FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives by year, 1967


In 1967, the United States FBI, under Director J. Edgar Hoover, continued for an eighteenth year to maintain a public list of the people it regarded as the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.

As the FBI began the year 1967, all ten places on the list remained filled by fugitives from prior years, then still at large:

By year end, the FBI had cleared through all but one of the fugitives who opened 1967 on the list. Coupled with quick capture of fugitives added during the year, the FBI added a total of 18 new fugitives during 1967.

1967 also brought another pair of brothers to the list, Charles and Gordon Ervin.
