Criminals who mysteriously disappeared
It's one thing to be a criminal. You live your life on the wild side and dance with the devil in the pale moonlight. Or you get caught at one point and you watch your criminal empire collapse. But there are those who escape justice, those who are never caught. Regardless of the size of their crimes, the fact that they managed to sow the police for a period of time is impressive. Here are some infamous criminals who were on the run for years at a time. Johnny Law could not catch up with them because they were brilliant or sometimes just dead hulks.
1 Szilveszter Matuska
Few people are as sick as Szilveszter Matuska. He said at his trial that he liked to see people die, to the point of getting a sensual gratification of it. But killing just one person at a time was not enough, so he designed train wrecks. In this way, he could see many people dying at once. I told you he was sick.
According to the crime magazine, he had the background for it to happen. Born in 1892, he trained as a mechanical engineer and may have been an explosives specialist in the Austro-Hungarian army during the First World War. Then he continued mining. But in the 1930s, he realized that his true passion was to derail trains.
He managed to blow up some before he was finally captured and charged for his crimes. Matuska fully admitted to what he had done, even the fact that he went on it, and said that God had told him to. He was sentenced to death, but was commuted to life in prison. He spent some time indoors before the Second World War allowed to escape. After that, no one knows what happened to him.
Matuska may have worked as an explosive expert for Russians at the end of the war, and there were rumors he fought with the Chinese during the Korean War. Whatever he ended up doing, we only have whispers. He was never captured.
2 Dawoud Ibrahim Klose
If you want to become a millionaire, tipping the police out of Dawoud Ibrahim Klose's whereabouts would not be a bad way to do it. This gangster has rewards on his head over $ 25 million from 2017. And he's worth a pretty Penny himself. According to the Birmingham courier, he is the second richest criminal ever to have lived after Pablo Escobar. It rolls into an illicit $ 6.7 billion dough. And he has 21 aliases, but above all he goes through the gift.
In this case, the apple fell away from the tree since his father was a policeman. Meanwhile Klose has a "Global Crime Empire" called D company that surrounds the world with property in 16 countries on five continents. While no one knows where he is, the UN thinks he is in Pakistan. He even has a place where he called the White House because why be subtle when you are the gift?
But Klose is wanted for bad things. He could have links to Al Qaeda and maybe behind a series of bombings in Mumbai in 1993 and 2008. He said he was a big fan of cricket, but of course he had to be all gangster about it and is sought for fixing some great games.
The United States officially declared him a world terrorist in 2013. Until he is caught, he will follow his other hobbies of drug trafficking and counterfeiting.
3 Rocco Perri
The United States was not the only country to go through prohibition. Canada also went through a dry spell and that meant that, from 1916, some people who were willing to break the law could get rich with Bootleg alcohol. At one point, bootleggers made about $ 1 million a month, even in 1920s dollars. An Italian immigrant found a niche for himself, and the Canadian "Whiskey King," Rocco Perri was born.
According to the CBC, Perri's work was not without danger. When his wife, who was heavily involved in the business, tried to expand into the narcotics zone, she was murdered and Perri was distraught (although some people think he might have something to do with his murder).
Perri himself would go down in history as the Canadian Jimmy Hoffa. He was there one day, then he left. If he was killed, no one has ever found the body, and if he went away into a new life, he did an incredible job of it. The Hamilton Spectator says it happened sometime in 1944. He was visiting his cousin when he decided to leave a headache. He had planned to be back in time for lunch, but lunch came and went and he never came back. 70 years later, no one knows exactly what happened to Perri, but his biographer likes to think that he was warned of a plot to kill him and used his links to flee to the United States.
4 Joseph Shexnider
Depending on the kind of lifestyle you lead, your family and friends may not be concerned if you suddenly disappear for 27 years. This is what happened to poor Joseph Shexnider, whose curriculum vitae passed, according to the telegraph, literally included "Running off to join the circus." ABC News says he also joined the National Guard at one point, so when he disappeared in 1984, his mother thought he was on another of his "rendezvous."
While only 22 at the time, Shexnider had good reasons to run away - if the long arm of the law scares you, it is. He was expected at the Tribunal for charges of possession of a stolen vehicle and he just does not have to show up. His parents assumed he was on the run, so they never reported missing him, even after almost three decades of not hearing about him.
But in 2011, the question of where their son had gone was answered. A bank was blowing a chimney to renovate the second floor when a very decomposed body was found inside. DNA tests proved it was Shexnider. While the police described it as "not your typical case," they refused to believe that this kid crawling into a bank by the fireplace and wearing gloves was planning to steal the place because he "n was not a bag. " his family was happy to have closure on what PAH happened to this criminal, even though it was tragic.
5 Matteo Messina Denaro
Matteo Messina Denaro is still an Italian crime boss in the classic sense. He was the head of the mafia family who was represented in the godfather books and movies. In 2014, an article by Guardian asked how long he could escape the capture, but the answer has been at least a few years since the police were still tearing Sicily for him according to a 2017 article by Sky News.
When you're only 55 and you've been wanted by the police since you're 31, your life has been pretty much a crash course in the police race. That's what Denaro, who got the cool nickname "Diabolik" has been learning for the past 24 years. What is needed to stay hidden for so long? It helps to be completely out of the grid. He used the Old "pizzini" method, writing his orders on small pieces of paper and hiding them under a rock on a farm.
