I am also adding Richard Sanchez to my list of contenders along with Rex Reichert.

It would only make sense for Sanchez to replace Mederos considering they're part of the same case in my opinion. Now that Santiago "Pucho, Stretch" Villalba-Mederos and Andres Maurice Mendez have been captured in passably quick succession, the FBI is ready to roll on Richard Charles Sanchez. Two questions, however: *I know the US Marshals are still adding to their 15 Most Wanted list despite the pandemic, which is doubly unexpected when you consider how much of a standstill they were stuck in through almost all of '017 and most of '018. However, what are the chances the FBI won't add to their list? *I know 2 fugitives have been added to the list simultaneously for the same crimes, like Claude Daniel Marks and Donna Jean Wilmott, or Abdelbaset El-Megrasi and his co-conspirator in the Trans Am flight bombing, but have they ever added 2 fugitives for the same case separately? There have been a few cases I know of where 2 fugitives wanted for the same crimes have been added separately, although I don't think any with a time gap as significant: #28 George Heroux & #30 Gerhard Puff Both wanted in connection for a 1951 bank robbery, Heroux was added in December of that year and Puff in January of 1952. Interestingly Heroux's arrest in June 1952 generated information that led directly to Puff's arrest the following day. Puff shot and killed an FBI special agent while in the process of being apprehended. #167 Bobby Wilcoxson & #168 Albert Nussbaum A bank robbery team, who employed some very innovative tactics, Wilcoxson was added in February 1962, and Nussbaum almost 2 months later. They were arrested separately 6 days apart in November that year. #292 Gary Krist & #293 Ruth Eismann-Schier Krist was a special addition to the list on 20th December 1968, wanted in connection with the kidnapping for ransom of heiress Barbara Mackle. He was captured in the process of collecting the $500,000 ransom 2 days later. 6 days after his capture Krist's partner Schier became the first woman added to the list. As a footnote, upon his release from prison Krist became a physician before being convicted of trafficking illegal aliens in 2006(!) There are also a few cases where 2 people have been added for connected crimes: #11 Willie Sutton & #12 Frederick Tenuto "Slick" Willie Sutton was one of America's most notorious bankrobbers when he was added to the list in 1951, famous for telling journalists that he robbed banks "because that's where the money is". Upon his arrest, one of the citizens who tipped off the police, Albert Schuster, gave an interview to the press explaining his part in Sutton's apprehension. This interview enraged New York mob boss Albert Anastasia, who enlisted mob hitman Frederick "The Angel of Death" Tenuto to eliminate Schuster, an act which led to Tenuto's addition to the list. Tenuto was never apprehended, and is believed to have been killed and disposed of by mafia associates. #318 Herman Bell & #319 Twymon Ford Myers Both members of the Black Liberation Army, Bell and Myers were added separately 4 months apart in 1973. Myers was wanted in connection with bank robbery, but was also a suspect in the double murder of 2 NYPD police officers, as part of a BLA campaign against the police that also saw shootings in LA, Atlanta and San Francisco. Bell for his part was wanted for a separate double murder of 2 other NYPD officers, which was viewed as part of the same campaign. Myers was killed in a shootout with police later that year, while Bell, who was captured 3 days before he was officially added to the list was paroled in 2018 in spite of protests from police advocacy groups and New York mayor Bill de Blasio. #350 Raymond Levasseur & #378 Thomas Manning The 2 Vietnam veterans were both members of the small communist terror group the United Freedom Front. Levasseur was added to the list in 1977 in connection with the group's bombing and bank robbery activities. He remained there until 1984, when he was arrested in Ohio as part of the police investigation into Manning. Already wanted by the FBI on similar charges to Levasseur, Manning was added to the list in 1982, for the murder of a New Jersey police officer the previous year. He was arrested in 1985. Levasseur was paroled in 2004, while Manning died in prison in 2019. #396 Richard Scutari & #414 Louis Ray Beam 2 white supremacists terrorists of very different types, Scutari was a member of the Order, an extremist terror group who commited bank robberies, bombings and murders, while Beam was an ideologue who advocated for his followers to form small terror cells or commit lone wolf type attacks. Scutari spent 6 months on the list from 1985 through 1986, while Beam spent 4 months on the list in 1987. Both men were among a group of 14 tried and acquitted for Seditious Conspiracy to Overthrow the Government of the United States, in the famous 1988 Fort Smith Trial. Beam walked free to continue spreading hate, while Scutari remains incarcerated in a Supermax prison for his crimes as part of the Order. There are probably other examples, but these are the ones that spring to mind

Question: I noticed Octaviano Juarez-Corro’s case was moved to the top of the list on the FBI’s website. Anyone think it’s a sign they will add him to the list? Additionally, there are now age-enhanced photos, as well, which leads me to suspect he may be added.

