10 women who made the FBI's 'Most Wanted List'
Welcome to the club.
A Wisconsin woman who gunned down her mother’s pregnant neighbor became the 10th woman ever to be added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List on Tuesday.
Shanika S. Minor — who uses the alias Ida Jackson — is one of 509 fugitives that have been on the list since its inception in 1950, and one of only 10 women.
Meet the 10 ladies on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list:
Shanika S. Minor: The 24-year-old is accused of shooting her mother's nine-months-pregnant neighbor a week after Minor confronted the woman with a complaint about loud music. She has no previous criminal record. Minor first challenged the woman to a fight the night of March 5 with a semi-automatic gun in hand. She fired several shots into the air and left the scene at her mother's request. Hours later, Minor entered the woman's home and fired a round at the woman's chest.
Brenda Delgado: Delgado allegedly hired a hitman to kill a popular Dallas pediatric dentist, who was dating Delgado's ex-boyfriend. According to Dallas Police, Kendra Hatcher was shot in the parking garage of her Uptown apartment building. Delgado, was arrested in Mexico in April after being placed on the FBI's most wanted list.
Shauntay L. Henderson: Henderson was on the Most Wanted list for one day in 2007 before she was captured in connection with shooting and killing a man. The Kansas City woman was also credited with spurring gang violence in the city, Newsweek reported.
Donna Jean Willmott: Willmott and her partner, Claude Daniel Mark, were wanted for planning to help a Puerto Rican nationalist leader escape a Kansas prison, CBS reported. The pair were placed on the Ten Most Wanted list in 1987, but turned themselves in on Dec. 6, 1994, according to the FBI.
Katherine Ann Power and Susan Edith Saxe: The college roommates were placed on the list in 1970 for taking part in a bank robbery along with several ex-convicts. One of the men killed a Boston police officer during the robbery and Power and Saxe disappeared. Saxe was captured several years after the robbery and Power turned herself in 1993, the New York Times reported.
Bernardine Rae Dohrn: Dohrn was placed on the Ten Most Wanted list in 1970 for her connection with Weather Underground, a group responsible for protests and violence in response to government activity and the Vietnam war. Dohrn told PBS she was taken off the list when federal indictments against her were dropped because of “governmental misconduct.” Dohrn went on to become a Northwestern University school of law professor.
Angela Yvonne Davis: In 1970, Davis was a former UCLA philosophy instructor, who was wanted after guns she purchased were used in an armed escape attempt. She went on the run, and was arrested in a hotel room in NYC the same year, according to the FBI. She was acquitted of the charges against her and is now a prominent author, scholar and activist.
Marie Dean Arrington: Arrington was the second woman to appear on the Ten Most Wanted list. She escaped a Florida facility where she was held for murdering a legal secretary. Arrington was on the run for several years, but arrested in 1971, according to the FBI.
Ruth Eisemann-Schier: Eisemann-Schier became the first woman on the Ten Most Wanted list after she and an accomplice kidnapped a wealthy real estate developer's daughter and held her ransom near Atlanta. In December of 1968, Eisemann-Schier and Gary Steven Krist kidnapped Barbara Mackle and buried her in a coffin equipped with ventilation tubes, a fan and food, according to the FBI. The girl was found alive and Eisemann-Schier was captured, along with her accomplice.
