The case of 19-year-old Albuquerque student Nicholas Garza, who went missing from his Middlebury (Vt.) College campus on Feb. 5 has been featured for some time on the "America's Most Wanted" Web site.

But this weekend two new cases involving fugitives in New Mexico went up on the popular television program's Web site, which gets millions of visitors each week.

Kurt Sohrbeck, the 53-year-old wanted for identity theft in Washington state who is accused of shooting and critically wounding Lincoln County sheriff's Sgt. Robert Shepperd in Ruidoso Downs last week, was scheduled to be featured on the television show itself last Saturday, according to The Associated Press.

Police tell America's Most Wanted that Sohrbeck could be headed for any number of places in the Southwest, but while he has family in New Mexico, he could be headed for Texas. 

Also added to the Web site over the weekend was 17-year-old Oden Gutierrez, who escaped last week from the San Juan County Juvenile Detention Center, where he was being held on charges of murdering an 83-year-old San Juan County man.

Police say Gutierrez, who jumped a fence at the juvenile jail last Tuesday, could be headed for Nevada, where his mother lives, but could be anywhere in the Southwest, according to America's Most Wanted.