Additionally, there are now age-enhanced photos, as well, which leads me to suspect he may be added. I don’t think they’ll add Juárez-Corro for the simple reason that because of the pandemic, they’ll prefer to add a U.S. born Hispanic fugitive believed to be hiding out of the country only because extradition won’t be an issue. If you’ve noticed in the last 4 years all of the Hispanic fugitives added after Robert Van Wisse have been U.S. born or were known to live in the United States (Walter Yovany Gómez). (I know Rafael Caro-Quintero is the only foreign born Hispanic fugitive alongside Alexis Flores, but RCQ committed a crime in Mexico and is an alleged leader of a national cartel.

I think maddog brings up a great point though since it does seem like they're going through the prerequisites to add a cold-ish case to the list.
Fugitives are still being caught and extradited from Mexico so that shouldn't be an issue.
He'd be occupying one of two slots so it makes perfect sense for one slot to be a more recent and theoretically catchable fugitive and the other to be a riskier fugitive addition

Although I doubt the FBI looks at the classification of a particular homicide suspect (I.e. multiple murderer, law-enforcement murderer), if they do, one thing worth noting is how many family/domestic violence suspects they have on the list right now:
1) Fisher 2) Palmer 3) Patel 4) Jimenez.
Before his arrest, Said would have fallen under that classification. Thus, I am wondering if they will be looking at adding someone who is accused of a murder and doesn’t necessarily fall within the classification of family violence or domestic violence homicides.

I think Juárez-Corro’s time to be added to the list has come because he has been long overdue, just made the point of the FBI putting more emphasis on U.S. born Hispanic as they can simply be deported, but I know they’ll extradite Juárez-Corro despite having to wait a few months to a year before he’s back on American soil.
Also it’s a case from 2006 so they can take the gamble with him as Yaser is out of the way, and adding it’s a very dangerous and awful individual.

Just wanted to also mention that normally I think it's risky to predict non-murder fugitives based on how the list has usually trended in the past decade but I agree with others in that Michael James Pratt actually has a "Greg Carlson" feel to the case in my opinion.

I fully agree. I would like to add Pratt to my list of contenders. My reasoning is that he could be anywhere in the world, and a spot on the list could finally point where he is. Plus, his crimes were just flat-out disgusting.
I wanted to ask: Does anyone think Vernon Ray Henry is another possible contender? The FBI has added people to the list before due to a lack of leads (Stanley Faison being one). He's wanted for a violent double homicide, and assuming he is still associating with anti-government groups, he could very well be a danger to this day.

I feel the odds would be better if there were actually were leads as opposed to a lack of leads. Often there's something encouraging for them to add a cold case. I think even Brad Bishop they were inspired to add him because it coincided with The Hunt's research in prepping for an episode about him.

I have wondered about this: I was reading an article on the 30th anniversary of the Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre (I am not trying to draw attention to my post under that, but I did outline the updates if anyone is unaware of them). The lead detective STRONGLY implied they have primary suspects in that case, and their names have popped up again (they are doing an external review, however, and so they are essentially starting over). LCPD acknowledged they have fingerprints and shoeprints in this case that they suspect, but have not proven belong to the killers. Assuming suspects are identified and warrants are issued, do you guys think they are sure to likely land on the list?

This is a very hypothetical scenario so it's hard to say. Plus we don't know if these suspects are located or would be considered fugitives or not.

Adding Dennis Cunningham to my possible contenders list. Convicted felon wanted for murder. I would also ask: did anyone notice the addition of two photographs? Including one of him in black and white (which, sometimes is the same colored photograph in FBI Top Tenner photos, I.e. Fisher and Flores)?

Didn't notice it before but good catch as it could be a sign.

Didn't notice it before but good catch as it could be a sign. Yep. Forgot to mention, they also listed him on Twitter yesterday.
