FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, 1990s

List of fugitives on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list in the 1990s

The FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives during the 1990s is a list, maintained for a fifth decade, of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation.

FBI headlines in the 1990s

As a decade, the 1990s list stands out above others for its inclusion of a large number of highly notorious suspects, including several major terrorists, foreign and domestic. In 1993 and 1994, the FBI was scrutinized for its role in the Ruby Ridge and Waco incidents. In 1999, the most notorious suspect ever in American history, Osama bin Laden, was added to the list for the 1998 embassy attacks.

Although many 1990s terrorists have appeared on the top 10 list of fugitives, it was not until the aftermath of 9/11 in 2001 that the FBI began maintaining a separate list of Most Wanted Terrorists.

FBI 10 Most Wanted Fugitives to begin the 1990s

The FBI in the past has identified individuals by the sequence number in which each individual has appeared on the list. Some individuals have even appeared twice, and often a sequence number was permanently assigned to an individual suspect who was soon caught, captured, or simply removed, before his or her appearance could be published on the publicly released list. In those cases, the public would see only gaps in the number sequence reported by the FBI. For convenient reference, the wanted suspect's sequence number and date of entry on the FBI list appear below, whenever possible.

The 1990s version of the logo previously used by the FBI as the main title for the web site page of the group of ten fugitives. This version of the logo came into use by the FBI beginning in the 1990s, and lasted at least through 1998. By 2005, it had been reworked into the modern logo now seen at the top of the group of ten fugitives page. In contrast, this early 1990s logo had appeared in the center of the group of ten fugitives on the FBI's web page, with the 10 fugitive photos and names evenly spaced all around the logo.

The following fugitives made up the top Ten list to begin the 1990s:

One spot on the list of ten remained unfilled from a capture late in the year 1989. It was filled in the first month of the last year of the decade in 1990.

Red and black headers used by the FBI on 1990s top ten wanted posters. This red and black 1990s version of the headers appeared on FBI wanted posters with blue text in the upper left corner reading "FBI Fugitive Publicity." These two headers were replaced by the modern blue border version of the poster header some time before 2002.

FBI Most Wanted Fugitives added during the 1990s

The list of the most wanted fugitives listed during the 1990s fluctuated throughout the decade with some fugitives making reappearances on the list. In 1992, there were no additions made by the FBI to the list, for the second time in its history. As before, spots on the list were occupied by fugitives who had been listed in prior years, and still remained at large. The list includes (in FBI list appearance sequence order):[8][9]
