Most Wanted Lists Don't Work

Because of my suspicions about some of you all, I found myself perusing the FBIs website, No, actually I read an article about one of the FBIs 10 most wanted being captured today, so I did a little background reading.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (AP) -- The lone woman on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list was captured and charged with one count of second-degree murder, authorities said.


Shauntay L. Henderson, 24, was arrested Saturday when she answered the door at an apartment, police said.


Authorities had gone to the apartment in search of someone she knew, authorities said. Henderson, a reputed gang member, is charged with the September 2006 shooting death of DeAndre M.

Parker, 20, who was killed as he sat in a pickup truck outside a convenience store. Court documents did not give a motive for the shooting.


So then I looked further on their webpage to see what exactly qualified you for this distinction of being the United States "Most Wanted". Of course you have the normal "super drug dealers" and murders, you have the hard core drug dealers, and child molesters. You also have Osama Bin Laden, which I personally don't think should be on the FBIs 10 most wanted because the likelihood of anyone here on US soil running into Osama at his or her local 24 Hour Fitness is about as likley as Brittney Spears becoming an intellectual.

But you would think that climbing the ranks of "Most Wantedness" would increase the capture rate of these fiends because of the exposure.

But then we have the case of Richard Steve Goldberg.

This guy has been on the list since 2001 for extensive reprehensible acts involving children. And he's still out there.

HOW THE HECK DOES THIS FOOL GO AROUND UNNOTICED? He actually looks like he's wanted for crimes. No "blending in" with the crowd here. Unless maybe he was at a Super Expo for the Criminally Insane. Even then he would be certainly looked upon by others there as scary.

I really don't think the FBIs list is considered bad for criminals. They may not even know they're on it. Apparently, even our female listee was "answering the door" to the apartment she was staying in. NO CONCERN for the authorities. I mean, she didn't even look out the peephole to see?

It saddens me that the nations Top Cops are having trouble catching these weirdos. Maybe with some more publicity it may get better. I hope.
