Ten Most Wanted Fugitive
The United States has escalated one of its most aggressive international manhunts, raising the reward for information leading to the capture of fugitive narcotics trafficker Ryan James Wedding to $15 million—a figure reserved only for the most dangerous global criminals. Federal officials described the move as a necessary escalation against a man they say is responsible for more than a billion dollars a year in cocaine distribution across North America, backed by political corruption, cartel protection, and murder-for-hire operations designed to silence anyone who crosses him.
Wedding, once a Canadian Olympic snowboarder, has become one of the most elusive narcotics traffickers operating between Colombia, Mexico, and Canada. His transformation from athlete to international fugitive reflects the scale of his ambition and the violence he is willing to deploy to maintain control of a trafficking empire that allegedly moves hundreds of kilograms of cocaine at a time, routing shipments from Colombia through Mexico and Southern California before flooding markets across Canada and the United States.
Federal officials say the empire is protected by layers of cartel alliances, corrupt intermediaries, and a network of enforcers capable of extreme violence. In the latest indictments unsealed this month, U.S. authorities accused Wedding of orchestrating the assassination of a potential federal witness in Medellín, Colombia. The witness—expected to testify against him—was executed with five shots to the head. According to investigators, the murder was carried out before prosecutors could secure his cooperation, and the operation was allegedly coordinated with the help of individuals close to Wedding, including his own legal counsel.
At a joint press conference in Washington, D.C., officials from both the United States and Canada described Wedding as a narcotics trafficker on the same operational tier as infamous cartel leaders. They stated that his network was responsible for distributing 60 metric tons of cocaine annually, supported by the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico, where he is believed to be hiding under their protection.
Federal agencies across multiple jurisdictions have now converged to tighten the net around him. The Justice Department, FBI, State Department, Treasury Department, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have aligned their investigative, financial, and international enforcement assets to disrupt his operation and capture him. Treasury sanctions isolated Wedding from U.S.-connected financial channels, freezing assets linked to him and choking off pathways used to launder drug proceeds. Diplomatic and foreign narcotics bureaus have increased support and surveillance across likely regions in Mexico where he may be operating under cartel shelter.
The FBI describes Wedding as a high-risk target: 6 feet 3 inches, approximately 240 pounds, and capable of altering his appearance if pressured. They warn the public not to approach him under any circumstances. Authorities emphasized that Wedding’s ability to evade capture so far is not a sign of weakness in the investigation, but rather a reflection of the resources and violent protection surrounding him.
This case is now one of the most closely watched manhunts on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list, not only because of the scale of the narcotics trafficking but also because of the murder allegations tied directly to witness intimidation—a line federal authorities consider an attack on the justice system itself.
The reward increase marks a turning point. These figures are reserved for fugitives whose capture is considered critical to public safety and international stability. Federal agents made it clear: the window for Wedding to hide is narrowing, and the global investigative dragnet will continue tightening around him until the case is resolved.
For now, the message from investigators remains clear and unwavering:
“We will find him, and we will bring him to justice.”

I know this is at least your second story on this guy as reward money escalates. I like the message from investigators:
“We will find him, and we will bring him to justice.”
I pray that no one is hurt when this guy is finally found.
Thank you for the articles you’ve shared today, John. They are very informative as always. I hope you have a good evening. May God bless you and your family!
You’re very welcome, Chris — and you’re right, this is the second time his case has surfaced, and the reward climbing this fast tells you everything about how seriously they’re taking it now. That message from investigators says it all: they’re not backing off, and they’re not slowing down. They’re pushing this manhunt until the door finally closes on him, and they should. A fugitive operating at this level is incredibly dangerous.
I share that same hope — that when they do catch up to him, no one gets hurt in the process. Situations like this can turn volatile in seconds, especially with someone who’s already shown he’s willing to run, hide, and escalate to stay free.
Thank you again for always taking the time to read and share your thoughts, Chris. My evening has been pretty good so far, and I hope your evening has been good too. May God bless you and your family as well. 😎
You’re welcome, John, and thank you for putting this guy’s picture out there. I’m sure that someone is going to see this picture somewhere and this guy is going to be spotted. I’ll pray that God will keep whoever has to confront this man safe.
I’m glad you are having a good evening. Mine has been good as well. Thank you for your kind words and, as always, God’s blessings…
He looks like any man walking down the street! Ugh
You’re right about that, Sheila — someone like him can blend in almost anywhere. That’s what makes cases like this so difficult. On paper he’s one of the most wanted fugitives out there, but in public he can pass as just another person walking by. That ability to disappear into the crowd is one of the reasons he’s been able to avoid capture for so long.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts — always appreciated. I hope you have a great night. 😎
