The FBI’s Most Wanted list is best known for naming the 10 on-the-loose individuals
that rank highest on the agency’s radar but, not everyone is aware of the fact that the list is
actually much longer than that. Many other scary people are also included on the list for their
involvement in crimes ranging from fraud, robbery, assault, cyber crimes and other,
more violent criminal activities and in many of these cases, a hefty reward is
being offered to anyone who has information leading to the arrest of these criminals.
5.
Hazel Leota Head
For 23 years, the FBI has been hunting Hazel Leota Head, a woman with more than 25 aliases,
but try as they may, she remains elusive and is still on the loose today.
In August of 1998, an elderly man named Charles Barker had just lost his wife and
he decided to try and counteract his depression by engaging in the activities that he loved,
such as fishing and travelling. But, according to his daughter, Cindy Jefferson, this only
caused him to become lonelier, as he wasn’t accustomed to doing these things by himself.
That’s when he met a woman called Deianna Ray at a casino on the Red River in Louisiana. Charles very
likely believed that he had met her by chance, but police would later reveal that it was all probably
a set-up orchestrated by Hazel Head, a drifter who was in the habit of hitchhiking across the
country, taking advantage of men like Charles, draining their bank accounts before vanishing.
Charles carried large amounts of cash with him and police believe that Hazel would have noticed this
since she was on the lookout for just that. But Charles believed he had
found love and within days of meeting Hazel, asked her to move in with him.
Charles’ other daughter, Jennifer Spoonts,
decided to take a 9-hour drive to his house to meet her father’s new companion
and she noticed that Hazel seemed unkempt, immediately becoming suspicious of her.
Not too long after, Charles also started to doubt the relationship,
telling Jennifer that he was having trouble with the new woman,
but refusing to give any further details. He told her that he would phone back in two or three days,
but he never did and when Jennifer tried to follow up, she got no answer.
She contacted Charles’ sister, June who, together with her husband, drove to Charles’ house to
investigate. When they arrived, they noticed that the front door was open and found Charles slumped
over his bar, deceased and his safe emptied. Hazel had ended his life with his own firearm.
When police ran a background check on her, they found that she had been married as many as
10 times and that she had an outstanding warrant in Lincoln, Nebraska where she burned down her
ex-boyfriend’s house and fled before her trial. A reward of up to $5,000 is offered for information
leading to her arrest. Anyone with information can contact the FBI on 1-800-225-5324.
4. Alvin Scott
Alvin Scott, also known as Ahmet Sehsuvar, is considered by the FBI to be armed and dangerous
since he has more than a decade’s worth of military training.
In August of 2001, Scott’s wife, Lillia Ivanova,
had just left him and was temporarily staying with a male friend, Elie-Abi Saab.
The two were just friends with no romantic relationship,
but Scott thought otherwise and he had grown jealous. He and Lillia were
supposed to appear in court that same day in connection with their divorce proceedings,
a factor that no doubt contributed to the heinous crime that he was about to commit.
Scott had experience working as a private investigator
and he put those skills to use, staking out the apartment where they were staying from his car
on the 3rd of August. He waited patiently until they exited the building and took his chance,
ending both their lives with a firearm. FBI agents believe that he was in the mindset
of “If I can’t have her, no one can” and after completing his objective, he fled.
He was last seen in Bulgaria and the sighting was reported to the authorities
but, before they could arrive, Scott had fled once again and he remains on the loose today.
It is believed that he fled to Greece, Hungary or his home country of Turkey.
But thanks to his extensive military training, the fact that he speaks several languages and
his experience in law enforcement, he has proven exceptionally hard to track down.
A reward of $100,000 is offered for information in the case
and anyone who is able to help is asked to contact their local FBI office or American Embassy.
3.
Joe Matthew Constance
On the 5th of June, 2011, Joe Matthew Constance committed a crime
that would see him added to the FBI’s Most Wanted list. On that day, Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s
Office deputies were called to a house located on Rustic View Drive in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
When they arrived, they learned from witnesses that Constance had forcefully gained entry
into his estranged wife, Mary Duhon’s residence looking for her. When he couldn’t immediately
locate her, he confronted other occupants of the house, demanding to know where Mary was.
He threatened to use his firearm on two of the occupants and physically assaulted another.
When he got no helpful information from them, he searched the rest of
the residence and eventually found Mary in another part of the house.
He then used his firearm to end her life and immediately fled the area in his pickup truck.
The case was featured on the popular TV show “America’s Most Wanted”
in hopes that one of its millions of viewers would have information on Constance’s whereabouts,
but this proved to be fruitless as he has still not been caught and it remains an FBI cold case.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff, Tony Mancuso said in a 2014 interview that they had pulled out all
the stops and used every resource available to them, but they had not received any new leads
and there was no telling where Constance had been hiding out for all this time.
