The FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list arose from a conversation held in late 1949, during a game of hearts between J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, and William Kinsey Hutchinson,[2] International News Service (the predecessor of the United Press International) Editor-in-Chief, who were discussing ways to promote capture of the FBI's "toughest guys". This discussion turned into a published article, which received so much positive publicity that on March 14, 1950, the FBI officially announced the list to increase law enforcement's ability to capture dangerous fugitives.[3]
Individuals are removed from this list if the fugitive is captured, killed, or if the charges against them are dropped; they are then replaced by a new entry selected by the FBI. In five cases, the FBI removed individuals from the list after deciding that they were no longer a "particularly dangerous menace to society".[2] Victor Manuel Gerena, added to the list in 1984, has been on the list longer than anyone, at Template:Relyear years. Billie Austin Bryant spent the shortest amount of time on the list, being listed for two hours in 1969.[4] On rare occasions, the FBI will add a "Number Eleven" if that individual is extremely dangerous but the Bureau does not feel any of the current ten should be removed.[5]
The list is commonly posted in public places such as post offices. In some cases, fugitives on the list have turned themselves in on becoming aware of their listing. As of November 1, 2009, 494 fugitives have been listed (eight of them women), and 463 (94%) captured or located,[6] 152 (33%) of them due to public assistance.[7] The FBI maintains other lists of individuals, including the Most Wanted Terrorists,[8] along with crime alerts, missing persons, and other fugitive lists. The most recent Ten Most Wanted Fugitive to be captured is Jorge Lopez-Orozco who was captured by authorities in Zihuatanejo, Mexico on October 7, 2009.[9]
Current Most Wanted list
Rewards are offered for information leading to capture of fugitives on the list; the reward is $100,000 unless otherwise stated.

File:Victor Manuel Gerena.jpg | Victor Manuel Gerena | May 14, 1984 | #386 |
Victor Manuel Gerena is wanted in connection with the armed robbery of approximately $7 million from a security company in Template:City-state, in 1983. He allegedly took two security employees hostage at gunpoint and handcuffed, bound, and injected them with an unknown, non-lethal substance to further disable them. The FBI believes he may be living in Cuba. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $1,000,000 for information leading to Gerena's capture.[10][11] | |||
File:Glen Godwin.jpg | Glen Stewart Godwin | December 7, 1996 | #447 |
Glen Stewart Godwin is wanted for his 1987 escape from Folsom State Prison in California, where he was serving a lengthy sentence for murder. He was subsequently imprisoned in Mexico on drug trafficking charges, but escaped from prison after allegedly murdering a fellow inmate.[12][13] | |||
File:Bin Laden Poster2.jpeg | Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden | June 7, 1999 | #456 |
Osama bin Laden[a] is the leader of al-Qaeda and is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States embassies, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. Bin Laden and al-Qaeda is alleged to be responsible for the October 12, 2000, attack on the USS Cole off the coast of Yemen, which killed 17. Although bin Laden later appeared on the first publicly released FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list on October 10, 2001, he was listed there for his alleged role in the 1998 embassy attack, and not for his alleged role in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, because the most wanted lists name fugitives charged with a crime by a prosecutor or under indictment by a grand jury. Bin Laden was named as an "unindicted co-conspirator" in, for instance, the federal indictment against convicted terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, but has not been formally indicted for alleged his role in the September 11, 2001, attacks.
Osama bin Laden is the subject of a $50 million[14] reward through the State Department's Rewards for Justice program targeting international fugitives, especially alleged terrorists, plus $2 million through a program developed and funded by the Air Line Pilots Association and the Air Transport Association.[a][15][16] | |||
