'America's Most Wanted' to feature slain Fort Myers police officer

Fort Myers Police Officer Andrew Widman will be featured on an upcoming segment of "America's Most Wanted."

Widman was killed July 18 during a domestic dispute call. He will be part of an upcoming In the Line of Duty segment on the popular Fox show.

John Turchin, a senior correspondent for the show, will be in Fort Myers on Monday, during a presentation of a check from the Drop in the Bucket campaign. That fundraiser was launched in the aftermath of Widman's death. The campaign aimed at raising $100,000 for Widman's widow and three children.

Police officer's death should be beginning of reform
http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2008/jul ... -beginnin/

Hell of a rap sheet . Now we have a young Family with no father and was a cop to boot . Taken down by this fine example of a citizen . Who should have been EXILE

Tragic ... inexcusable ... and guess what? The Open Borders Lobby, the National Council of La Raza, El Pueblo, Southern Poverty Law Center, MALDEF and all their "Immigration Reform" "Shamnesty" pals don't give one whit about dead Americans, police officers or not, killed, slain and murdered by illegal aliens.

Not one whit. They want integration of our population and the disintegration of the American People at any price at all costs.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Support for the Widman family is coming from all over the globe.

A new youtube video created by a 9-1-1 dispatcher from the Lee County Sheriff's Office, is allowing people from anywhere in the world to learn more about Officer Andrew Widman.

A Fort Myers Police Officer, Andrew Widman was killed in the line of duty more than a week ago.

The four minute youtube video is filled with pictures from the funeral and the scene of the crime.

Ashley Greer is the woman who created the video.

It only took her 30 minutes to create the video, but she says if it took longer she still would have done it.

She tells WINK News she created the video for a number of reasons, but most importantly she wants people all over the world to know about Officer Widman's sacrifice.

Ashley also hopes the video reminds millions of people of the danger her colleagues face everyday.

She says, "I want them to sit back and see why did this happen? How can we get these people off the streets? How can these crimes top being committed? Andrew Widman was a father, a son, a brother. He was one person, but he was a lot, to a lot of people."

Susanna Widman, Andrew's widow heard about the youtube video and met with Ashley on Monday.

Ashely says, Susanna is one of the nicest people you'll meet and is so appreciative of the community's support.
