FBI Top Ten List Disscussion

I think a HUGE part of the problem is AMW's not around anymore. They caught 17 guys off the top 10 list. As great as The Hunt is, it's only on in the summer. Without the resource of tv, it's much harder.

Also, as Pakman stated at one point, they've also simply added guys who are known to be difficult to catch.

There's plenty of viable candidates for the list, I feel what I've designated the "Myloh Mason" spot should be reserved for newer cases, but the problem is they need to capture some of the long-timers to open up space when it comes to adding guys.

Obviously anyone in the violent crimes and murders section would be a candidate, especially those whose crimes were committed 2005 or afterwards.

I also feel like the next addition might be a child crimes fugitive since they haven't added one since Eric Toth. (I can actually see them adding Bruce Sawhill despite his case being over a decade old, they obviously really want to catch him).

Or of course an alleged sex trafficker like LePrinceton Burks or Alfosno Diaz-Juarez.

We shall see.

I should add "Crime Watch Daily" has done segments on Brad Bishop and Jason Brown but they're more of a hybrid news magazine on general crime stories/unsolved true crime show. They're arguably the closest thing to AMW at the moment, but even they aren't exactly the same show. Also, while the show does do decently in syndicated ratings, it doesn't seem to have the same impact as AMW so far and has yet to solve a case. (Not meant to be a criticism, I like the show for what it is and watch it as often as I can and I'm sure they'll solve a case eventually).

I don't think there's ever been a sex trafficker on the list, unless you count Warren Jeffs the polygamist leader who had teen girls marry adults. (That's stretching the definition by my own admission though).

Yeah I think Crime Watch Daily does the funny crime videos just to break the show up, relieve some tension and not make it entirely formulaic, but perhaps they need to be more devoted to just the serious crime to get more stories out there. AMW was a court of last resort but had to turn down victims cases because they could only fit so many crimes on the show. That's a good reason rather than "we can't show your missing daughter's photo for 30 seconds because we want to show a video of a dumb criminal robber accidentally locking himself inside a hardware store instead."

Oh that's interesting. Like I said before, the FBI almost took a year to replace Bin Laden with Eric Toth so I'm just going to patiently wait knowing theoretically they could wait until November to add a new name. However, they've been more frequent in recent years with the additions. Do I think it's going to take until the end of the year? No, but in theory and based on the past it can.

Anyway, while still continuing to discuss potential candidates, as far as wondering when they'll add someone, I'm just going to be sit back and relax and whenever they add a new guy or girl I'll be nicely pleasantly surprised. Even more pleasantly surprised if it happens today but whenever they do it's cool.

I agree with you, it's just in theory it could take until the end of the year. Hopefully it doesn't.

Give him time. I really like the direction the list is going so far. They may be waiting for another capture to clear up even more room. Not to mention, they've been busy with other types of crimes they're trying to get publicity for as well (the Iranian hackers, the disappearance of Robert Levinson in Iran, etc...). It would have been a lot for them to do press alerts on both the Iranian hackers and an FBI top tenner in the same day.

We'll I was wondering any outsiders (Fugitives not wanted by the FBI) being added to the list? Guillermo Madrigal Ballesteros is one outsider fugitive I'd would love to be added one day
