Background
editA former police officer and detective in Orlando, Florida,[2] Clouser was added on the list on January 7, 1965 and removed when a federal process against him was dismissed in 1972.[3] He was previously committed to a mental hospital after being arrested for kidnapping and armed robbery, which he later escaped in April 1964.[4][5] Clouser surrendered to law enforcement on August 21, 1974. He later authored a book, The Most Wanted Man in America detailing the time he eluded authorities while on the list.[6]
