10 Alexis Flores

Alexis Flores is currently on the FBI’s most wanted list because in 2000 he kidnapped, raped and strangled to death a 5 year old girl named Iriana DeJesus. Alexis was living as a homeless drifter at the time so it wasn’t a problem for him to just disappear. In 2004 Alexis was living under a false name and when the police received a noise complaint he gave them false papers that got him arrested for forgery. He was imprisoned for 60 days and deported to Honduras. Not until 2007 after a positive DNA match did police final realize that Alexis and the man calling himself Carlos were one and the same. He dropped off the face of the planet after his deportation even having his name on America’s Most Wanted didn’t seem to help.

He currently has a warrant out for his arrest. The reward for tips leading to his capture is $100,000.^[1]

9 Eugene Palmer

Eugene Palmer is currently on the FBI’s Most Wanted list for allegedly shooting his daughter in law to death. Eugene’s daughter in law Tammy was going through a messy separation with his son John. John and Tammy had multiple heated confrontations that lead to her filing a restraining order against him. This infuriated Eugene. Tammy and her (and John’s) children were also living on Eugene’s land. This also led to many angry fights between Eugene and Tammy. One September morning Tammy walked her children to the school bus, as she walked back home Eugene shot her once in the arm and then in the chest. He fled the scene and has never been seen since. His car was found abandoned at a state park. Police searched the area with dogs but they eventually lost the scent. Eugene Palmer’s family seemed to believe that he died in the park but police don’t agree. Eugene was an experienced outdoorsman so it is possible that he is still living in the park to this day or has escaped to some other location.^[2]

8 Santiago Villalba Mederos

Santiago Villalba Mederos was a member of a gang and was added to the FBI’s Most Wanted list in 2017 for the murder of two people, Camille Love and Saul Lucas-Alfonso and the wounding of another man. None of the victims actually had gang ties; Camille Love was an aspiring veterinary technician. She was walking with her brother who was wearing a red jacket and driving in a red car, which was the color of their rival gang and they opened fire; killing Camille and wounding her brother. Saul Lucas-Alfonso was killed because Santiago thought he owed the gang money. Just innocent people at the wrong place and time.

It’s been years since the murders took place and it is believed that Santiago fled to Mexico but it is possible that he is still in the U.S. He is of course considered armed and dangerous. He has quite distinctive tattoos, the letter “S” on his left shoulder and the letter “E” on his right shoulder. The reward for information leading to his arrest is $100,000.^[3]

When the house was examined the police found evidence of arson. People knew Robert to be aggressive and controlling and it was thought that Mary was going to divorce him. People heard the couple arguing the night of the murders. It’s been over a decade and a half and Robert William Fisher has never been found. His car was discovered outside a pine forest and since he was an outdoorsman he could still be living out in the woods. If Robert Fisher is still alive he’d be in his mid-50s.^[4]
