- In 1961, the United States FBI, under Director J. Edgar Hoover, continued for a twelfth year to maintain a public list of the people it regarded as the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. Throughout the year 1961, six of the ten places on the list remained filled by these elusive long-time fugitives from prior years, then still at large:
* 1950 #14 (eleven years), Frederick J. Tenuto remains at large
* 1952 #36 (nine years), James Eddie Diggs process dismissed December 14, 1961
* 1954 #78 (seven years), David Daniel Keegan remains at large
* 1956 #97 (five years), Eugene Francis Newman remains at large
* 1960 #137 (one year), Donald Leroy Payne remains at large
* 1960 #143 (one year), John B. Everhart remains at large But with frequent ongoing captures leading to high turnover in the remaining four slots, in total, the FBI added 17 new fugitive Top Tenners to the list in 1961. Halfway through the year, there was another "first" for the top Ten list, as Richard Laurence Marquette became the FBI's first "special addition," bringing the total number count of wanted fugitives up to eleven on a temporary basis in 1961.
