A transgender man from Oregon who was once featured on “America’s Most Wanted” after fleeing from police investigating his roommate’s murder claims he’s innocent.

David French, 48, was charged with murder in the bludgeoning death of 51-year-old Frank Johnson last May. French jumped out of a third-story window in high heels when police forced their way inside the home he shared with Johnson.

Investigators found Johnson’s body inside but they were not able to catch French.
