In the
2000s, the United
States
FBI
continues for a sixth decade to maintain a public
list of the people it regards as the Ten Most Wanted
Fugitives. Following is a brief review of FBI
people and events that place the 2000s decade in context, and then
a historical list of individual fugitives whose names first
appeared on the 10 Most Wanted list during the decade of the
2000s.
FBI Directors in the 2000s
FBI Headlines in the 2000s
The 2000s started out badly for the FBI's much needed attempts to
upgrade technology. First, the
Trilogy project
went far over the $380 million budget, and behind its three-year
schedule. Then,
Virtual Case File,
or VCF, planned for completion in 2003, was officially abandoned in
2005, after more than $100 million spent. A new, more ambitious
investigation software project code-named Sentinel, is now expected
to be completed by 2009.
In 2001,
Robert Hanssen, high within the
Bureau, was caught selling information to the Russians
, and Bureau
security practices came into question.
In 2002 the FBI's official top priority became
counter-terrorism, followed second by
counterintelligence. The
USA PATRIOT
Act granted the FBI increased monitoring powers.
The
9/11 Commission in 2004 blamed
the FBI in part for not pursuing intelligence reports which could
have prevented the
September
11, 2001 attacks. In consequence, the Bureau came under
oversight by the new
Director of National
Intelligence.
FBI Most Wanted Fugitives in the 2000s
The FBI in the past has identified individuals by the sequence
number in which each individual has appeared on the list. Some
individuals have even appeared twice, and often a sequence number
was permanently assigned to an individual fugitive who was soon
caught, captured, or simply removed, before his or her appearance
could be published on the publicly released list. In those cases,
the public would see only gaps in the number sequence reported by
the FBI. For convenient reference, the wanted fugitive's sequence
number and date of entry on the FBI list appear below, whenever
possible.
As the decade opened, the following were still at large as the Ten
Most Wanted Fugitives, from the prior two decades:
- 1981 #375 (nineteen years), Donald Eugene Webb
- 1984 #386 (sixteen years), Victor Manuel Gerena
- 1989 #427 (eleven years), Arthur
Lee Washington Jr.
- 1996 #445 (four years), Agustín Vásquez
Mendoza
- 1996 #447 (six years), Glen Stewart Godwin
- 1997 #451 (three years), Ramón Arellano
Félix
- 1998 #454 (two years), Eric Robert Rudolph
- 1999 #455 (one year), James Charles Kopp
- 1999 #456 (one year), Osama
bin Laden
- 1999 #458 (one year), James
J. Bulger
The most wanted fugitives added to the list by the FBI in the
