WANTED BY DOC IN SNOHOMISH COUNTY --
Saying he'd give up money, drugs -- even his wife and kids to have sex with a 15-year old girl: That's what Department of Corrections officers tell us Floydale Eckles said to the teen before sexually assaulting her.

He was convicted of child molestation for it in 1993, then for a second child molestation bust three years later and convicted in 2010 for peeping into a teen girl's bedroom window who he'd been trying to prey on.

Now, he's wanted in Snohomish County for failing to register as a sex offender, but DOC officers think he could be hiding in Kitsap County.
