FBI Most Wanted Information

The FBI’s most wanted first came into existence on March 14th in the year 1950. The list is an indication of crimes of many forms and levels and it consists of criminals who are believed to be a grievous menace to the society and have a long criminal history. The list gets updated from time to time. If the person mentioned in the list surrenders or if they get arrested or die, their names get replaced by the next in line. The names can also get deleted from the most wanted list if case against them is rejected or if these people do not fit to the criteria of most wanted.

FBI Initiatives

FBI with joint collaboration with local, federal and state law enforcement agencies announced in the year 2007, the “Civil Rights-Era Cold Case Initiative” for the purpose of reexamining and identifying unsolved crime cases. By taking this initiative, the unsolved murder cases which took place prior to 1969 and are more than 100 in number are currently under investigation by FBI. Recently the FBI has posted a partial list of these cases on their website at http://www.fbi.gov/. 

For years, these cases were the ones on which the justice has not been received. FBI has been proactive and devoted long hours for investigation of these cases and now they are seeking public assistance. FBI is doing this because getting information from the families of the victims is the last resort to get information which is not available otherwise. If you are having any information regarding these cold cases then you can contact the local FBI office.
