»John Walsh's Dirty Dozen
Cops in South Carolina are conducting a search for a man convicted of sexually abusing his daughter, then turning her into his partner in crime.
Elby Hars' trouble with the law started back in 1982. He was convicted of sexually abusing his daughter, Terri Hars. But even prison bars and handcuffs couldn't keep Hars from getting to his victim. After Elby Hars was released, he reunited with his daughter.
Cops: Abused Girl Finds Other Victims For Her Dad
This time around, police say Hars didn't make his daughter the primary victim. Instead, authorities say the father and daughter teamed up to become partners in crime. Police say Terri Hars became an accomplice by going out and finding young girls for her dad to abuse.
But in February 2000, a 13-year-old girl told police Hars was abusing her. Authorities slapped the ex-con with his second round of sex abuse charges. But that's not all -- Terri Hars faced her own set of charges. She eventually turned herself in, and on December 14 2004, she was convicted of charges including three counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor. She's now doing time in a South Carolina prison.
But Terri's dad didn't follow in her footsteps: he decided to remain on the run, and John Walsh has added him to his Dirty Dozen list -- the nototious group of fugitives he wants to see taken off the streets the most.
