Any fugitive in the violent crimes and murders section should be automatically assumed to be a potential top tenner, I don't think we even have to wonder about that.  The issue here is if a slot opens up, if putting a guy wanted for murder in his 70's that could be dead already is making the exact same mistake as with putting Brad Bishop on the list. Of course, the main difference here is Brad Bishop was added 40 years after the fact, while Eugene Palmer is still from this decade. |

I actually see Eugene Palmer as more of a USMS 15 fugitive since the FBI poster mentions the Marshals are involved in the manhunt.
Also wanted to say that it's about time the New York City field office posts a "JW Tv Show Appropriate Fugitive" to the featured fugitive page.

I’m pretty confident that Palmer will be located either dead or alive. If he’s not in New York he’s gotta be in a surrounding state or his remains are somewhere in that region.
Brad Bishop disappeared more than 4 decades ago and finding him was going to be a long shot even with the Top Ten List.
I think if Palmer gets placed on the Ten Most Wanted, regardless of the outcome, he would be located quick since it could cause a hype if he were added, and if it were to happen, Palmer would break the record currently held by Brad Bishop as the oldest man to be added to the list.
If he’s alive then that’s a plus, but if he’s dead, then it’s all a matter of finding his remains and hopefully get lucky that investigators find them, since it’s only been 6 years since Palmer went on the run.
I would rather prefer an old man from a recent case than an old man from a 4 decade plus case, as I’ve learned my lessons from the Brad Bishop case.

An argument for Eugene Palmer still being alive (at least in the early months;/year of him being on the run) is that an unlawful flight to avoid prosecution warrant was issued in June of 2013, even though he's been wanted since September of 2012.
The may mean one of two things, either there is credible evidence to him fleeing to another state or a tip was convincing enough to get the UFAP warrant signed. This is especially important since the UFAP warrant was signed nine months after Eugene went on the run.
Compare that to the still unresolved manhunt for David Durham. Durham went on the run on January 23, 2011 and an UFAP warrant was issued just six days later.

Durham went on the run on January 23, 2011 and an UFAP warrant was issued just six days later. Also to back that up further, in May 2017 investigators had credible leads on him possibly being in a neighboring state, and his recent addition to the FBI site makes a lot of sense. With all these things, it’d be interesting if they turn this into a high stakes manhunt by placing him on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List in the near future, and he’s more deserving since the case is only 6 years old with plenty of leads. |

Palmer’s reward was increased from $20,000 to $30,000. The Haverstraw Police Department and the U.S. Marshals combined added $10,000 to the FBI’s $20,000 reward. Makes you wonder if they have any big plans such as possibly adding Palmer to the FBI Top 10 List or USMS Top 15 List or both. All these reward increases within a span of a few months is unheard of for a case that’s a few years old. www.wrcr.com/2019/02/22/reward-for-eugene-palmer-grows-to-30000/ |

I would be ok with him being added to the top ten list. It is a different situation from Brad Bishop because although he is also a fugitive pushing 80, he has only been on the run for 7 years as opposed to over 40.

Sorry I think he's over 80 now but nevertheless.

Palmer turned 80 earlier this month (his DOB is April 4, 1939), another plus side to Palmer is that he’s likely still in the U.S. or worse case scenario likely somewhere in Canada not far from the border. Personally I don’t think he left the Northeast however if he were to be placed on the Ten Most Wanted List it obviously makes his world a whole lot smaller.
All these reward increases are leading up to something here and with the Top Ten List getting multiple pieces of praise thanks to the public being vigilant lately, the storm is perfect.
Plus Eugene Palmer is somewhat still unknown despite being aired on The Hunt in 2016, but could be a possible case for In Pursuit season 2.

I think there's been tips on Palmer all over the country and world from reading articles.
I know it's cliche but for some reason I see him in Mexico if still alive. No one would really be suspicious of an old man there if he has a decent enough story. (Came for retirement or whatever).

I’ve gotta say, that’s not a bad theory at all, he could fit in perfectly in Mexico or anywhere for that matter and likely fled there, I think if he were to in fact stayed in the northeast he perhaps would’ve been captured by now. But does he have any known history of traveling overseas? |

Don't know if he has been known to travel overseas but that is a great question. It's not very hard to get a fake passport however. (For us regular citizens maybe but even older criminals always seem to find a way to get them).

I think Palmer could fit in well in Canada living in the wilderness in a province bordering New York State using a fake Canadian identity which is why he’s been able to elude capture for so long. |
