Thoughts? The Cardenas brothers were two cold case fugitives I found on an archived law enforcement website that I could verify that they were still wanted up until 2010. Since they've been wanted since 1988, I'm pretty certain they're still wanted as of this posting date (5/7/2016). I imagine both of them are still in Mexico at the current time, it doesn't sound like US authorities know where in Mexico the brothers were born since they would likely be in or near their hometown.
