As most of us know, the US Marshals added Virginia double murderer Beacher Hackney to their 15 Most Wanted List on Jul 7, 2011. Hackney was wanted for shooting his two supervisors to death at the Homestead Resort in Bath County, Virginia back in 2009. Hackney's remains were located and identified on Sep 18, 2012 eight miles from the resort.
What I want to know is considering it's highly likely that Hackney killed himself right after the crime, why exactly did the Marshals add him to their list two years after Hackney became a fugitive? There obviously were no credible sightings of Hackney, and he left the keys and the titles to his vehicles presumably for his family, a sign of wanting to commit suicide. Did the Marshals add him solely because they were guessing that he was still alive when considering that workplace killers tend to kill themselves after the crime. What if his remains were never located?
This begs a broader question, whenever a major law enforcement agency adds a fugitive to their Most Wanted list, how much of time have their been recent sightings or credible leads on the fugitive. This is most likely the reason why the FBI never added Jason McVean to the 10 MW List, because most criminals who commit anti-government shooting sprees kill themselves either by themselves or shooting it out with the police. I just feel that the Marshals could have added someone who wouldn't have likely committed suicide to their list and Hackney would have likely resurfaced in the two years before he was added if he was still alive.
Thoughts?
