The Most Dangerous Criminals To Ever Make The FBI's Most Wanted List

If you can think of a crime, chances are pretty good that Rafael Caro-Quintero has either committed it or been involved in it. He was put on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List in 1985, and the charges were long: violent crimes in aid of racketeering, conspiracy to commit violent crimes, conspiracy to kidnap a federal agent, felony murder of a federal agent ... you get the idea. There's so much there, in fact, that there's a $20 million reward listed on the poster as well.

The murdered federal agent is Enrique Camarena, a DEA agent who was kidnapped and killed while in Mexico in 1985. According to The Guardian, he was grabbed off the street while walking to a lunch date with his wife and was found a month later — he'd been subjected to some extreme torture before he'd been killed. 

Here's the weird thing: Caro-Quintero was actually arrested and found guilty of ordering Camarena's death. He got a 40-year sentence and remained in prison until he was released in 2013. Why? It was "on administrative grounds." Of course, that didn't go over well, and guess what? He went back on the list. He might be underground, but his lawyers certainly know where he is — in May 2020, they filed for an injunction barring his arrest and extradition from Mexico to the US, saying that he "has no money, is too old to work, and has no pension."
