The FBI published the first Ten Most Wanted list in March 1950. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover began the list in response to a widely-read 1949 newspaper story about the "toughest guys" sought by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. To date, 148 arrests of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted have resulted from citizens recognition of fugitives through this publicity program.