Despite being on the run, he said to enjoy fast cars and women and just kill so many people. So he is not the Robin Hood hero that he sees himself. But he's very good in hiding, that's for sure.

6 Omid Tahvili
Tahvili is a good actor. According to the Globe and Mail, he was dressed as a very convincing concierge, as he was quietly strolling through a $ 49 million prison in 2007. He helped that he had bribed a guard with $ 50,000 to open doors for him . To keep the disguise for the 100 security cameras that were literally watching him get out of the place unmolested, he would stop and mop the floor once in a while.
Acting had helped get away with his biggest scam as well. He looked like a big respectable Iranian businessman while managing a car rental shop in British Columbia. But Iranian.com says he was secretly a scammer all the time, calling the elderly citizens and telling them they had won or were about to win a lottery. They just had to give some money for him to secure their winnings. Of course, these gains were totally imaginary. But he has also been charged with crimes such as kidnapping, illegal isolation, assault with a weapon, sexual assault, the threat and the use of an imitation pistol. Tahvili was not a good guy.
As of 2018, he is still on the run, which means he's been on the run for over a decade. Someone checked on Broadway?
7 The three escapes of Alcatraz
One of the most famous prisons in the world must be Alcatraz. Located in the middle of the freezing cold of San Francisco Bay, it was known as the place where you put people if you wanted them to stay put. Over the past 30 years, there have been 36 escape attempts. They were mostly very bad. Twenty-three were immediately captured, six were killed during capture attempts, and two others drowned. But three guys might just have done it, and if they did, they are some of the most successful escapes ever.
According to CBS News, their names were John Anglin, Clarence Anglin and Frank Morris. They did their planning well. They used information from the library to learn how to build rafts. To make sure no one missed them the night they tried to escape, they built paper mache heads that were painted with skin color and had real human hair on them. The chiefs had to work because the guards did not notice anything until the next morning. They squeezed through a cement wall and used pipes to get him on the roof. Then they shimmied a fireplace. They made a raft using 50 raincoats and caught the driftwood for paddles.
It is possible that they left at the right time and that they took advantage of the tide, which made it easy to land. Others think they succumbed to hypothermia. In any case, they have never been seen again.
8 Abbie Hoffman
It's one thing to be a fugitive criminal. This is another thing to be known as America's "most accessible fugitive." but it was the nickname Hoffman had for him during the years he was on the run.
According to the Washington Post, Hoffman was wanted for jumping on bail and drug trafficking. They might not seem the worst accusations ever, but they carried a life sentence possible. He was on the run for six and a half years before deciding to give up. In the meantime, he has managed to do interviews with everyone from the Playboy-related press to the local gossip columnists. He called reporters to complain whenever he did not like a story written about him. Just before he finally went to the police, he chatted with Barbara Walters.
But nobody knew where he was all the time. It was pretty well established that he was living in New York State somewhere, but the Feds could never find him. He called himself "Barry" and took care of himself. He even testified before the Congress on water issues and took a photo with a senator who had no idea he was a wanted man. He also claimed to have gone around the FBI as his alter ego. He helped that he had probably had plastic surgery, but Hoffman was still blatant.
By 1980 when he surrendered, the excesses of the hippie movement did not seem so bad, and he served only four months in prison.
9 Aribert Heim
When you get the nickname "Dr. Death," you know you have not been a Saint in life. Aribert Heim worked as a doctor in concentration camps during the Second World War, where he earned the nickname sobriety. Unfortunately, he managed to escape after the end of the war. But it was an evil guy he was the most wanted Nazi war criminal ever suspected of being alive and hiding.
The crimes for which he was wanted were troubling. According to the New York Times, he was accused of taking organs in perfect health "donors" and let them die on the operating table. He was known to inject poison into the hearts of living victims. And since he was so proud of the things he did, heim took at least one skull as a souvenir of his work. When we are among the worst Nazis, it's pretty bad.
Heim was thought to be located in Latin America, but until the 1960s, he managed to live a decent life in Germany itself. Once the cops closed on him, he fled to Egypt. There, he converted to Islam and walked 15 miles a day to care. The neighbors knew him as Tarek Hussein Farid, the guy who would not let anyone photograph him. He died in 1992 and was never captured.
10 D.B. Cooper
Perhaps one of the most infamous missing criminals of all time was known as D.B. Cooper. Nobody knows who he was, and he has been officially on the run for more than 45 years. It was not until 2016 that the FBI finally stopped looking for Cooper after one of the longest active searches in his history.
According to the New York Times, Cooper was cool as a cucumber when he snatched a diversion in 1971. He was wearing a suit and was carrying a briefcase when he bought a one-way ticket to Portland Airport. While waiting for the plane to take off, he ordered a drink. Once in the air, he gave the flight attendant a note saying he had a bomb in his briefcase. He wanted a parachute and $ 200,000. What he did not want was hostages, so he let everyone go once they landed in Seattle. He got what he wanted, then told the pilot to fly to Mexico, but never to go higher than 10,000 feet. Somewhere along the way, he took the parachute and the money and jumped off the plane. As far as the authorities know, he has never been heard again.
In 1980, a boy walking near the Columbia River found a bunch of $ 20 bills with serial numbers that corresponded to ransom money. No one has ever been found, and no one knows what happened to Cooper or the rest of the money.
