The case of Daytona Beach's serial killer had run cold, but after it was featured on TV's "America's Most Wanted," police received some fresh tips that revived the investigation.
But the show -- billed as a weekly, nationwide criminal manhunt -- has been canceled by Fox, officials said Monday.
It's too expensive, Fox officials told The Associated Press. Instead, the network will air weekly repeats of its prime-time entertainment series. Kevin Reilly of Fox Entertainment, told The Associated Press that there would be just four, two-hour "AMW" specials next season.
While only about 5 million people watched "AMW" this season, program officials were proud of the fact that more than 1,000 fugitives have been arrested worldwide since the show took off in April 1988.

Plans are to do 2-hour specials 3-4 times a year. But remember, it was canceled once before and made it back on, so who knows...
