Frederick J. Tenuto[1] (born January 20, 1915) was a New York City mobster and criminal who was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list for over a decade, the longest on record at the time.

[3] Tenuto was a career criminal who was believed by police to have served as a hit man in several organized crime murders.

[4] Tenuto escaped from the Philadelphia County Prison in a jailbreak with four other inmates including bank robber Willie "The Actor" Sutton on February 10, 1947.

Eluding authorities for several years, Sutton was eventually identified in early 1952 while riding in a New York City Subway train by Brooklyn resident Arnold Schuster.

After Schuster was murdered following a television interview, authorities suspected Tenuto of the killing, supposedly on the orders of New York mobster Albert Anastasia.
