Case Story |
|
| |
A Heartfelt Letter, A Desperate Phone Call |
|
| |
I'm writing because I hope you can help me. There's this guy who has rape charges on him ... But the reason why I want him found is because the person he raped was me.
It started with a letter to America's Most Wanted from 16-year-old Amber Fish. It started all over ten years later, when Amber -- now a grown woman -- picked up the phone and reached out to AMW again. In both cases, Amber wanted help to find a man named Guillermo Ramirez.
Ramirez is a Yale-educated immigrant from the Philippines. He is intelligent, charming, and persuasive -- and police say he's a monster. Because Guillermo "Willie" Ramirez is a convicted child molestor, and many years ago Amber was his victim.
I was raped when I was 5 years old till I was 11 years old. I didn't tell anyone when he did that because he scared me. |

A Pattern of Abuse |
|
| |
From the outside, they looked like any other happy family in Norfolk, Va. Guillermo Ramirez lived with his girlfriend, Kim Fish, and her young daughter, Amber. Ramirez seemed to dote on Amber, taking her to the movies and out for ice cream.
But that was the public face of their relationship. What happened behind closed doors was absolutely criminal.
One day, when Amber was just 5 years old, her mother left to play bingo, and Ramirez made his move. He molested Amber, and this was the beginning of years of torment that Ramirez inflicted on her.
Week after week, Ramirez continued to molest Amber. As Ramirez's abuse continued, he warned her that if she told anyone what was happening, he would kill her. To reinforce his threat, police say he would keep a small gun or a knife nearby.
Finally, when Amber was 11, she went off to live with her father, and that's when she finally had the chance to tell someone what had been happening to her.
Ramirez Escapes The Long Arm Of The Law
Police arrested Ramirez in 1992, but authorities say he was allowed out on on bond and made a run for it. Two and a half years later, the law caught up to him, and this time he was forced to answer for his crimes.
In May 1996, Ramirez faced charges for molesting Amber, but shortly after his trial started he pleaded guilty. Prosecutors say they requested that his bond be revoked, but the judge allowed Ramirez to go free. Police say that true to form, Ramirez took off.
With Ramirez a free man once again, 16-year-old Amber wrote a letter to America's Most Wanted asking for help. In 1997, AMW broadcast her story and showed the face of Guillermo Ramirez to the world. But despite the publicity, Ramirez managed to stay beneath the radar.
For years after that, Amber says she lived in fear, waiting for Ramirez to get caught. Finally, Amber got tired of waiting and used her contacts at AMW to find out what was going on with her case.
She soon discovered that not only was Ramirez still on the run, but the outstanding charges against him had been dropped in a routine purging of old cases. Prosecutors say they hadn't meant to let Ramirez off the hook, and immediately made sure the charges were reinstated. |

Justice For Amber |
|

It hurts real bad because there's so much pain. I really hope you can help me because I have no one else to turn to. If you can't help would you please tell us how we can get him caught?
It's been 10 years since Amber first wrote those words to AMW, but they are just as true as ever. For Amber, there will be no peace until Ramirez is behind bars.
Despite the pain she's endured, Amber is trying to rebuild her life. She's engaged to be married and is looking to the future instead of the past. "Life has been a roller coaster," she said recently, but she's hoping that this crazy ride will end with the capture of Guillermo Ramirez.
I want him to pay for what he has done to me and so he can't do it to any other little kid. If there was someone else, I want them to be able to live in peace even though the pain will still be there. I want to be able to live in peace too. |
