One of America's most wanted men has been spotted in Colorado Springs, according to KKTV.

Dan Hiers, 39, has been spotlighted on "America's Most Wanted" 16 times since he disappeared in 2005.

The U.S. Marshals said Hiers is wanted for the gunshot murder of his wife, and the sexual molestation of a child.

Hiers is a former police officer and is proficient in police tactics and procedures, marshals said. He is also trained in the martial arts and maintains a high level of fitness.

Hiers has stated that he will not go to prison, is possibly suicidal and may force an armed confrontation, the wanted poster for Hiers said.
