    The FBI added Jimenez to their top 10 most wanted list in 2019.

    How does the FBI pick their top ten? I’m glad to hear he will face justice for a terrible crime, but you’d think a top ten guy would be a serial killer. I wonder if they had some info on him and thought putting him on the top 10 could get the final leads they needed b

      This isn't particularly insightful, but from FBI.gov: I wonder if fleeing the country increases your chances of making it on the list, though.

      This isn't particularly insightful, but from FBI.gov:

      Who actually decides which fugitives go on the list?
      The Criminal Investigative Division (CID) at FBI Headquarters calls upon all 55 Field Offices to submit candidates for the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted Fugitives” list. The nominees received are reviewed by Special Agents in the CID and the Office of Public Affairs. The selection of the “proposed” candidate(s) is then forwarded to FBI Executive Management for final approval.

      On what criteria is that decision made?
      First, the individual must have a lengthy record of committing serious crimes and/or be considered a particularly dangerous menace to society due to current criminal charges.
      Second, it must be believed that the nationwide publicity afforded by the program can be of assistance in apprehending the fugitive, who, in turn, should not already be notorious due to other publicity.

      I wonder if fleeing the country increases your chances of making it on the list, though.

        I read that as the 10 they most want to induce tips for. It is interesting that doesn't align with the 10 most notorious, but makes sense I suppose.

        I think many of us internalize the list to be something like what would be the 10 biggest bounties in the wild west, but it's really more like the 10 bounties with the best expected return on investment.

    He was on the FBI's Most Wanted list since killing his new bride in 2012 in a Chicago suburb. It's believed that his brother drove him to Mexico after the murder. I'm sick of all these violent criminals illegally crossing the border. First Andy Dufresne, now this guy? When will it stop?

      Probably when Mexico imposes a 50% tax on America to stop all the drugs and illegal immigrants coming south?
