The International Criminal Police Organization was founded in 1923 as a multi-national crime-fighting
0:06
force.
0:07
The first countries to join were Austria, Belgium, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece,
0:11
Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, and Yugoslavia.
0:17
The UK was soon on board, and currently Interpol’s own website says its network spans 190 nations.
0:24
Its mission as you probably know is to prevent crimes and track down criminals all over the
0:28
world.
0:29
That be could related to drug trafficking, environmental crimes, organized crime, terrorism,
0:33
cybercrime, or even just going after a single person who committed a crime and went on the
0:38
run.
0:39
These people are sometimes caught decades after the original transgression.
0:42
Today we’ll see who’s presently under Interpol’s spotlight, in this episode of
0:46
the Infographics Show, Interpol's Most Wanted Americans in 2018.
0:50
10: Catherine Marie Kerkow The FBI tells us that if you have met this
0:54
woman she might also have been going under the name of Janice Ann Forte, Odile Ann Pesse
1:00
or Odile Pesse.
1:01
What did she do?
1:02
She was involved in the hijacking of Western Airlines Flight 701 from LA to Seattle in
1:07
1972.
1:08
She and an accomplice said they had a bomb and demanded half a million bucks (that’s
1:12
about 3 million in today’s money).
1:14
The pair flew to Algeria and were given political asylum but soon moved on.
1:19
Where this lady – formerly a member of the Black Panthers – is now is a mystery.
1:22
This is about as light as it gets from here on.
1:25
9: Prakashanand Saraswati This spiritual leader founded the Radha Madhav
1:30
Dham, a spiritual organization based in Texas.
1:33
The organization has no ties whatsoever with the founder now, and that’s because in 2011
1:39
he was convicted of 20 counts of child molestation.
1:41
He was given 280 years to serve behind bars, but the writer of nine books on Hindu ethics
1:46
was sentenced in absentia (when he wasn’t there) because he seemed to vanish into thin
1:51
air.
1:52
It’s believed that he was helped by some of his followers to get into Mexico and from
1:55
there he traveled on a fake passport to India.
1:58
8: Leo Frederick Burt This man is wanted for allegedly taking part
2:02
in a bombing that happened in 1970 at the campus of the University of Wisconsin.
2:07
The bombing killed an academic, injured a few more, and caused over two million dollars’
2:11
worth of damage.
2:12
Burt was identified and charged with sabotage, destruction of government property, and conspiracy.
2:17
It’s said he has moved around Canada but is likely in the USA.
2:21
If you can help catch the “Ghost of Wisconsin” you might get a reward of $150,000.
2:26
7: William Lee Copp This guy is perhaps well known because he
2:30
was a junior Olympics gymnastics coach and a member of the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame.
2:35
But he was also caught downloading over 100 videos of acts of child pornography.
2:39
He had a court appearance to attend in 2006, and he was never seen again.
2:43
In fact, many people on the most wanted list are charged with very similar crimes, but
2:47
we’ll include just this one.
2:49
6: George Edward Wright Like many others on this list, Mr. Wright
2:53
is known to have used many aliases.
2:55
You might even have known him as the Reverend L. Burgess.
2:58
He was convicted of murder in 1962, but in 1970 he managed to escape from the New Jersey
3:03
State Prison.
3:04
To add to his crimes, he and others the same year hijacked a plane which was travelling
3:08
from Detroit to Miami.
3:10
Like something from a Hollywood movie, his disguise that day was cleric’s clothing
3:14
and a bible in his hand.
3:15
The FBI writes, “He used a gun concealed in the Bible to confront the aircraft's pilot
3:19
and crew.”
3:20
The gang flew to Miami, released the passengers, and then took the crew to Boston.
3:24
There they refueled and flew to Algiers.
3:27
No one was hurt and the plane and the ransom they had demanded were returned to the U.S.
3:31
Wright is the only one of the hijackers that remains at large.
3:34
He was caught in Portugal in 2011, but as he had Portuguese citizenship his extradition
3:39
to the U.S. was denied.
