Delaware State Police are reaching out to the community for assistance in tracking down multiple registered sex offenders who have either disappeared from their registered locations or are living without permanent housing.
The Sex Offender Apprehension and Registration Unit, known as SOAR, has published public alerts for two distinct groups of individuals requiring different types of monitoring.
Missing Offenders Being Actively Sought
Seven registered sex offenders are currently being pursued by authorities after failing to comply with address registration requirements or update their location information as mandated by law.
The wanted individuals include Luis Burgos, Charles Fulton, Tori Lied, John Martz, Mollie Anne Schonwit, Roy Stevens, and Michael Viscount.
Anyone with knowledge of where these individuals might be located should immediately contact authorities at (302) 739-5882. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Delaware Crime Stoppers by calling (800) 847-3333.
Homeless Offender Notifications
Additionally, SOAR has identified five registered sex offenders who are currently without permanent housing but are not considered fugitives from registration requirements.
These individuals – Quentrae Carroll, William Hammons, Kennie McGhee, Eric Riffel, and Moises Torres-Paddilla – have recently reported their homeless status to authorities as required.
If community members have information indicating any of these individuals have moved into permanent housing, they should notify police using the same contact numbers.
State Police emphasize that the individuals featured in this alert represent only a partial list of both wanted and homeless registered sex offenders currently being monitored. Complete information about all registered sex offenders in Delaware can be accessed through the official Delaware Sex Offender Registry website.
Detailed profiles for each individual, including photographs and offense information, are available by clicking through the registry database.
