FBI 10 Most Wanted

10 GLEN STEWART GODWIN      $100,000

Glen Stewart Godwin (born June 26, 1958) is a fugitive and convicted murderer who was added to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on December 7, 1996, nine years after he escaped from Folsom State Prison in Folsom, California where he was serving a 26-years-to-life sentence. 

In 1980, Godwin was living in Palm Springs, California, working as a self-employed tool salesman and had no known criminal past.

On August 3, 1980, some Eagle Mountain residents found a blown-up pickup truck with remains of a human body inside of it abandoned in desert. The explosion was intended to disguise the murder of LeValley.

Godwin and his roommate, Frank Soto, Jr., planned to rob a drug dealer and pilot Kim Robert LeValley, who was once a friend of theirs. Godwin and Soto lured LeValley back to their condominium where Soto held him, Godwin punched and kicked him, tried to strangle him, then ultimately stabbed LeValley thirty-six times with his butcher knife. After the murder, Godwin and Soto loaded the body into a truck and set off for the desert. Godwin tried to blow up the evidence by using homemade explosives strapped to the body. Later, police identified the body and charged Godwin with first-degree murder. Although Soto testified against Godwin, Soto was sentenced to twenty-five years to life in prison for the murder in 1982. Godwin was sentenced for the murder and robbery to 26 years to life in prison in 1983.

In 1987, Godwin attempted to escape during his incarceration at Deuel Vocational Institute in California, and he was moved to Folsom State Prison, a maximum-security prison. Authorities believe Godwin's wife Shelly Rose Godwin and his former cellmate in Deuel, Lorenz Karlic, helped to plan his escape.

In June 1987, Karlic was arrested in Hesperia, California, and convicted for aiding Godwin's escape.

In January 1988, Shelly Godwin was classified as a federal fugitive for her role in her husband's escape. She was captured by the FBI in Dallas, Texas, on February 7, 1990.

Godwin fled to Mexico, where he began to sell cocaine, unsuccessfully. He was arrested in Puerto Vallarta, later convicted for drug trafficking in Guadalajara, Mexico, and sentenced to seven years and six months in Puente Grande prison in 1991. While American authorities were working on Godwin's extradition proceedings, he allegedly killed a member of a Mexican drug cartel in prison. The new murder allegation delayed his extradition long enough for Godwin to execute another escape, which occurred in September 1991.

He was reportedly seen once in California in 1997, but managed to elude the FBI, which had placed him on its Most Wanted List of fugitives the year before.

Godwin is currently believed to be involved in the illicit drug trade somewhere in Latin America, having possibly used aliases such as Dennis Harold McWilliams, Nigel Lopez and Miguel Carrera. He is considered to be armed and extremely dangerous, and an obvious flight risk. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to Godwin's capture.

9 ROBERT WILLIAM FISHER     $100,000

Robert William "Bobby" Fisher, Sr. (born April 13, 1961 (age 49)) is an American fugitive wanted for murder of his wife and their two children in Scottsdale, Arizona on April 10, 2001. He was named by the FBI as the 475th fugitive to be placed on the list of FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives on June 29, 2002.

Robert Fisher, a Navy veteran, married Mary Cooper in 1987. Fisher has worked as a surgical catheter technician, respiratory therapist and firefighter, and is an avid outdoorsman, hunter, and fisherman. Fisher was described as a cruel and distant control freak of a father who was awkward with his children, but tried to hold on to an image as a devoted family man. His mother-in-law, Ginny Cooper, told investigators that "Fisher didn't socialize often with family because of a fear of getting too close to people and losing them."

Fisher's mother told investigators that she had been a "yes-sir" wife who didn't stand up to her husband. She added that she saw similar dynamics early in her son's marriage to Mary, and had talked to her daughter-in-law about her concerns. One close friend of Robert Fisher stated that his family resembled Fisher's childhood family.

On the morning of April 10, 2001, Mary Fisher was shot in the back of the head and her children's throats were slashed from ear to ear in the hours before their home exploded.

Firefighters were immediately alerted due to a natural gas explosion and fire in a Scottsdale house. The explosion ripped through the ranch-style house in the 2000 block of North 74th Place at 8:42 a.m. The blast appeared to be centered in the living room, and the subsequent fire burned the house into rubble. The initial explosion was strong enough to collapse the front brick wall and rattle the frames of neighboring houses for a half-mile in all directions.

Rural/Metro Fire Department firefighters were on the scene within minutes and kept the 20-foot-high blaze from spreading to neighboring houses. A series of smaller secondary explosions, believed to be either rifle ammunition or paint cans going up, forced firefighters to keep their distance. One firefighter suffered minor injuries to his leg when he lost his balance and fell near the burning house.

