How do you end up on a Most Wanted Poster?

Behind every face there’s a story. Some read like film scripts as we enter the ruthless, shameless world of fugitives who’ve been hunted by police around the world. As the infamous "Ostrich man" steps off a concord flight, he’s pretending to be someone else, then there’s a tap on his shoulder...his past is about to catch up with him. But just how did a small- town conman become an international criminal?
