6 Victor Gerena

Victor Manuel Gerena is a wanted criminal who is responsible for the White Eagle armed robbery which took place in early September of 1983 in West Hartford, Connecticut. He has long been suspected to be hiding in Cuba and is the last of the suspects related to this robbery who still remains free.

He was a security guard at the Wells Fargo bank, and with the help of a few other accomplices, Victor was able to rob the bank of seven million dollars, which to this date remains the biggest cash sum successfully robbed on US soil.

He reportedly tied and gagged two of his co-workers, James McKeon and Timothy Girard, injected them with a mixture of water and aspirin with the hopes of sedating them, and then robbed the place.

He is said to have received help from a group called “Los Macheteros” who reportedly helped him take the money out of US soil. While the members of this group were eventually caught one by one, Victor has managed to stay a fugitive to this day. He has been featured in the FBI Top Ten Most Wanted List as its 386th fugitive entrant. (1, 2, 3)

Arnoldo got married to Estrella on May 11, 2012, at Chicago City Hall. Carrera had two children, a daughter from her previous relationship and a two-year-old son with Jimenez.

They reportedly had a gathering with their family and friends post-marriage, then visited a nightclub, and are said to have left at around 4 a.m. in Jimenez’s Maserati.

10 Bhadreshkumar Chetanbhai Patel

Bhadreshkumar Chetanbhai Patel is a criminal evading arrest for the murder of his wife Palak, who he arrived within the USA from India. They both worked in a Dunkin’ Donuts Store and were both there on April 12, 2015, when Palak was in the kitchen of the store.

Bhadreshkumar was 24 years old and Palak 21, when this incident occurred. The couple were from India but were visiting some of their relatives residing in Hanover, Maryland. It is said that they both eventually decided to work at a Dunkin’ Donuts store owned by one of their relatives.

On the day of the murder, recovered surveillance footage shows both Bhadreshkumar and Palak going into the kitchen at around 9:30 p.m., but only him returning from there. Since he was not a suspect for the hours it took to eventually find her body, he easily escaped.

It was speculated that the two had disagreements on staying in the USA, which is what caused their argument and her subsequent murder.

It is said that his visiting visa had expired and that he is still hiding somewhere in the USA. His name was added as the 514th entry into the FBI’s Most Wanted Top Ten list on April 18, 2017. (1, 2, 3)