Evidence of the homicide had allegedly been tried to be concealed by pulling out the gas line from the back of the home's furnace. The accumulating gas was later ignited by an ignition source, possibly the pilot light on the water heater. Burned bodies of a woman and two children were found lying in bed in the remains of the house. The victims were identified as Mary Fisher (aged 38), and her two children, Brittney Fisher (aged 12) and Robert "Bobby" William Fisher, Jr. (aged 10). Investigators have considered that Robert Fisher murdered his family because he felt threatened with his wife's intent to divorce. 

Fisher is considered armed and extremely dangerous and has ties to Florida and New Mexico. He has been speculated to have committed suicide or started a new life under an assumed identity. Fisher has been described as a loner and is thought to live alone in an isolated area.

8 ALEXIS FLORES       $100,000

Alexis Flores (born July 18, 1975) is a Honduran fugitive wanted for the kidnapping, rape, and murder of five-year-old Iriana DeJesus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2000. Flores is the 487th fugitive to be placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.

Flores was born in Honduras in 1975, although has used dates of birth ranging from 1975 to 1982. Flores has claimed he received a large surgical scar on his neck as a result of an injury sustained in a Hurricane Mitch in Honduras in 1998.

In summer of 2000, "Carlo" or "Carlos", an itinerant homeless drifter was looking for work and a place to stay in Hunting Park, Philadelphia. He was given a shelter, clothing, and work as a handyman by local resident Jorge Contreras.

A five-year-old Iriana DeJesus was reported missing on July 29, and her body was found on August 3 in an empty apartment building where "Carlos" is believed to have lived. The body was in the basement strangled and sexually assaulted, wrapped in a trash bag. A t-shirt bearing a distinct political logo was found near DeJesus' body with her blood on it. When police questioned Contreras about the shirt, he recognized it as one of the articles of clothing he had lent to Carlos, who was not seen in the area since the girl was reported missing. "Carlos" was wanted for questioning and a sketch of him was profiled on America's Most Wanted.

In 2002, an illegal immigrant named Alexis Flores was arrested for shoplifting in Arizona. Two years later, neighbors called police over a noise complaint at an apartment. After giving fraudulent identity documents to police, Flores was arrested for possession of a forgery device, a felony in Arizona. He had a welcoming demeanor towards authorities at the time of his arrest. When authorities searched the apartment, it was stocked with Kool-Aid and pornography was spread out on the floor. Flores told immigration officials that he had lived in Schaumburg, Illinois prior to living in Phoenix. He was deported to Honduras after his release in June 2005.

7 JASON DEREK BROWN       $100,000

Jason Derek Brown (born July 1, 1969) is an American fugitive wanted for first degree murder and armed robbery in Phoenix, Arizona on November 29, 2004. On December 8, 2007 he was named by the FBI as the 489th fugitive to be placed on the Ten Most Wanted list.

Brown was born in California in 1969 to David John Brown, Sr. He attended Laguna Beach High School. Additionally, Brown speaks fluent French and has a master's degree in International business.

On November 29, 2004, Robert Keith Palomares, a 24-year-old security guard, was carrying the weekend deposits outside of the AMC Ahwatukee 24 movie theater at 4915 E. Ray Road in Phoenix, Arizona. At approximately 10:00 a.m., a hooded gunman ambushed and shot Palomares execution-style with a .45-caliber semiautomatic Glock. Five out of six bullets struck him in the head. Palomeros was armed, but did not have a chance to defend himself. While the victim died at the scene, the hooded gunman took a bag of money containing $56,000 in cash and fled into a nearby alley with it, leaving a bicycle behind. Palomares was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Witnesses initially described the shooter as a 25-to-30-year-old Hispanic man. Authorities recovered the bicycle and fingerprints subsequently linked Jason Derek Brown to the murder. Brown was soon considered a prime suspect in the case[9] and an Arizona state arrest warrant was issued by Maricopa County Superior Court charging Brown with first degree murder and armed robbery on December 4. Brown was additionally charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution in a federal arrest warrant, issued by the United States District Court for the District of Arizona on December 6.

Investigators have considered that a possible motive for Brown to commit these crimes could have been his worsening financial situation.

On December 8, 2007, Jason Derek Brown was named by the FBI as the 489th fugitive to be placed on the Ten Most Wanted list. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to his capture.

The most recent confirmed sighting was in August 2008, when an acquaintance of Brown recognized him while they were stopped at a traffic light near Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City. Drivers' mutual recognition caused Brown to drive through the stoplight. Aware he was a fugitive, the witness informed authorities of the sighting. According to him, Brown had longer hair and a deeper tan than in the 2004 photograph of his wanted poster. Brown is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

6 JOE LUIS SAENZ      $100,000

Jose Luis "Joe" Saenz (born August 4, 1975), is an American fugitive and gang member wanted for four murders, kidnapping, rape, parole violation and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. On October 19, 2009 he was named by the FBI as the 492nd fugitive to be placed on the list of FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.

