Top 7 Most Wanted Fugitives
Governmental bodies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the MI5 were established
with clear directives in mind - including the safety of the general public from vicious
madmen on the loose.
Criminals are notorious for being creatively elusive to track down - and these seven fugitives
not only uphold that stereotype, but come in at valedictorian status.
Although institutions like the FBI maintain a 90% success rate in capturing "serious or
dangerous criminals through national publicity", these slippery ne'er do wells have somehow
fallen in that other 10% thus far.
From cold blooded killers to almost cartoonish villains - let's have a look at seven wanted
fugitives still on the run.
Number seven - William Bradford Bishop, Jr.
Jumping in at full-speed, Maryland native William Bradford Bishop Jr. butchered his
entire family in 1976 after realizing he had been passed over for a promotion at work.
As the story goes, this former State Department official is believed to have bludgeoned his
mother, wife and three sons (aged 5, 10 and 14) to death - only sparing the family dog.
Although the murders themselves occurred in Maryland, the bodies are believed to have
been transported to Columbia, North Carolina - where Bishop buried them all in a shallow
grave that he later lit ablaze.
The Yale-educated and multilingual madman would be in his late 70s by now, which didn't
deter officials from recently adding the psychopath to the national Most Wanted List.
Number six - Jason Derek Brown.
Jason Derek Brown looked like a "least likely to be a criminal" candidate on paper.
He was a family man and active member (even missionary) of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints - described by others as "caring" - even "pleasant to be around".
Well, that all changed sometime around 2004 - when the then 35 year old allegedly shot
and killed an armored car guard named Robert Keith Palomares outside of a Phoenix, Arizona
movie complex.
On the run since, this otherwise surfer dude looking individual bears a striking resemblance
to actor Sean Penn - even confusing officials leading to Penn's body double being arrested
not once, but twice.
As an avid golfer, he's believed to still be hitting the links - yet somehow avoiding
capture for over a decade.
Number five - Yaser Abdel Said.
Accused over the 2008 murders of his two teenaged daughters in Irving, Texas - this taxi driving
creep has deeper ties to the criminal underworld than most would be led to believe from his
gruesome accusations.
Receiving a phone call from his 17 year old daughter, a 911 dispatcher listened in while
she screamed "Help!
Help!
My dad shot me, my sister - I'm dying!
I'm dying!".
Unfortunately too late, officials indeed found the slain bodies several hours later.
Said to always be wearing dark sunglasses (both in and outdoors), Said may have sought
shelter with Egyptian-tied communities or other criminals in New York, Virginia, Texas,
Canada or Egypt.
Said to frequent diners like Denny's and IHOP - it's a chilling reminder that a psychopath
could be right next to you.
Number four - Glen Stewart Godwin.
Let's take a peek at some of Mr. Godwin's prior history.
Convicted murder?
Check.
Prison escape?
Check (twice, in fact - including a baffling escape from the storied Folsom Prison through
a man-made tunnel and the aide of his released cellmate).
Drug trafficking?
You betcha.
After that final conviction, he was accused of killing one of his fellow inmates in 1991
at a Guadalajara prison - just before escaping one more time.
The FBI believes that Godwin is still traveling through Central America and / or South America
- believing him to continue to be a major player in the drug trafficking and distribution
trade.
Something tells us Godwin's handsome looks have gotten him out of some seriously sticky
situations - but he's DEFINITELY not one to approach.
Number three - Semion Mogilevich.
Also known as "Brainy Don", or the leader of the Red Mafia - a notoriously dangerous
Russian mob family - this defrauding brainiac may be less violent than some of the others
on our list, but he's certainly no less terrifying.
Added to the Most Wanted List in 2009 for a host of charges like fraud, false SEC filings,
RICO conspiracy and a handful of other white collar crimes, Mogilevich allegedly led a
$150 million scheme to defraud Canadian investors from a home base in Philadelphia.
He's also believed to have ties to illegal weapons (including those of the nuclear variety),
drug trafficking, international prostitution and other crimes.
Laundering money across 27 nations - he's even been said to have close ties to Vladimir
Putin - being called the "most powerful mobster in the world".
Number two - Corey Deshawn Gaston.
Another entry on our list with no prior criminal conviction before his incident - this case
gets a little darker.
In 2007, Gaston broke into a residential home in Detroit - kidnapping a 10 year old girl
and proceeding to sexually assault her in a nearby alleyway.
Fleeing the scene - he was eventually captured in Georgia later that year and was granted
bond before his trial in 2008.
Last being seen somewhere around the Detroit area - his escape has been a mystery ever
since.
According to the US Marshals Service, Gaston was a community leader in children's sports
- frequently mentoring and coaching young children's hockey.
Being described as a "parent's worst nightmare", his disgusting acts only come second to worst
on our countdown.
Number one - David Benjamin Creamer.
Wanted in the District Of Arizona since December 1997 for violating the terms of his pretrial
release, Creamer's list of offenses are just getting started.
From 1992 and 1995, he allegedly produced over 100,000 diskettes containing horrific
accounts of child pornography, bestiality and more - earning his underground company
more than 2.3 million in one year alone.
As a known diabetic with extremely poor circulation and heavy smoking habits - Creamer's health
issues are thought to have deteriorated him by now, but this disgusting criminal is also
thought to be constantly armed with a .38 caliber handgun in a shoulder holster.
Often making public statements such as, "they'll never take me alive", Creamer reminds us that
pedophiles are not only heinous - but often violently dangerous as well.
