1950

In 1950, the FBI started a list of it’s 10 most wanted individuals. Over the course of the year, there would be a total of 16 people on the list, with the general rule of people only dropping off of the list if they have been captured, they die, or it is determined that they are no longer deemed an overwhelming threat to society.

As of September 7, 2022, there have been a total of 529 fugitives listed. The last one was added after our recording of the “Current Ten Most Wanted”.

On the date that we recorded the Current Ten Most Wanted, Rafael Caro-Quintero had been captured, but there had not been a replacement added yet. As of Today, September 22, 2022, Michael James Pratt has been added.