Saenz was born on August 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, to a Maravilla gang member father and a mother who had substance abuse problems. He was their only child. He lived most of childhood with his grandmother in a small backyard bungalow on Ferris Avenue. He spent much of his time with his cousins at Pico-Aliso housing projects.

Saenz attended high school in Los Angeles Unified School District, but dropped out. Before the murders in 1998, Saenz family had been evicted for unspecified violation.

1998: Double murder in Aliso Village

1998: Kidnapping, rape and murder

2008: Murder of Oscar Torres

Additionally, Saenz is a suspect in a homicide that happened in early 1997. Although there are rumours linking Jose Saenz to a kidnapping of a woman in Los Angeles and to the death of drug trafficker Bogart Bello for a failed drug deal in 2008, he has never been charged for those crimes.

Saenz was added to the list of FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives on October 19, 2009, replacing another Los Angeles gang member Emigdio Preciado, Jr.. He is believed to be living in Mexico, possibly working as an enforcer for a drug cartel and traveling across the Mexico – United States border using numerous aliases as well as legitimate identity documents obtained fraudulently. Saenz is considered armed and extremely dangerous, and he "vowed to kill police officers if they try to arrest him" in 1998. FBI offers a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to his capture.

5 SEMION MOGILEVICH       $100,000

Semion Yudkovich Mogilevich * born June 30, 1946 in Kiev, Ukraine) is a Ukrainian-born organized crime boss, believed by European and United States federal law enforcement agencies to be the "boss of bosses" of most Russian Mafia syndicates in the world.

Mogilevich's nicknames include "Don Semyon", and "The Brainy Don" (because of his business acumen ). He is believed to control a vast criminal empire and has been called "the most dangerous mobster in the world".

He allegedly controls RosUkrEnergo, a company currently actively involved in Russia–Ukraine gas disputes He is based in Moscow, Russia. He is believed to have ordered many assassinations of his enemies.

Semion Mogilevich is wanted for his alleged participation in a multi-million dollar scheme to defraud thousands of investors in the stock of a public company incorporated in Canada, but headquartered in Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, between 1993 and 1998. The scheme to defraud collapsed in 1998, after thousands of investors lost in excess of 150 million U.S. dollars, and Mogilevich, thought to have allegedly funded and authorized the scheme, was indicted in April of 2003.

Mogilevich was arrested in Moscow on January 24, 2008, for suspected tax evasion. He was released on July 24, 2009. On his release, the Russian interior ministry stated that the charges against him "are not of a particularly grave nature."

4 VICTOR MANUEL GERENA      $1 million

Victor Manuel Gerena (born June 24, 1958) is an American wanted by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation for the armed robbery of a Wells Fargo armored car facility, in connection with the Los Macheteros group. On May 14, 1984, he became the 386th fugitive to be placed on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. He is still at large, and has spent the longest time on the list since its inception in 1950 (having surpassed Donald Eugene Webb on April 11, 2010). Gerena is believed to have lived in Cuba where his exact whereabouts and fate are unknown.

Gerena and his family, consisting of his mother, four brothers and one sister, moved to Hartford, Connecticut from Puerto Rico when Gerena was very young. He enjoyed wrestling, winning many tournaments; he also played American football. He was a good student, serving on the student council and was recommended to Trinity College.

Gerena met Marion Delaney, then a clerk for the U.S. House of Representatives, who became his friend and tutor. Delaney inspired Gerena to attend her alma mater, the Annhurst College, a female-only college that had faced harsh economic times and was by then accepting male students. There were 200 women at Annhurst and only 25 men. Gerena was met with hostility by the college staff. Gerena returned home and began a relationship with an old friend that produced one daughter.

Gerena then became a security guard at a Wells Fargo armored car depot in West Hartford, Connecticut, the same facility he would later help rob.

In Puerto Rico, Machetero leaders Filiberto Ojeda Rios and Juan Segarra Palmer had heard of Gerena; Gerena's mother's background as a pro-independence advocate and his dislike of life in the army made him, in Ojeda Rios' and Segarra Palmer's eyes, a candidate to become a member of Los Macheteros. They flew to Hartford and convinced Gerena to help them with their cause by participating in the heist.

According to law enforcement authorities, on September 12, 1983, Gerena dropped off his girlfriend at City Hall, where she was to get a marriage license for the couple. He then went to his place of employment and spent the rest of the day with co-workers James McKeon and Timothy Girard. At some point Gerena then removed McKeon's gun, handcuffed and tied up his two co-workers, and injected them with an unknown substance in order to further disable them. He put seven million dollars in the trunk of a car, then left with the money. At an unknown point, Gerena transferred to another vehicle and disappeared.

