    Fidel Urbina, the subject of a nationwide manhunt since 1999 in connection with two sexual assaults and murder, has been named to the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.

    The former Chicago resident is wanted for allegedly beating and raping a woman in March 1998, and seven months later—while free on bond—for beating, raping, and strangling a second Chicago woman to death. That woman’s body was found in the trunk of a burned-out car.

    “Fidel Urbina is wanted for his role in two brutal attacks directed against innocent victims,” said Robert Grant, special agent in charge of our Chicago office. “These crimes have demonstrated his violent nature and the need to locate and apprehend him before he can strike again.

    We are hoping that the publicity associated with this case, along with the significant reward being offered, will lead to his arrest.”

    We are offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading directly to Urbina’s arrest. The fugitive, who is now 37 years old, is a Mexican national who is 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 170 pounds. He has black hair, brown eyes, and a noticeably pockmarked right cheek. He has been known to use numerous aliases, including the names Lorenzo Maes, Fernando Ramos, and Fidel Urbina Aquirre. Given the nature of the charges against him, Urbina should be considered armed and dangerous.


    The search for Urbina is being coordinated by our Violent Crimes Task Force (VCTF) in Chicago, which includes FBI agents, detectives from the Chicago Police Department, and Cook County Sheriff’s investigators.

    Special Agent Pablo Araya, fugitive coordinator for the VCTF, believes Urbina is hiding somewhere in Mexico. “Wherever he is,” Araya said, “my guess is that women are in danger there, because this guy has shown no remorse and isn’t likely to change his ways. That’s why we need to catch him.”

    A federal arrest warrant was issued for Urbina in 1999, and in 2006 a provisional arrest warrant was signed by a federal magistrate in Mexico. But despite law enforcement’s best efforts—which have included the case being profiled nationally on “America’s Most Wanted” and locally on “Chicago’s Most Wanted” television shows—the fugitive remains at large.

    We need your help.
    If you have any information about Fidel Urbina, please call the Chicago FBI at (312) 421-6700 or your nearest law enforcement agency or U.S. Embassy or Consulate. You can also submit a tip online.

    “He’s been on the run for over 10 years,” Araya said. “He may be hiding in Mexico thinking that he is safe, but our hope is that because of the Top Ten publicity, someone who knows him or who recognizes his picture will think about that $100,000 reward and give us a call.”
    Urbina is the 497th person to be placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Since its creation in 1950, 466 fugitives on the list have been apprehended or located—154 of them as a result of citizen cooperation.

    Alleged murderer and rapist added to FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list

    Alleged murderer and rapist added to FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list

    Fidel Urbina, 37, was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.

    Washington (CNN) -- The FBI has added an alleged murderer and rapist to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Fidel Urbina, a 37-year-old former Chicago resident was named to the roster Tuesday.

    Urbina was arrested in March of 1998 by the Chicago Police Department and charged with kidnapping, raping and brutally beating a woman.

    Urbina was free on bond and awaiting trial when he allegedly assaulted and bludgeoned to death 22-year Gabriella Torres. According to the FBI, Torres' body was found in the trunk of car that had been set on fire.

    Urbina, a Mexican national who was working in Chicago as a car mechanic, was charged with that crime as well, but authorities believe he had fled the state of Illinois.

    A federal arrest warrant was issued for Urbina in July 1999. In August 2006 a provisional arrest warrant also was issued in Mexico in case Urbina had returned to the land of his birth.

    "Fidel Urbina is wanted for his alleged role in two brutal attacks directed against innocent women," said Robert Grant, Special Agent-in-Charge of the FBI's Chicago Field Office. "These crimes have demonstrated his violent nature and the need to locate and apprehend Urbina before he can strike again."

    FBI officials hope renewed publicity about the fugitive will help, and is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to Urbina's arrest. Officials warn he should be considered armed and dangerous.

    The FBI describes Urbina as a Hispanic man who is around 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 170 pounds. He has black hair, brown eyes and a severely pockmarked right cheek.

    According to the FBI, Urbina has used alias names in the past including Lorenzo Maes, Fernando Ramos and Fidel Urbina Aguirre. The FBI says he could be residing in Durango, Mexico, but he also has ties to the Chicago area.

    Urbina is the 497th person to be named to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list since it was begun in 1950. He takes the spot briefly filled by Adam Christopher Mayes, who was wanted for the murder of a Tennessee woman and her daughter in late April and the kidnapping of the woman's two other children. Authorities say Mayes fatally shot himself as law enforcement officers were closing in on him.
