The FBI's Most Wanted List
The FBI's Most Wanted List is not a list you want to be on. It's reserved for the most heinous criminals who are dangerous to themselves and anyone they come in contact with. The list was enacted in 1950 after a reporter simply asked the FBI for a list of the "toughest guys" that they were searching for.
The reporter published the names, and the rest is history. There have been 521 people on the Most Wanted list, and 488 have been caught and dealt with.
