  1. Okay, we have the names but I don’t think these most wanted are going to walk down the street with name tags! How about a picture or two?

    • Somebody stole the mugshot camera from OIJ(naturaturally they have no clues who) and “consultant fees” already burned up the 2013 budget so a replacement is currently out of duh kweshshtyun.. Photos coming in 2014 ! Tal vez.

  2. Interestingly, you didn’t include the charges for which those who evaded detention were convicted. Also interesting is that some of these charges do not seem worthy of a “most wanted” status.
