Police say "Ella Rickard" never showed up for court and remains on the run. Ramsay Wharton has more on Rickard in this week's Wanted Wednesday case file. June 14, 2001, around noon, a man enters the Kailua Bank of Hawaii to cash what he believes is a valid check for some friends. Police say the man was duped by a then-pregnant Ella Rickard and her boyfriend. "They asked him to do a favor by cashing a check for them. And he agrees, being that he knows them for two years and he doesn't think that they'll do that to him and she's pregnant," Sgt. Kim Buffet. Police says the man questioned the check's validity when Rickard signed it with another name. "How come her name is different on the check? At this time, her boyfriend says that's her real name and that's her uncle on the account. So he's not thinking anything. Ok, could be true." At the bank, the teller discovers the check is stolen and the account closed. The victim tells police, Rickard and her boyfriend are involved and police begin their hunt for the couple. Rickard's boyfriend is arrested hours later in the parking lot of the Kailua Macy's, Rickard is picked up soon after. "While he's being arrested, here comes Rickard walking through and they arrest her." Police say Rickard was released pending trial, but she'd never show. The 30-year-old Rickard is wanted on a 20,000 dollar felony contempt warrant. She's described as a Hawaiian female, 5 feet 5 inches tall. She was pregnant at the time, weighing 182 pounds, but has a naturally slim build with brown hair and brown eyes. Rickard is known to frequent Kailua and the windward side. "You know turn yourself in or anyone who knows her, turn her in, to clear up this situation." A tip leading to Rickard's arrest could put up to a thousand bucks in your pocket. Ella Rickard is our fugitive on the run this Wanted Wednesday. If you know the whereabouts of Ella Rickard, call CrimeStoppers at 955-8300.              |
