The U.S. Marshals Service is eyeing a makeover of its Most Wanted Fugitives list.
Gadyaces S. Serralta, the service’s director, said the traditional list of 15 has become stagnant and will be expanded.
“We have the same 15 Most Wanted and you can go a whole career and not have a 15 Most Wanted in your state — so we are actually reviewing how we do things,” he told Seen, Heard & Whispered. “Those 15 are not going to be off the hook, but we are going to open up our nets and we are going to make a broader list of individuals who are wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service.”
He said his agency’s longest-running fugitive case dates back to 1988.
Larry Porter Chism escaped in 1978 from a county jail in Arkansas, where he was serving a 40-year prison sentence for narcotics and armed robbery, plus an additional 30 years for kidnapping and hijacking an airplane.

During his escape, he shot and injured a correctional officer.
Chisolm, who would be nearly age 77, may be using aliases Kenneth Brookins and Jack Coffman.
The feds are offering a $25,000 reward for his arrest.
The biggest reward on the board, $50,000, is for Lester Eubanks, who would be 82, and who disappeared while on a furlough from a conviction for murdering a 14-year-old in Ohio.
