A male cross-dressing child sexual predator is on the run from police in Oregon after managing to dodge authorities in neighboring Idaho.
Christian Bert Fischer, 42, is wanted in Florida after he allegedly traveled to meet a child he had met online and convinced them to meet up with him.
Jackson County Sheriff's Office in Oregon detailed how they believed Fischer, who has ties to Southern Oregon, is dressed as a woman and is now on the run after evading capture by the police in Coeur D'alene, Idaho, last week.
Fischer had been on trial in Hernando County, Florida, when he failed to appear in court for the second day of court.
The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) say Fischer fled Florida the same day and that he had condoms, lube, rope, narcotics, and other sexual items on him at the time.
Investigators found he first headed to California then moved up the coast to Portland, Oregon and then onto northern Idaho.
It's believed Fischer has been traveling under fictitious name and is using cash to pay for expenses in order to prevent from using his credit cards giving away his location.
It also appears that he is trying his luck with families in the North Idaho area as he has attempted to befriend a number of people in the region who all have children.
