WEST MICHIGAN - The U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force is looking for your help as they work to track down a pair of parole absconders, one wanted for months now, the other, more than a decade.
34-year-old Eddie Jay Nikkel is wanted out of the Grand Rapids area after violating his parole in November 2014.
His criminal record includes past convictions for criminal sexual conduct, check fraud, and auto theft.
Nikkel is 5'11", 174 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He also goes by the name 'Ed Nikkel', and has several scars on his knees, along with tattoos on his center right firearm, and a tattoo that says "Thug Life" on his upper left back.
37-year-old Esteban Olivarez III has managed to avoid authorities for more than 12 years after violating conditions of his parole in January of 2002.
His record includes a past conviction for 2nd degree Home Invasion which he served prison time for out of Allegan County, which took place in 1995.
