SAN FRANCISCO—On Thursday, July 17, 2025, a South Lake Tahoe’s El Dorado Superior County jury found 53-year-old child sex offender Carl W. Cacconie guilty of six felony counts of committing lewd acts on a child under the age of 14. He would have faced up to 18 years in state prison, but he was freed on $1 million bail by Judge Michael J. McLaughlin.
On August 17, 2025, Cacconie’s GPS ankle monitor stopped working. The last location he was tracked at was in the Sunset District on Taraval Street. On Tuesday, August 19, 2025, after delaying for two days, El Dorado County Probation Office contacted Cacconie to ask about the inactive tracker. He claimed to be charging the monitor, and he was requested to go to a Bay Area Probation Office to have it checked out, but it never got reconnected.
On Friday, August 22, 2025, he was last seen in San Francisco. He was a no-show at his sentencing hearing at the South Lake Tahoe courthouse. A bench warrant was issued for his immediate arrest. On the same day, his family filed a missing person’s report with the San Francisco Police Department, claiming he left a suicide note. Investigators and the El Dorado County District Attorney believe that Cacconie is alive, and evading law enforcement with help from other allies. He remains a fugitive of the law.
Anyone who has information that could lead to the capture of Cacconie is asked to contact the El Dorado Sheriff’s Department or San Francisco Police Department.
