ATHOL, Idaho — U.S. Marshals Service said on Wednesday that the U.S. Marshals Service Greater Idaho Fugitive Task Force attempted to arrest Christian Bert Fischer, 42, in Athol on an out-of-state warrant.
The U.S. Marshals say that Fischer avoided law enforcement on Kelso Lake Road and his whereabouts are currently unknown.
In January of 2022, Fischer was arrested by the Hernando County Sheriff’s Department in Florida for Traveling to Meet a Minor after 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 run from authorities ever since.
A warrant charging him with Failure to Appear was issued and Fischer was ultimately convicted in absentia for Traveling to Meet a Child. The court in Florida is awaiting his return for formal sentencing.
Fischer is a white male, 5’10”, 200 lbs. with 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 on their website.
