Mr.
Schiff: Hi, welcome to "FBI 100, A Closer
Look." I'm Neal Schiff of the Bureau's Office
of Public Affairs along with FBI Historian Dr.
John Fox. Last week, John, we talked about the
FBI's Top Ten list. Let's look at some of those
who were on the list. Like Willie Sutton who had
a famous quote about why he was a bank robber?
Dr.
Fox: "Well Neal, Sutton was reported to have
said that he robbed banks 'because that's where
the money is.' And although that was pretty common
wisdom, he was caught pretty quickly and ended
up in jail for a good long time after that."
Mr.
Schiff: We've had many, many people on the
list; nearly 500. It sure has changed over the
years regarding the kinds of charges that these
people have been wanted for?
Dr.
Fox: "In the early days fugitives from significant
violent crimes, bank robberies and things like
that. Nowadays, of course, we're adding child
sexual predators; we have a terrorist on there;
organized crime figures; the list is reflecting
priorities of the Bureau."
Mr.
Schiff: Women have been on the list?
Dr.
Fox: "Sure. In 1968, Ruth Eisemann-Schier
was the first woman to be put on. She was put
on with her partner Gary Christ for a kidnapping
they had committed."
Mr.
Schiff: From the FBI's Public Affairs office,
along with Bureau Historian Dr. John Fox, I'm
Neal Schiff with "FBI 100, A Closer Look."
