In 1960, the
United States FBI , under DirectorJ. Edgar Hoover , continued for an eleventh year to maintain a public list of the people it regarded as the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.As 1960 began, seven of the ten places on the list remained filled by these elusive long-time fugitives, then still at large:
* 1950 #14 (ten years), Frederick J. Tenuto remained still at large
* 1952 #36 (eight years), James Eddie Diggs remained still at large
* 1954 #78 (six years), David Daniel Keegan remained still at large

* 1959 #112 (one year), Edwin Sanford Garrison arrestedSeptember 9 1960
* 1959 #116 (eight months), Billy Owens Williams arrestedMarch 4 1960 However, despite this already nearly full status of the list at the beginning of the year, by the end of the year, 1960 ended up with the greatest number of new fugitives to be added in any year, since the record-holding year of 1953 (24 additions). In all, the FBI added 22 new fugitive Top Tenners to the list in 1960.
