Donald Eugene Fields II (born July 9, 1964) is an American fugitive who is currently on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Fields is wanted for the sex trafficking of at least one child between 2013 and 2017 in Missouri. Fields was the 531st fugitive to be placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, being added on May 25, 2023. The FBI is currently offering a $250,000 reward for information leading to Fields' capture and arrest.[1]

Background

Fields was born in Kentucky, on July 9, 1964. At the time of his disappearance, he lived in Union, Missouri in the Greater St. Louis area, where he worked as a tree trimmer and an independent used car dealer.[1][2]

Crimes

Between 2013 and 2017, Fields allegedly participated in a child sex trafficking ring. He is accused of "knowingly attempting to recruit, entice, provide, patronize and solicit a minor into engaging in a commercial sex act." According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Diana Collins, Field allegedly received money, motorcycles, vacations, and Christmas presents from Theodore John Sartori Sr. in exchange for access with the minor.[3] Fields is suspected to have committed the same crimes to two other people during the same time period.[4]

Fields has also been charged with 15 counts related to child sexual abuse and witness tampering in the Missouri Circuit Court system.[2]

Disappearance

Fields and Sartori were indicted on December 7, 2022, with one count of child sex trafficking each.[5] Sartori was arrested later that same month, and plead not guilty.[6] Fields' location has not been known after he failed to appear for a court hearing on March 3, 2022.[3] Fields has family in Missouri and Kentucky, and has traveled to Florida in the past. He is known to visit casinos.[1] Jessica Isgriggs (alias Jessica Fields), a Phelps County fugitive and Fields' suspected romantic partner, is suspected by the Phelps County Prosecuting Attorney of evading law enforcement alongside Fields.[7]

On May 25, 2023, Fields was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, replacing Jose Rodolfo Villarreal-Hernandez.
