In my previous two articles I covered UK fugitives wanted from a specific region (North Wales) and who are believed to be hiding in a region (Cyprus), now I want to cover a few extras on the Crimestoppers Most Wanted list who I’ve been able to find information on using OSINT.
Ionut Bodea
Apparently his whereabouts are “not known”. But they add that he is a Romanian national. He couldn’t possibly have gone home, could he?
He’s wanted for high value shoplifting and failing to appear. He was due in court on 09/02/23. Here’s where he was in June 2025:

So suffice it to say, he’s probably in Romania. Or he’s regularly frequenting. All this was found within minutes with google. And a little help from PimEyes, the facial recognition tool. But the hit I got with it could’ve been found with some savvier googling. Romania usually doesn’t extradite its own citizens as it goes against their constitution. There are quite a few Romanians on this list. I suspect that is one of the reasons they are more open about their activities. I would assume the police know what I know, meaning their lack of communication with Crimestoppers, or CS’ unwillingness to update their information means they either intentionally or unintentionally waste the public’s time with misleading and outdated information when they appeal for the public’s help in locating fugitives.

Caine Morse
This one is more accurate — he does appear to be in Dubai.
He’s been wanted since at least February 2023 which is when the news articles first started. He has many Facebook accounts but this is his most current, and the one he posts on. Here he has a photo of himself in a restaurant or bar:

My initial assumption was a hookah bar because of the implement in his hand.
After searching google images for hookah bars in Dubai and not seeing it, I decided to try Google Lens on the trees in the background. My guess was there are only so many establishments in Dubai with a view like that outside — but then I don’t really know Dubai. Anyway, it worked, but there was a far easier way: just googling it. That led me to HuQQabaz.

There are some recognizable features, such as the chairs, the trees in the background and the beams on the ceiling, but I wasn’t satisfied. I wanted better views of the interior, like the black/gold partitions in the photo, and possibly of the hookah. A quick google found the interior decorators who use images of the place in their portfolio.

I also went to YouTube and found a good, short video highlighting the interior which show the same chairs and partitions and same sort of ventilation system.
And finally I was able to find a video that actually features a hookah on their Instagram.
I could keep searching endlessly for the exact spot, but I decide to move on. I’m pretty convinced I have the right place at this point.
The rest of his photos don’t reveal any clues about his exact location, and including it would be stretching. Just some photos of him posing in or near cars. I spent way too long looking at the types of brickwork on driveways in Dubai.
Amjad Hussain
He was arrested in 2020 and breached his bail in 2022, which was when he was last seen. He is a suspect in a large scale Child Sexual Exploitation enquiry, Operation Tourway, In West Yorkshire. Amjad was tried and convicted in his absence to ten years in prison for a non-recent offence of rape of a female over 16.
So this a quick one, all done with PimEyes. I got two hits:

Roxana Paun

They point out she is Romanian but don’t say she has links to there.
Okay. I’m going to make a massive assumption. An unsubstantiated claim. Complete conjecture. Here it goes: I think she’s in Romania. I know it’s just a guess, but I consulted the oracles and had a chat with Mystic Meg — or I just checked Facebook.
Press enter or click to view image in full size
Curtea de Arges is in Romania.
So how do I know this is the right one? Two reasons: One, I got the wrong one before; she has a relative with the same name and also looks (in my opinion) more like the mugshot than ‘Roxi’ does, this meant I didn’t get a reward code when I sent a report, when I realized my mistake and got the correct person, I did. And two, there is enough information from the UK and on Facebook to connect the dots.
Her Crimestoppers page says she has links to Birmingham. I decided to see if she had any businesses by checking Companies House, the national directory of companies.

This news article corroborates the claim that she lived in Birmingham, and that she’s been wanted since at least early 2021. The problem is she was appointed in 2022, well over a year after the article. The article also says she was 31 in 2021, which doesn’t line up with her claimed DOB, although she was born in December. So it’s possible she lied about the year, for whatever reason. It happens.
So where is she now?

So she’s exactly where she says she is, in Curtea de Arges, Romania.
Osama Bakali
The only information on him is that he’s wanted for breaching a court order.
He’s been wanted since at least June 2018, that’s the earliest news I found. He can be found on Facebook by the name Abdellatif Aamimi.
This is the photo I want to focus on:

It’s a crap quality photo, Google Lens was no help, but it has enough to work with. Distinct palm trees. Walkway with a pattern. Some kind of red object in the background. But the walkway is going to be the most important thing. My first thought is either Southern Spain or Northern Africa, places like Morocco or Algeria etc. So I first started googling for promenades with patterns in Spain.
Press enter or click to view image in full size
They look nothing like the photo but it made me feel like I was on the right track.
Scrolling further down led me to Almeria, which looks closer, but still isn’t it.
Press enter or click to view image in full size
So I just started looking for all the different towns along the southern and eastern coast of Spain and looking for their promenades with Google and street view. It took a long time but I finally found it: Castell de Ferro. The image on street view was taken in 2021, so some of the details are different, and are explained by more recent press.
The tourism kiosk was added in 2024. Image from SUR in English.