According to FBI investigations, Gerena was transported to Mexico, where he boarded a Cubana de Aviación jet at Mexico City International Airport in Mexico City, arriving at José Martí International Airport in Havana. Years later, a Gerena relative[citation needed] would accompany journalist Edmund Mahoney to Cuba to try to find his whereabouts, but they did not succeed in finding him. Mahoney published a story in 1999 named Chasing Gerena.

3 JAMES J. BULGER     $2,000,000

James Joseph Bulger, Jr. (born September 3, 1929, Dorchester, Massachusetts) — known as "Whitey" Bulger — is a fugitive and alleged leader of the Winter Hill Gang, an Irish-American crime family based in Boston, Massachusetts. He is the older brother of William Michael Bulger, a former President of the Massachusetts State Senate and the University of Massachusetts.

On August 19, 1999, Bulger became the 458th person added to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. He is currently wanted for racketeering (under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)), murder, conspiracy to commit murder, extortion, conspiracy to commit extortion, money laundering, conspiracy to commit money laundering and narcotics distribution. In October 2007, Interpol released a "red notice" for Bulger.

On returning to Boston, Bulger soon resumed his criminal activities. In 1952, he was involved in the hijacking of a liquor truck. By 1955, he had joined a crew that robbed a string of banks in Rhode Island and Indiana. In January 1956, a federal warrant was issued for his arrest. Bulger then went on the run, was arrested in March 1956 and sentenced to 25 years in prison in June of that year.Bulger was first in federal custody at Atlanta Penitentiary (1956–59) for armed robbery and hijacking. There, according to Kevin Weeks, he was involved in the MK-ULTRA program, the goal of which was to research mind-control drugs for the Central Intelligence Agency, headed by CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb. For eighteen months, Bulger and eighteen other inmates who had volunteered to lessen their sentences were given LSD and other drugs. As a result of the experiments, Bulger is said to have suffered from frequent insomnia and nightmares.

After his release, Bulger worked as a janitor prior to becoming an enforcer for Donald Killeen, the boss of the dominant crime family in South Boston. In 1971, Donald Killeen's younger brother bit off the nose of Michael Dwyer, a member of the rival Mullen Gang. A gangland war soon resulted, leading to a string of slayings throughout Boston and the surrounding suburbs.

Bulger, Weeks, and Flemmi became heavily involved in narcotics trafficking in the early 1980s. Bulger began to summon drug dealers from in and around Boston to his headquarters. Flanked by Kevin Weeks and Flemmi, he would inform each dealer that he had been offered a substantial sum to assassinate them. He would then demand a large cash payment not to do so.

In April 1994, a joint task force of the DEA, the Massachusetts State Police, and the Boston Police Department launched a probe of Bulger's gambling operations. The FBI, by this time considered compromised, was not informed. After a number of bookmakers agreed to testify to having paid protection money to Bulger, a Federal case was built against him under the RICO Act.

2 EDUARDO RAVELO      $100,000

Eduardo "Tablas" Ravelo (born October 13, 1968) is a Mexican American leader of a violent street and prison gang Barrio Aztecas. He is also a fugitive wanted on several charges related to drugs and organized crime. On October 20, 2009, he was named by the FBI as the 493rd fugitive to be placed on the Ten Most Wanted list.

Since 1994, Ravelo has cultivated relationships with some of the highest-ranking cartel members. He rose to power within the Barrio Aztecas because of his connections with the Juárez Cartel.

In 2005, an informant and former Barrio Azteca lieutenant testified that Ravelo told him to help find fellow gang members who had stolen from the cartel. The informant testified that later he was taken to a house in El Paso, Texas where a gang member's mouth, wrists and ankles were bound with duct tape. He was delivered to the Juarez cartel and never heard from again.

In March 2008, he became the leader of the gang shortly after betraying his predecessor, stabbing him several times and shooting him in the neck.

Ravelo and his gang members are allegedly hitmen for a Mexican drug cartel and are responsible for multiple homicides. Barrio Azteca has approximately 600 active members who engage in arson, assault, auto theft, contract killing, extortion, illegal immigration, kidnapping, money laundering, murder, prostitution, racketeering, human and drug trafficking, among other crimes. Many of the members are in American and Mexican prisons and benefit from the gang's profits by having funds placed in their prison commissary accounts.

Ravelo is originally from Mexico, but has permanent resident status in the United States, helping him to cross the Mexico – United States border. Ravelo is believed to be hiding with his wife and children in a Barrio Aztecas-controlled neighborhood in Ciudad Juárez, just across the border from El Paso, Texas. He is said to have bodyguards and armored vehicles to protect him from rival gangs and rival cartels.

According to federal authorities, Ravelo may have altered his appearance by plastic surgery, and fingertips to disguise his fingerprints.

Ravelo is considered armed and extremely dangerous. FBI offers a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to his capture.
