FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives by year, 1956

In 1956, the United States FBI, under Director J. Edgar Hoover, continued for a seventh year to maintain a public list of the people it regarded as the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.

At only five new additions that year, 1956 became the shortest list of new Top Tenners added by the FBI in a single year up to that time. 1956 is also notable as the first year in which a Top Tenner made a second appearance on the list. That fugitive, Nick George Montos, the first new addition in 1956 as Fugitive #94, had also appeared four years earlier as Fugitive #37 on the 1952 list. Such second appearances on the FBI list were to become, curiously, not highly unusual in the early decades of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. However, although some fugitives were adept at repeated prison escapes, and some were repeat offenders upon release, none has yet managed to become a third timer to be listed on the FBI Ten list.
