==History== The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] (FBI) was the first agency to create a most wanted list.<ref name=GuardianMay2011>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/may/04/the-worlds-most-wanted-list |title=Who is now on the World's Most Wanted list? |newspaper=The Guardian |date=May 4, 2011}}</ref> The [[FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives]] list was inaugurated on March 14, 1950, at the direction of FBI director [[J. Edgar Hoover]]. The idea for the list came from a question asked by a reporter for the [[International News Service]]. The reporter asked the FBI to provide names and descriptions of the "toughest guys" that the agency wanted to capture. After observing the high level of [[public interest]] generated by the resulting news story, Hoover decided to publish a formal list.<ref>{{citation |url=https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/ten-most-wanted-fugitives-faq |title="Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" Program Frequently Asked Questions |publisher=Federal Bureau of Investigation |access-date=January 14, 2012}}</ref>
