  Wanted to provide an update on another AMW Capture,#343 Edward Mayrand who was busted by AMW in 1995 in CT for the murder of one woman(Patricia Paquette) but had long been a suspect in the murders of two other women,Kathleen Daneault on Nov. 17, 1983 and Judith Whitney on July 1st,1987, since he was the last person seen with both of them before their bodies were found.
But until advances in DNA testing came into play,there was no way to conclusively prove his guilt and those cases remained cold.
That changed after his death in prison in 2011 and by Dec 23rd of 2014,cops in NH and MA were able to prove his DNA was on both of the victims thus linking him to their deaths.
It does appear based on what investigators found that he isn't linked to any other murders but as with Charles Manley(who was linked to a murder 18 years prier to the one that got him on AMW),I have no doubt there are other victims as people just don't wake up when they are 40 and start killing.
In any case,I'm glad that Kathleen and Judith's families finally got answers as to who killed their loved ones and that he died in prison where he belonged.

 Found an update on another AMW Capture #219 Wade Russell Meisberger who was sentenced to 48 years for killing his best friend Michael Sawyer.
Due to a sentence reduction from 48 to 30 years,Meisberger was paroled in 2012 but quickly violated it by not checking with his parole officer and using a fake address.
He tried to fake his death then created a rambling youtube video where he claimed people were out to get him.
He was caught and served three more years in prison before being paroled again.
He claims to have finally gotten the mental health treatment he needed and now works as a speaker for the National Alliance on mental illness and prison groups to help others.
Let's hope he is truthful and is making the most of his third chance at life.

 Indiana's gain time laws until recently(they were changed in 2013)were among the most generous in the nation to inmates,even to ones who had committed violent crimes.
If you behaved every day,you would get three days cut off your sentence.
Participate in programs and you'd get even more time off.
It's how Meisberger and some of the other folks caught by AMW for crimes committed there (especially from the early years) are out now even though they got sentences ranging from 20-50 years.
Heck,if Sarah Pender hadn't escaped,she would have been out in the mid to late 2020's.

 I vaguely remember the case from Final Justice reruns but I didn't know about his recent legal troubles until this past week.

Some more updates on AMW Captures.
Amw Capture #427 - Stacey Ann Sapp - Update on the post from yesterday.
I was able to find out via Newslibrary(I have a pass) the details of Sapp's case.
The police suspected she was driving drunk(she was) and tried to pull her over.
She swerved to try and avoid them and as a result,her pickup truck flipped several times.
 That led to the death of her 18 year old female passenger,who was pronounced DOA at the hospital.

Amw Capture #420 Curtis Dupree and Amw Capture #421 Kelton Nakail Birdow - According to Newslibrary,Dupree and Birdow were originally featured on AMW as part of a crew of bungling robbers who ripped ATM machines machines from businessesand got identified due to them unloading the goods under a street light where cameras could record them as well as a license plate from the truck they used falling at one of the crime scenes as one of the ATMS they stole fell out of their truck and took the license plate with it.
No wonder they made they were shown on the World's Dumbest Criminals,the Maury Povich Show and finally AMW as laughing stocks.
When they were busted in Fort Worth together on May 16,1996 after AMW profiled,Dupree told the cops they and AMW were good at their jobs.
Wasn't able to find anything on what he got as punishment but he's out of prison as far as I can tell.

Not the case for Kelton Birdow.
Several of us have noted some AMW bad guys/gals have been linked to other crimes after they've been caught,whether by AMW or other means.
That was the case with Birdow.
More then two years after AMW caught him,he would be charged on May 28th 1998,with two counts of capital murder for a 1994 robbery in which he and another man(no one from the ATM crew) murdered a cook and shift manager at a Jack In The Box for $800 in cash.
 He would be found guilty and sentenced to life with the possibility of parole in 40 years,in his case 2038.
His case should serve as a warning.
At the time Birdow was making the rounds as a stupid idiot,no one(including the police who were using the media to try and find him and Dupree) knew he was linked to two brutal murders.
It's a reminder to all of us that people you think can't be dangerous actually are.

 Sad to say but given the area,it didn't surprise me at all.
Lots of anti-government folks in that area of NY.
I would say what set Birdow apart from other AMW guys(including the names you mentioned a few posts up) is that no one had a clue at the time he was involved in a double homicide.
He was a punchline until he wasn't.