From Ideal, a Spanish newspaper in Grenada.
There are enough identifiable markers to convince me that this is the right place: the promenade pattern, the walls, the trees, the kiosk — which (I think) is the red structure in the background — and the lamp posts. If the red object in the background is the kiosk then it is a relatively recent photo, as it was added in 2024. My concern with his photos was that they weren’t recent, given the poor quality, but they may actually be.
Stan Valentin-Dumitru
Said to have links to Gravesend and Swanscombe.
So he apparently has connections to Kent and Dartford borough, but his CS page leaves out the fact he’s Romanian, and whaddaya know…

So it’s not looking good for Kent or Dartford. Meanwhile the police and media are putting out things like this in February 2025, when they could’ve checked his Facebook instead.
lol. Notice they didn’t mention he is Romanian.
Finally I want to look at the car park photo again. I used Google Lens on the signs in the background to see if they could help identify the location.
Googling for Italian parking signs also confirms it.
And finally:
Now this doesn’t prove he’s in Italy, just makes it likely that he’s been at some point. The image doesn’t really look contemporary — he looks younger. But his dating profile, like his Facebook profile, says he’s in Harghita, Romania. And whilst it’s possible he’s lying, why would he? I’ve been doing this for almost a year now, and something I’ve found is that a lot of foreign criminals just go home. And when home they don’t feel like they have to hide and lay low. Because why would they? They’re back home and they feel safe. Extradition is messy or non-existent. So when he says he’s in Romania, I’m inclined to believe him.

His LinkedIn. Bosch has a headquarters in Bucharest and a plant in Blaj, Romania.
The problem is his work experience doesn’t really add up with the suspect in the UK.
This is the frustrating thing: Crimestoppers does not consistently say when a fugitive has been wanted since. Nor when they commit the crime. That information omitted can make it hard to discern a timeline when viewing their online content. That information would be valuable to members of the public who want to make sure they actually have information worth sharing.
Now I believe in coincidences, but I don’t trust them. And it would be a hell of a coincidence to have two Raul Tatar’s who are both roughly the same age and are doppelgangers. I mean, doppelgangers are a thing, but one with the same name? From the same country? Same beard pattern? I am 90% certain it is the same person. But mistakes do happen. But I don’t think it’s the wrong guy. So if Raul was in the UK from at least February 2023 to July 2024, according to his LinkedIn he would’ve been a Product Support Engineer at Bosch in Romania. And we know the Raul Tatar on Companies House is the one wanted by police because his middle name, Lucian, is noted:
So, I’m stretching now, but it’s possible he’s lying. People lie about work all the time. They pad CV’s by embellishing work experience, how long they worked somewhere and qualifications — sometimes completely making things up. They may gloss over gaps in their CV and choose not to include survival jobs or even periods of self-employment not relevant to the job they’re applying for, or the career they’re pursuing. I don’t have a LinkedIn either (and I don’t want one), so I can’t see the full profile. Here they are side by side:
What do you think?

Endole, a business intelligence platform reveals when his address was updated:
His address changed in January and his warrant was issued in February.
So where are they getting Norway from? Well when googling his name there are numerous Norwegian business directories listing his new business, Fast Freight Vaduva, registered 2 September 2025.
From Firmalisten.
In another listing it shows his business registered under a different name — ‘Widow’.

Innehaver provides a different address. It is a database of commercial data that apparently is refined and corrected using AI. If that’s the case, maybe this is a new address.
Gulsider, Norways Yellow Pages, also has two addresses for Vaduva (as Widow) — and phone numbers:

Caveat: The top address in Norwegian is Kirkeveien 166E. I also noticed that sometimes the search result has Widow and sometimes Vaduva, I don’t know why. But it’s a name that’s showing up in multiple directories.

So if the authorities know he’s in Norway, and his address and phone number are readily available on the internet, I’m not sure why he’s still wanted.

This is the most recent upload on his account and it was back in June. Whilst he says he’s in Paris, I want to try and confirm it by identifying the church.
I first tried to use Google Lens on the screenshot above to get a bit of the church that’s visible (sometimes it works) but no dice. The image quality wasn’t good enough, Yandex also didn’t bring back anything.
So then I used a tool to split the video into multiple images called Ezgif. But a better quality image didn’t bring back the church I was looking for. It brought back churches, but none that even remotely resembled the one in the image.
The closest I got with Google Lens was here:
After experimenting with different word combinations and queries, this is the one that got me the closest.
The problem is there just isn’t enough church to work with. And Google Lens doesn’t really let you search people anymore — but Yandex does, but not with very good results. In any case, he was in the way and I needed him out of the way. So I looked for an AI person remover and found Pixelcut. From there I created a botch job, which also didn’t get results:
I hoped AI would be able to intuit the rest, but it didn’t.
The tool doesn’t just let you (badly) remove someone, it also can generate something to fill in the gaps. So I tried that, by simply requesting “church”.
Better.
This was enough to get Yandex (not Google) to find the correct church.

I’m convinced this is the right place and given that this is his last known location, I’m going to leave it here. Why did he just stop posting? Who knows, maybe he got arrested in Paris and the Met were never informed. I mean if he’s not a UK citizen, why would they be?
Anyway, that concludes this investigation.
