Yesterday evening, the U.S. Marshals Service Greater Idaho Fugitive Task Force attempted to arrest fugitive Christian Bert Fischer, 42, in Athol on his out-of-state warrant. However, Fischer effectively eluded law enforcement on Kelso Lake Road and his whereabouts is currently unknown.
In January of 2022, Fischer was arrested by the Hernando County Sheriff’s Department in Florida for traveling to Meet a Minor stemming from using a computer to lure a child for sexual purposes.
Fischer was arrested with condoms, lube, rope, narcotics, and other sexual implements on his person. In February of 2024, Fischer attended his trial while out of custody and on bond. On the second day of the trial, Fischer failed to appear in court and has been on the lam ever since. Subsequently a warrant charging him with Failure to Appear was issued. Fischer was ultimately convicted in absentia for Traveling to Meet a Child, and the court in Florida is awaiting his return for formal sentencing.
Fischer is a white male, 5’10”, 200 lbs., has blonde hair and hazel-colored eyes. Fischer is also known to dress like a woman.
Anyone with information on Fischer’s whereabouts is urged to contact the local USMS office at (208) 518-4024, the USMS Communication Center at 1-800-336-0102, or USMS Tips at www.usmarshals.gov/tips.
