Biography

Leo Frederick Burt was a University of Wisconsin student who participated in two bombings as part of a group of radical anti-war activists. A federal grand jury indicted Burt on September 2, 1970 for sabotage, destruction of government property and conspiracy causing him to go underground. The FBI subsequently placed him on its Ten Most Wanted list. He is believed to be in hiding in Canada where he remains to this day.

Documented case history

The FBI poster lists April 18, 1948 and April 15, 1950 as dates of birth used and Eugene Donald Fieldston as an alias. Its September 2, 1970 federal indictment is not an arrest or prison admission. One portrait is labeled 1969; the other two are explicitly age-progressed illustrations, not actual contemporary photographs.
