After 60 years, the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted List still going strong

Posted in Law Enforcement News March 16th, 2010 @ 11:06 am

Back in 1949, a reported asked the FBI to list the top ten of the “toughest guys” they were looking for. The FBI gave the reporter the names and pictures of the most wanted fugitives and now sixty years later, the list continues.

During its 60th year anniversary, the FBI is celebrating this historic occasion with a book that talks about the list and shares pictures of all 494 “Top Ten” Most Wanted fugitives throughout the years.

Most of the fugitives are murderers with Thomas James Holden being the first top ten. He was wanted for killing his wife and her two brothers. Of the 494 fugitives throughout the years, 463 have been captured or located.

The shortest amount of time anyone spent on the list was Billy Austin Bryant in 1969 for two hours. The oldest was 69-year-old James J. Bulger who was added to the list in 1999.

Today, Eduardo Ravelo, Usama Bin Laden, Jason Derek Brown and Joe Luis Saenz are just some of the names on the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted list.
