One option is an error occurred in the game. Second option: The hunt for a fugitive is not about standing still. Once I stand 30 mins and do nothing and the wanted not show up. When You are in location you must take down enemies in that location. This location is large and there is no place from where you can see the entire location to find the "wanted fugitive". It may happen that there are other players in it and one of them will eliminate the target faster using super. The "fugitive wanted" appears between two public events. Or around on one of them. You can participate in public event, but you don't need, to the wanted man to show up. If for 15-20 minutes while you are active in an area (planet region), the wanted one does not appear, it usually means that another player has eliminated him at that time. If it happen then go do other activities and come back to look for the fugitive.
