About this listen
Ronald Watson had many names—Emily Smith among them—but no fixed address. What he did have, according to federal prosecutors, was a violent streak and a trail of evidence. In July 2020, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in Atlanta went up in flames, leaving more than $78,000 in damages. Investigators say Watson was at the center of it all.
The break in the case came two years later, when DNA from blood found on a lighter fluid bottle at the scene matched Watson after an unrelated arrest in Oregon. Now wanted by the FBI, Watson faces federal charges of arson and destruction of government property. With multiple aliases, ties to both Atlanta and Portland, and a $10,000 reward on his head, he remains on the run.
