Donald Eugene Fields II

Donald Eugene Fields II (born July 9, 1964) is an American former fugitive who was added to the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on May 25, 2023. Fields had been 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. On January 25, 2025, Fields was captured in Lady Lake, Florida, following a traffic stop.

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.

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, Fields allegedly received money, motorcycles, vacations, and Christmas presents from Theodore John Sartori Sr. in exchange for access with the minor. Fields is suspected to have committed the same crimes to two other people during the same time period.

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