As we are all probably aware, the FBI Ten Most Wanted fugitives tend to get far more media attention then the average wanted fugitive. I decided to list (based on what I could find), the most recent news article for each current Top Ten fugitive. And I mean an actual news article and not a blog post. Victor Manuel Gerena (May 13, 2011): www.deseretnews.com/article/700135113/FBI-down-to-1-fugitive-in-7-million-Conn-Heist.html?pg=allAlexis Flores (Jan 31, 2012): articles.philly.com/2012-01-31/news/31008502_1_birthday-party-birthday-cake-arrest-warrantGlen Stewart Godwin (Oct 28, 2012): www.theunion.com/news/2964384-113/escaped-fbi-folsom-grassSemion Mogilveich (Dec 30, 2012): www.ibtimes.com/worlds-most-powerful-mobster-you-probably-never-heard-980488Fidel "Tonorio" Urbina (Jan 03, 2013): www.elpasotimes.com/ci_22304613/man-fbis-most-wanted-list-may-be-elJason Derek Brown (Mar 24, 2013): The special report on NBC's Dateline.Robert William Fisher (Apr 29, 2013): www.azcentral.com/community/scottsdale/articles/20130409hunt-for-robert-fisher-continues-scottsdale.html?nclick_check=1Jose Guevara (Jun 17, 2013): www.katc.com/news/search-intensifies-for-lake-charles-murder-suspect/Eduardo "Tablas" Ravelo (Aug 26, 2013): www.elpasotimes.com/ci_23940645/ba-gang-leader-juarez-had-50-bodyguards-andThoughts? It is interesting to see media reports on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, although I wish there was more to report on in regards to Flores and Urbina.

I really wish Alexis Flores and Urbina would get more attention as well. I think the problem is sometimes the media doesn't go with who is the worst but who makes the best story. Jason Derek Brown gets a lot of attention because there is a complex background surrounding him and it is an interesting story and narrative that his case has become. (That doesn't mean he's not dangerous and he really does need to get caught). Eric Toth received a lot of attention because in addition to replacing Osama Bin Laden, he was a school teacher in a prestigious private school. Both also don't look like an average criminal (And I don't mean because they're white, they look normal and average)
This is why it's so upsetting we no longer have AMW since they covered everybody.
