Earlier we had a topic featuring other people named John Walsh, but after seeing a link today about Olympic figure skater Jason Brown, I decided to create this related topic about people who have the misfortune of sharing a name with an AMW fugitive.
Here's a couple from AMW itself:
Robert Fisher - A police officer in Ohio who pursued Terrence Washington during a high-speed chase in 2004. Fisher told AMW cameras how shocked he was that he had caught a fugitive on the program.
Edward Morris - One of Chaka Raysor's victims. He was beaten and stomped to death simply because Raysor believed he wasn't doing his hardest selling cocaine.
And just like John Walsh, I also knew somebody with the name of an AMW fugitive:
Donald Webb - Believe it or not, I actually knew somebody who was named Donald Webb, though he went by Don. He worked with my parents' business on a number of occasions. There's no way he was the fugitive though, as he's in his mid-50s and Webb would be in his 80s. Still weird though.
And one fictional character:
James Sullivan - Anyone who has seen either Monsters Inc. or Monsters University knows that Sully's real name is James Sullivan. But there's two things that make this even weirder; firstly, Sully's middle initial is "P," while the fugitive Sullivan's middle initial is "V." And if that weren't weird enough, there's a line in Monsters Inc. that's just too bizarre to ignore. Sully's talking to Mike and at one point he says something to the effect of, "The next day you're on Monstropolis' Most Wanted!" You have to wonder if one of the writers was a fan of AMW and wrote this in as an inside joke that only avid AMW fans would realize. Seriously, that's just way too bizarre of a coincidence.
Any others you can think of?
