Mickey Dale Snow was long gone by Sept. 25, the day Eden police intended to make him their fourth arrest in a bizarre prostitution case — a mother accused of pimping out her underage daughters to old men.
Snow, 75, already had left the country by then, arriving first in South Korea before landing in Thailand, his destination.
He was there with his Thai-born wife on Oct. 5, when a Rockingham County grand jury indicted him on six counts each of having sex with a child and patronizing a prostitute.
Five days later, he was moving again.
In an arrest warrant filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Greensboro, the FBI paints a picture of Snow as a man of considerable means, crisscrossing the globe to elude arrest.
According to the five-page document, Snow fled to Amsterdam and then to Panama, where he was denied entry into Costa Rica. Panamanian police, noting the sex crime charges some 2,000 miles away in Rockingham County, sent him back through the Netherlands to Thailand.
Snow sold properties and drained accounts, the warrant says, “to travel, to remain abroad and to avoid returning to the United States for a considerable amount of time.”
On Sept. 25, only the Eden Police Department sought his arrest.
Less than a month later, he’s being pursued by the FBI, the U.S. State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the Royal Thai Police. Snow is charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, a federal crime, and will be deported the moment he’s caught.
