Straight answers
Mississippi Most Wanted, questions
Can I see a person's active arrest warrant online?
Sometimes. A few states and large counties publish active-warrant rosters; many do not. Calling the sheriff's non-emergency line (or the issuing court clerk) is the reliable confirmation method.
What should I do if I recognize a wanted fugitive?
Do not approach. Call 911 for immediate sightings, or use the agency's tip line (FBI: tips.fbi.gov; USMS: usmarshals.gov/tips). Reward programs exist for many Top Ten and 15 Most Wanted.
Are 'wanted' lists kept up to date?
Federal lists (FBI, USMS) are updated as cases change. State lists vary, some are near-real-time, others updated weekly. Treat any public list as a starting point, not a legal determination of current status.
Is there a national warrant database for the public?
No. The FBI's NCIC contains wants/warrants but is law-enforcement-only under 28 U.S.C. § 534. Public lists are agency-by-agency.
