Five Fugitives Still on the Run Across the World

Those who choose a life of crime attempt to ensure that law enforcement will not find them. While some are successful, most are not. Humans make mistakes, and law enforcement can pick up on those mistakes. Those captured end up in jail or some other place that makes them break.

Those who are not caught are usually smart, lucky, or even had a lengthy escape plan already planned. They typically have a large criminal support group for when they plan their escape. These are five fugitives that have still not been caught.

Joseph Kony is the leader of the guerilla army known as the Lord's Resistance Army. The group has dedicated their life to creating a theocratic government in Uganda. However, they are attempting to establish this government through brutal methods. Under Kony's leadership, the LRA has kidnapped children and displaced millions of people. He has controlled the abduction of 60,000 people. He has even ordered children to murder their own parents. Governments around the world have been hunting Kony for years, and now he is wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
