Two men wanted in separate murder cases and a truck driver accused of killing a tow truck worker along Interstate 81 are the newest additions to the Pennsylvania State Police’s “10 Most Wanted” list.
The latest version of the fugitive list — posted on the state police website, displayed in publicly accessed state facilities and featured prominently on PSP social media sites — was released a few weeks ago.
Department spokesman Myles Snyder said three of the fugitives came off the list over the past year.
Jimmy Carlton Henry Jr., wanted in a child rape case in the Lock Haven area, shot himself in West Virginia last July as officers approached to take him into custody.
Two other men, Cerado Cruz-Hernandez and Freddy Calle, both wanted in separate child rape cases in Norristown and Hazleton, respectively, have been found outside of the continental United States.
Snyder said Pennsylvania police are working with the U.S. State Department on provisional arrest warrants for them.
New faces
Taking their place on the list are:
- Daryl Eugene Beckett Jr., wanted in connection with the Oct. 7, 2023 shooting death of man along Interstate 95 in Delaware County.
Investigators identified Ronald Collins, 36, and Beckett, then 35, both of Chester, as suspects in the shooting. Collins was arrested in December 2024.
Police continue to search for Beckett who is considered armed and dangerous.
- Johnny Campos-Coelho, who stands accused of hitting and killing David Duchnik Jr. on Interstate 81 near Clarks Summit in August 2016.
Police charged Campos-Coelho, a truck driver from Framingham, Mass., with homicide by vehicle and other charges about a year after the crash, but have not been able to locate him.
- Eliezer Santana, is wanted in connection with the murder of 18-year-old Rolando Cepeda Jr., who was shot to death at his father’s business in Hazle Township, Luzerne County, on April 14, 2023.
Two other co-defendants are already in custody in that case.
The list is, agency officials say, still one of their most effective ways to accumulate tips from the public on major cases.
How it’s built
Snyder said the agency’s fugitive unit puts a call out to law enforcement agencies across the state to nominate at-large criminal suspects they’ve identified as presenting an enhanced risk to the public.
Those recommendations are then reviewed by that unit and leaders of PSP’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation in what becomes a de facto selection committee.
By definition, inclusion on the list is reserved for known suspects with active warrants charging them with crimes committed in Pennsylvania. From there, winnowing down the list depends on more subjective factors, such as the severity of the offense and how great a threat to the public a subject represents.
Geography is considered in an attempt to make the list as relevant as possible to as many as possible, but there are no hard rules about having representation from every region of the state.
The main point, of course, is to deputize the general public in the search for these suspects.
What if you have information?
All of the fugitives are considered dangerous.
So the best thing for people who think they can help with a tip to do is simply call the PA Crime Stoppers tipline listed on the poster, 800-472-8477, or failing that, to contact their local police department.
The Crime Stoppers program allows tipsters to remain anonymous, and maintains a privately-funded reward program for tips that result in arrests.
