do wilderness searches.

And so only, approximately

a square mile

around Robert

Fisher's wife's truck

was actually searched.

A human body in the

wilderness is quickly

taken apart by animals.

There are plenty of

coyotes up there.

I think that the only

trace of Robert Fisher

that we may ever

see would be the

rusting remains of

his handgun, sadly.

- Since 2001 there's

probably close to at least

10,000 leads that have come in.

(dark eerie music)

- [Charlie] Out of

those 10,000 leads,

how many would you consider

to be strong leads?

- 10 to 20.

(dark eerie music)

- [Charlie] And how many

leads do you get today?

- Four to five a day sometimes,

of people calling in.

(dark eerie music)

This case has generated

a life of its own.

He has a very average look.

He doesn't stand out in a crowd.

He blends in very well.

And that's what's made

this case so challenging.

We put the information out,

and we appreciate

all the calls we get.

People know about this guy.

And we know they do,

'cause they're calling us

every time they see him.

But a lot of these

people that are getting

called in on are very

good look-alikes.

- Fisher is, you know,

his look is average.

In all honesty.

But there is another

aspect of him,

that he has very sharp features

on his nose, his brows.

He has a unique walk.

(dark ambient music)

- He had back surgery

on his lower back,

and he has a bad back,

and it's very sore.

And he walks with a

very erect posture,

chest sticking out,

kinda like how you walk

if you had a sore back.

He's got a gold tooth in his

upper left bicuspid tooth.

Now he may still have that

gold tooth or he may not.

(eerie ambient music)

Tourists were in

Guatemala at a market,

and they were taking

photos of the market

and captured an individual

in the background.

Well, the individual

didn't like the idea that

he was in the background

in some of the pictures

and approached the tourists.

- Take.

"You taking my photograph?

"Give me your camera."

(eerie ambient music)

I think he made some remark

about committing crime.

- [Charlie] Yeah, "I've killed

before and I'll kill again."

- Exactly.

So, to me, it's interesting.

- It looks similar to him.

And we went out and

attempted to identify

who that individual was.

There are times when

we are able to find

the person people call in on.

And other times there's

just not enough information,

and that's what

happened in Guatemala.

So that's kinda still

sittin' out there.

So we're kinda

watching that area.

We have a number

of sightings that

in the United States as well.

In Grand Isle, Louisiana,

before the hurricane

hit down there,

we were getting sightings

of him down there.

We've had a number

of people call

that didn't know each

other called in on.

When we were out

looking for the person,

but we have not been able

to find who that guy was.

(dark ambient music)

The caller basically

called the tip line

a week after it

was aired and said,

"Hey, this is Robert Fisher.

"I'm glad I killed the

b*tch, you'll never find me,"

and hung up.

Investigation

there was negative.

They tried and they

printed the phone,

interviewed witnesses, and

we weren't able to determine

if that was actually him or not.

- [Charlie] Do you think

Robert made that call?

- I don't.

Why would he give us an edge

and lead us to where

he might possibly be

where the phone call came from?

So I can't see him doing that.

(dark eerie music)

- We worked a lot

of stories together.

I had a lot of respect

for him as a detective.

He really became

tied into his cases.

It was very emotional for him.

I know he would take it home.

Just like sometimes we take

it home as journalists.

- What really plagued

him was the fact that

we couldn't find him.

And he thought about

it day and night

where could Robert Fisher be,

where could he have gone?

Often I would get

a call from him at

11 o'clock at

night with an idea,

and my phone would ring,

"Hey, I just thought of this.

"We gotta talk about

this tomorrow."

It couldn't wait 'til tomorrow,

we needed to talk

about it right now,

and then we'd spend the

next two hours on the phone.

- He could not wait 'til

the day we found him.

And he could sit down

and look at him across the table

and interview him

and try and determine

just what happened.

- All he wanted to

do was sit in a room

and look at Robert Fisher.

And ask him one question, why?

- He never said

if, he said when.

And he really thought

Fisher would talk to him.

Because John was

convinced as well,

more that he was so narcissistic

that he would like

to tell his story.

(eerie ambient music)

(camera clicks)

- He had evidence that

led him to believe

Robert Fisher was living

south of the border.

To me, that seems the

most plausible thing.

One of the things that

struck me about Fisher

after kinda studying his

life and his lifestyle,

he didn't strike me

as a particularly

technologically savvy guy.

He left the birth

certificate behind.

He hated debt, he

always paid cash.

And so if you think about,

what are one of the

places you could go

where you could pay

cash for everything,

pretty much disappear?

The rules don't really apply

or they're not well-enforced.

And I think he's in a

touristy area of Mexico.

That's my personal opinion.

(camera clicks)

- They've had him

down in Mexico,

other Latin American

countries, Brazil,

(camera clicks)

at one point there was a doctor

who used to work with Robert

who thought he saw him in Brazil

and just caught a

glimpse of the guy

as he was sitting in his

car in the car next to him

and that car took off, and

thought he had seen him.

But that's again,

it's a common look.

And we didn't even enough

to go on that lead.

That occurs almost

daily on this case.

(dark eerie music)

- He had been missing, the

case had gone a little cold,

and somebody had

reported him up in Canada

up in a little area

called White Rock.

- It was someone who

looked like Fisher.

Someone saw the wanted poster.

They called it in to the

Canadian authorities.

- And I remember

when they thought

that they had found

Fisher in Canada.

John Kirkham called me,

it was late at night,

and he said, "Tammy, this is it.

"We think we got him,

we think we got him."

- We started out going though

the roller-coaster again of

what we would do

if it is Robert,

how we would help him

through the jail situation.

The same thought processes

go through your head

every time there's something

else on the news about it.

- Well, I was living in

Seattle, not too far and I said,

well, I'm not doing

anything, I could go up.

See if it's really him,

I'm kinda curious

how this works out.

So I went up to Canada.

They basically pretended

to book me in the jail,

so that they could get me

and Bob into the same room.

So that I could look

at him face-to-face,

and hear him talk, see him walk
