001, movie theaters in Washington,
D.C., and suburban Maryland and Virginia, will display slides featuring
three men wanted by the FBI and the Washington Metropolitan Police Department
(MPD). The slides, which will be shown on sixty-four screens in all,
will run several times before the previews and feature presentation
begins.
The FBI's Washington Field Office has an agreement with Cinema Advertising,
Inc. of Mahwah, New Jersey to publicize fugitives in several of its
movie houses.
The three fugitives appearing on the theater screens include:
1) Cornelius Smith, alias Thump. He is a 23-year-old black male, 5'10",
220 pounds, and is wanted on an outstanding Metropolitan Police Department,
District of Columbia warrant charging Smith with first degree murder
while armed.
2) Maurice Stewart is a 30-year-old black male, 5'8", 160 pounds, and
is wanted on an outstanding Metropolitan Police Department, District
of Columbia warrant charging Stewart with first degree murder while
armed.
3) David Burno is a 33-year-old black male, 5'6", 220 pounds and is
wanted on an outstanding Metropolitan Police Department, District of
Columbia warrant charging Burno with armed robbery.
The following theaters are scheduled to show the fugitive's profiles:
In Washington, D.C. - Cineplex Cinema, Cineplex Dupont 5, Cineplex Foundry,
Cineplex Inner Circle 3, Cineplex Outer Circle, Cineplex Uptown, Cineplex
Wisconsin Avenue Cinemas; In Maryland - Cineplex Marlow 6, Loews Rio
18, Wheaton Plaza Regional Center; In Virginia - Multiplex Cinemas Mt.
Vernon.
Should the placement of fugitive photographs in theaters generate leads
and be successful, the initiative may be continued by the FBI in additional
cities.
If anyone recognizes any of these dangerous individuals or has information
regarding their whereabouts, they are asked to contact the FBI's Washington
Field Office at area code 202 - 278-2000.
