Mystery – March 14

“The ‘Ten Most Wanted Fugitives’ program is a publicity program founded by the FBI in March of 1950 in conjunction with the nation’s news media. It is designed to publicize particularly dangerous fugitives who might not otherwise merit nationwide attention. The FBI recognizes the need for public assistance in tracking fugitives. One hundred and sixty-three of the ‘Ten Most Wanted Fugitive’ apprehensions have been the result of citizen recognition of ‘Ten Most Wanted Fugitive’ publicity.”

On this date in 1950, the FBI’s “10 Most Wanted Fugitives” list made its debut.

Writing prompt: Write a scene in which your protagonist encounters a criminal whose life goal is to get added to the 10 Most Wanted list.
