Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} His Most Wanted by Sandra Jones Youngest People Ever On The FBI's Most Wanted List. We like to think that the FBI's Most Wanted list is mostly populated by the hardened criminal, the sort of person who commits misdemeanors for 10 or 15 years before robbing a bank, killing a couple bystanders, and fleeing to Mexico, where he remains at large for decades. It's hard to get your mind around the idea that kids and young adults can be hardened criminals, too. While it's definitely not as common as the stereotypical middle-aged crime boss and the career criminal-turned-outlaw, people as young as 18 are perfectly capable of committing crimes heinous enough to get the FBI's attention. And while we may not enjoy thinking about it, it's probably not a terrible idea to acknowledge that criminals come in all shapes, sizes, genders, and ages. In other words, you can't trust anyone, no matter how innocent they look. Here are some of the youngest people to ever make the FBI's Most Wanted list. Killed a coworker for the contents of her bank account. In 2016, Sandy Le loaned $1,000 to 17-year-old Alejandro Rosales Castillo, her co-worker at a Charlotte, North Carolina, restaurant. Lesson 1: When someone you work with asks you for a loan, you should say, "We work at the same place, if you don't have that kind of money what makes you think I do?" Don't say, "Sure, here's a grand." Best-case scenario, you won't ever see your money again. Worst-case scenario, you'll get murdered at a gas station and your coworker will drain your bank account and flee to Mexico. Sandy Le's body was found in a creek a little more than a week after Castillo promised to repay the $1,000 she'd loaned him. Lesson 2: When someone says he's going to pay back the money he borrowed but you have to meet him at a gas station late at night, say, "Hmm, let's meet at Starbucks at lunchtime instead. I'll buy you coffee!" According to the FBI, Castillo was later spotted crossing the border into Mexico. His girlfriend, who was thought to be an accessory to the crime, apparently decided she really didn't want to live forever in Mexico on whatever money they managed to get out of a 23-year-old's bank account, and turned herself in to authorities. When police failed to capture Castillo, they put him on the Most Wanted list, giving him the dubious distinction of being one of the youngest people to ever end up there. Kidnapped a guy, made him play video games, killed him. If you have a name like Jesse James Hollywood, you're destined to be either a criminal, an actor, or possibly a guy who herds cattle with a helicopter. This particular Jesse James Hollywood went with the first option. According to NBC News, he became a drug kingpin with a whole posse of people helping him sell drugs, most of whom owed him money. Ben Markowitz owed Hollywood $1,200 that he didn't feel particularly obliged to pay. Hoping to settle the score, Hollywood and his crew kidnapped Markowitz's brother, 15-year-old Nick in August 2000. They held him for two bizarre days, during which time he played video games and went to a pool party. But then Hollywood got nervous about the whole "consequences" thing, so he asked one of his cronies to take Markowitz out to a remote location and shoot him. But Hollywood sort of failed to think it all through. During the strange, two-day abduction, Nick had been seen by a lot of people. After his body was discovered, pretty much everyone knew who was responsible for killing him. The police arrested the triggerman, but 21-year-old Hollywood disappeared and was put on the FBI's Most Wanted list. He fled to Brazil, where he lived for five years until authorities tracked him down, mostly because his parents had been calling him and sending him money so he could live forever free from justice. Great parenting, Mr. and Mrs. Hollywood. Shot his girlfriend and her toddler. These stories are all pretty horrible, but nothing is quite as sickening as the murder of a small child and his mother. In February 2010, 17-year-old MS-13 member Juan Elias Garcia killed his 19-year-old ex-girlfriend Vanessa Argueta and her 2-year-old son. His reason? Well, the two had argued and afterward he was threatened by members of the rival gang she had ties to. So he decided to make them even more pissed off by killing her, which seems like the exact wrong course, but okay. Anyway, according to the FBI, Garcia invited Argueta to dinner but then drove her and her son to a wooded area and shot her in the head. He then allowed a fellow gang member to shoot the 2-year-old, because 2-year-olds make really awesome witnesses in court. Garcia fled to Nicaragua, but it wasn't until 2014, when he was 21, that the FBI finally decided to put him on their Most Wanted list. Just two days after his picture started appearing on wanted posters all over the world, he turned himself in and was extradited to the United States, where he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. Robbed a bank, forgot the bag. Twenty-one-year-old Malcolm Lorenzo Jones made the FBI's Most Wanted list for a good old-fashioned bank robbery, which is what people used to get put on the FBI's Most Wanted list for back in more innocent times, when no one was really afraid of toddlers turning state's evidence. Anyway, the Cincinnati Enquirer says on May 22, 2017, Lorenzo walked into a bank wearing a black hoodie (because stereotypes are fun) and then pulled out a handgun and told everyone to get on the floor. A teller was in the process of emptying a cash drawer for him when he opened a door to let in his brother, who also wanted to be a bank robber. But then oops, Lorenzo accidentally left the door unlocked and an off-duty police officer came inside. Lorenzo stuffed the cash in his pockets because evidently he forgot to bring a bag. In walked this off-duty police officer, who pulled his gun. The two exchanged fire, and then Lorenzo and his brother escaped through the front door, dropping $2,700 of the $6,700 they were trying to steal, mostly because of the lack of a bag. Shortly after the robbery, Lorenzo was placed on the Most Wanted list and was captured a few months later after DNA and fingerprint evidence linked him to the crime. Robbed an armory because of the Vietnam War. More than 500 people have been placed on the FBI's Most Wanted list since it first became a thing back in 1950. The vast majority of those people have been male — the number of women on the FBI's Most Wanted list didn't even hit double digits until 2016. In 1970, an anti-war activist named Katherine Ann Power, her roommate, and three male friends robbed a National Guard armory and bank because screw the Vietnam War. According to People , the quintet hoped to use the money, which amounted to about $26,000, to buy arms for the Black Panthers. But things went horribly wrong and the group was thwarted by a police officer named Walter Schroeder. As 21-year-old Power sat in the getaway car, one of her co-conspirators shot Schroeder in the back so the group could escape. The three men were arrested a couple days later, but Power and her roommate, Susan Saxe, vanished and were placed on the Most Wanted list. Power remained at large for 23 years. She changed her name, moved to Oregon, opened a restaurant, got married, and became a mother. But she was haunted by the memory of her crime, and ultimately decided to turn herself in. In 1993 she pleaded guilty to charges of manslaughter and armed robbery, was sentenced to prison, and served six years of an 8- to 12-year prison sentence. Also robbed that darn armory because of the Vietnam War. Susan Saxe was the roommate of Katherine Power and was accused of the same crime. She was on the run, too, but only stayed ahead of police for five years. By the time Katherine Power turned herself in, Saxe had already served time in prison for the crime and was living as a free woman. In fact, while in prison in the early 1980s, Saxe also ran a successful computer company. A 1975 article in the New York Times said that in the first years after their crime, Saxe and Power were able to avoid authorities with the help of some people "within the women's movement," which does sort of sound like something a newspaper would say in the '70s, back when law-abiding citizens never did things like ask for equal rights and better pay. According to Rolling Stone , Saxe was living in Philadelphia when a police officer recognized her in an FBI photograph. She was evidently walking around downtown Philadelphia when the officer spotted and arrested her. She served eight years of a 12- to 14-year sentence and was released in 1982.