The Sheriff’s Office has conducted searches of the swamps
and wooded areas of Cameron Parish with the use of aircraft and boats, but to no avail.
Even after the manhunt was extended to Mexico and Canada, they were left without any answers.
The FBI has offered a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to Constance’s arrest
and conviction and anyone who believes they know where he is or has any new information
on the case has been asked to contact their local FBI office.
2. William Junior Jordan
William Junior Jordan, now aged 79, may appear to be a harmless older man, but in reality,
he is listed on the FBI’s Most Wanted list as a cold-blooded killer and fugitive from justice
who escaped imprisonment and has been on the loose ever since.
James Rouse Jr. a principal, husband and father of two from Suwanee, Georgia,
had just given a lecture at a college on the 6th of March,
1974 and he decided to stop in at a hotel bar to phone his wife.
While there, he came into contact with William Junior Jordan, then aged 31 and 24-year-old
Anthony Prevatte who were wanted for a series of burglaries that they committed in North Carolina.
The two men decided to take Jordan hostage, forcing him into his own car under threat of
having his life ended with a firearm. They then drove to the edge of a remote forest
and removed him from the vehicle, forcing him to walk into the woods barefoot.
They walked as far as a lakeshore where they ended his life.
The following day in Wadesboro, North Carolina, over 200 miles away, an anonymous tip was phoned
in to police saying that Jordan and Prevatte were hiding out at the residence of a friend.
When they arrived at the house, they noticed that an unfamiliar car was parked in the driveway.
As they approached the house, Jordan and Prevatte suddenly sped away in the car
which they had been hiding in. The two officers gave chase and in a last-ditch effort to escape,
Jordan fired at them, but Prevatte lost control of the car, rolling it and ending up in a ditch.
The two men were arrested and charged with breaking and entering, larceny and assaulting
police officers with a firearm. When James Rouse was found 2 days later, police knew they were
responsible for his demise, as they were still driving his car and photos were found inside the
vehicle of Jordan and Prevatte leaning on the car, holding the firearm that was used in the crime.
Both men were convicted of murder and received sentences of life in prison.
Prevatte would be paroled in 1991, though he would later receive the death penalty
for ending the life of his girlfriend. After 10 years in prison, Jordan was sent to a minimum
security work farm in Odum, Georgia where he was allowed to drive a pickup truck to be refueled.
On the 6th of August, 1984, he and another inmate took their chance and escaped.
James’ accomplice was apprehended a month later,
but Jordan had gone his own way and police were unable to track him down.
It was reported that he visited his cousin a few weeks later and in 1992, he was spotted
in Virginia where police believe he may still be hiding out. Jordan has several distinctive
tattoos, including one of a skeleton on his right forearm, a spider on his right upper arm,
a cross with the name “Sybil’ on his left forearm and the name “Louise’ on his left leg.
Jordan should be considered armed and dangerous and if you have any information that could help
the FBI in tracking him down, you should contact their offices on 1-800-225-5324
or contact your nearest American Embassy or Consulate.

Lawrence William Fishman
During his youth, Lawrence William Fishman, a man with a severe mental
illness, was treated for various psychiatric disorders that included persecution complexes.
While in college in California, he was part of several mental health groups
and during a stay in England, he wrote a study on innovative halfway house programs.
41 years ago in 1980, Fishman, then 29 years old, was visiting his parents,
Evelyn and Frederick in Silver Spring, Maryland. His family had not seen him for about two months
and during his visit, they urged him to seek psychiatric help once again.
A few days before he committed a crime that would see him added to the FBI’s Most Wanted list,
he called them and asked that they leave money
for him in the dining room so that he could go to see a psychiatrist.
But on the 28th of November at around 6:30 pm,
his father, who was a federal administrative law judge,
made a call to police to report that Fishman had fired a weapon at his mother and struck her in
the neck. Shortly after, he would also chase down his father and attack him with the same firearm.
Evelyn would go on to make a full recovery, but unfortunately, Frederick wasn’t as lucky
and he would pass away at the scene. Police have stated that they found no motive for the crime
and that they believe the incident to have arisen due to Fishman’s struggles with his mental health.
He was last seen at a YMCA in New Haven, Connecticut
where he was waiting for a call at a telephone. He mentioned to witnesses that he was going
somewhere warm before disappearing and he has remained a fugitive ever since.
Investigators believe that he may be hiding out in California under a new identity
and anyone with information can contact the FBI at their nearest offices.