3:40
It’s believed he is still there, now with his own family.
3:44
5: Denise Harvey Harvey is wanted by the police for having
3:47
a sexual relationship with a 16-year old boy who played on her son’s baseball team.
3:52
In 2008, the 47-year old was handed a 30-year prison sentence for her crime but escaped
3:57
to Canada where she was given refugee status.
4:00
She called her punishment “cruel and unusual” and it seems that the Canadian government
4:04
agreed.
4:05
In Canada the age of consent is 16, although it’s 18 if the person is in a position of
4:09
trust.
4:10
In Florida, it’s illegal to have sex with someone 16 or younger if you are over 24-years
4:15
old.
4:16
We’ve included this one only because it’s a very controversial case.
4:19
Now we’ll get to people who could be said to have committed much more heinous crimes.
4:23
4: Santiago ‘Pucho’ Villalba Mederos There are many people on the most wanted list
4:28
that are so-called gang-bangers, but we will just include this one.
4:32
The member, or former member, of the Eastside Lokotes Sureno gang, is said to have lost
4:37
it in 2010 when he went on a couple of shooting sprees in Washington.
4:40
He shot and killed two people and injured others.
4:43
One of the injured persons later told the press, “He just comes from behind us and
4:47
gets in the lane next to us, speeds up to us, gets beside us and he just started shooting.”
4:52
The things is, the people in the car were not at all related to gang activity.
4:56
It seems Mederos just chose the car at random.
4:58
It’s thought that he is now in Mexico.
5:00
3: Yaser Abdel Said This controlling father is said to have murdered
5:05
his two daughters (aged 17 and 18) for dishonoring the family by not adhering to Egyptian cultural
5:11
behavior.
5:12
It’s said he told the two girls that he was taking them out to eat, but once they
5:15
had gotten into his car (a taxi cab) he shot them in cold blood on New Years’ Day 2008.
5:20
One of the girls died instantly and the other survived long enough to call 911.
5:25
Some of her last words were, “Help, my dad shot me!
5:28
I'm dying, I'm dying!”
5:29
The girls had complained that their father beat them and ruled over the house with an
5:33
iron fist.
5:34
One of the girls once texted a friend, saying, “He treats me like a whore.”
5:37
He would spy on them and it’s reported that the girls had expressed in emails to friends
5:41
that they were afraid for their lives.
5:42
It’s thought that the father is likely still in the U.S. and may even still drive a cab.
5:47
There is a $100,000 reward for anyone who can provide information that leads to his
5:53
capture.
5:54
2: Robert William Fisher This former U.S. Navy Veteran, firefighter
5:57
and respiratory therapist was for the most part of his life a person that helped save
6:01
lives.
6:02
Then on April 10, 2001, it’s said he shot his wife in the back of the head and slashed
6:07
his son and daughter’s throats.
6:09
Things hadn’t been going well in the household, and it’s reported that his wife was likely
6:13
going to divorce him.
6:14
Fisher had said he’d rather kill himself than go through a divorce.
6:17
It seems he killed his family instead.
6:19
After the murders he burned down the house.
6:21
It’s thought he is either in the U.S. or Canada, and he is said to be able to live
6:25
out in the wild as he has considerable outdoors skills.
6:28
He is considered armed and extremely dangerous.
6:31
The FBI has offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
6:36
1: William Bradford Bishop Jr.
6:39
This former U.S. Government Foreign Service Officer is accused of brutally bludgeoning
6:44
his wife, mother and three kids to death in Maryland on March 1, 1976.
6:50
The FBI writes that he is fond of the outdoors and is capable of living in the wild.
6:54
It also states, “He was known to read extensively and may have kept a diary or journal.
6:59
A longtime insomniac, Bishop reportedly had been under psychiatric care in the past and
7:04
had used medication for depression.”
7:05
He is said to be prone to violent outbursts and so is a, “dangerous fugitive.”
7:10
The hunted man has possibly been spotted all over Europe, and it’s thought if he’s
7:13
not already dead that’s probably where he is now.
7:16
So, what do you think about this list?
7:18
