Longest time on the FBI most wanted list

In the 65 years since the FBI first published its list of 10 most wanted fugitives, 94% of them have been located. The criminal who’s been on the list longer than anyone is Victor Manuel Gerena, added in 1984 and still at large 31 years later. He’s wanted in connection to the Los Macheteros (“The Machete Wielders”) Puerto Rican terror group and the armed robbery of a Wells Fargo armoured car facility in Connecticut. Working there as a security guard, Gerena tied up two co-workers, put $7.1m in the boot of his car and fled. He’s widely believed to be in Cuba and there’s a $1m reward for information leading to his arrest
