Federal authorities, specifically the U.S. Marshals Service, are intensifying their search for David Allen Bonness, a 53-year-old fugitive who has remained at large for over a decade. Bonness is currently listed among the U.S. Marshals Service’s 15 Most Wanted Fugitives and is wanted in connection with serious criminal charges originating in South Dakota. The primary charges against him include rape of a child and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, with his initial warrant dating back to 2013. Investigators note that Bonness also operates under the aliases David Nuse and Allen Nuse. Due to the nature of the alleged crimes and his history of evading capture, authorities have classified him as armed and dangerous, explicitly warning the public not to approach him under any circumstances. The case stems from an investigation initiated in 2008, when a then-17-year-old victim reported that Bonness had sexually assaulted her over a five-year period. Although Bonness was questioned and provided a DNA sample, he allegedly fled the jurisdiction before a search warrant could be served the following day. To aid in his apprehension, the U.S. Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads directly to his arrest. The public is urged to contact the U.S. Marshals Service or local law enforcement agencies in Rapid City, South Dakota, with any tips or information regarding Bonness’ whereabouts. This ongoing manhunt highlights the persistent efforts of federal and state law enforcement to bring justice to victims of long-standing crimes and to remove dangerous individuals from the community.
