MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Even after 20 years the capture of a U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted fugitive remains a priority for the U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force.
Robert Lee King, 61, is alleged to have murdered his girlfriend Dorothy Smith and attempted to murder her daughter Diana Smith, who was 20 when the crimes were committed Dec. 1, 2005.
On March 3, 2006, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office obtained a warrant for King’s arrest for first-degree murder and criminal attempt first-degree murder.
On May 29, 2009, the USMS added King to its 15 Most Wanted Fugitives List, offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to his capture.
The USMS and the Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force have spent countless hours searching for King, conducting interviews, surveillance, research, and traveling all over the nation to run down leads. Now with the 20th anniversary of Smith’s murder, the USMS wants to remind everyone that the hunt for King is not over.
King is a black man, standing 6 feet 2 inches and weighing approximately 185 pounds. He has black hair, brown eyes and a medium skin tone. He has a tattoo of the word “Robert” on his upper right arm, “Victoria” on the lower part of his right arm and an unknown design on his upper left arm.
