What about former fugitives?--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 02:02, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good question, I think that fugitives who have been captured or deceased such as these do belong to this category.

Disappeared people?

I may be nitpicking, but Fugitives are not strictly a subset of Category:Disappeared people, because:

Disappeared people has "Category for people who went missing and whose subsequent fate remains a mystery."
Fugitives has "This category is for individuals who are or were at large after fleeing from custody after an arrest, or are/were wanted for interrogation."
The location and fate of some fugitives were well-known (the searching authorities knew but could not apprehend)

I suggest either:

remove Fugitives from Category:Disappeared people;
or, change Fugitives to "Fugitives whose subsequent fate remains a mystery";
or, clarify both categories to make Fugitives fit the logic of Disappeared people.
