The Twelve Centuries of Direct Captures Contest

I go to vote for Wade Meisberger and Boston in this one

Stephen Leslie Wilson, #200, Apl 2, 1992
In the 1970's, after he got married, he started acting extremely strange, especially with how he antagonized and killed the family dog. After their breakup, in late May 1979, he shot his ex father in law to death. In August 1984, he escaped from California's Folsom Prison. Over the next 7.6 years, he repeatedly bragged that he'd never be caught. A lead from an AMW tipster had him followed to his girlfriend's motel room in London, England, where he was taken into custody. He's now serving life in prison.

Joseph Marshall, #255, Apl 8, 1993
In 1977, he took part in a robbery spree in Cleveland, Ohio. The crime wave ended in a family business grocery store where one of his partners in crime shot a 16 year old girl dead as she rushed to protect her family. Cops rounded up his partners in crime, but Marshall got away. He was busted in California.

and

Marc Adams, #266, Jly 16, 1993
The notorious part of his criminal history started in the 1970's when he became a serial robber targeting teenagers. In 1979, he shot at 3 teen boys in Modesto, California. The casualty toll was 1 dead, 1 wounded, 1 unharmed. The policeman who responded to the scene was the mortal victim's uncle. In 1986, he escaped from the infamous San Quentin prison, one of the only criminals to manage this feat. Starting in 1987, he'd lived as a model citizen of Puerto Rico for about 6 years before AMW tipsters busted him. A few years later, he died in a prison fight.

Magaly Isumy Gonzalez-Carr, #287, Nvb 10, 1993
Throughout 1990, she stole 1 Megadollar from her business partner, the founder of a British surgical supply company. When he flew in to Miami to confront her, she and 2 other men shot him dead outside his plane just as he flew in. Gonzalez-Carr was the last of the 3 suspects still at large. AMW busted her in Sarasota, Florida. When her arresting officer asked who she was, she said, "You know who I am."

My votes go to Joseph Marshall and Marc Adams for the murders of children under 18.

vs

Donald Waterhouse, #270, Oct 6, 1993

My votes go to Arvis Michael Sexton for his higher casualty toll and Irving Jones because he was busted at his mother's funeral.

Sexton and Jones as well.

Sexton and Jones win by 4 to 0 shut outs.

Robert Joseph Moody, #289, Jnr 5, 1994
A former financial analyst. In autumn 1993, he murdered 2 women in Tucson, Arizona over 2 weeks, then tied up his family and stole their car to flee a month later. He went to Orange County, California and claimed he was suffering from amnesia, and an AMW viewer recognized him.

vs

Martin Rasim Bulichi, #297, Oct 30, 1993
A self-employed machinist. In August 1993, two men in his Washington State neighborhood renovated their garage into a makeshift disco hall. The loud music led to an argument between the men and Rasim-Bulichi. It quickly got out of hand, and he killed one of them and a woman with gunshots to the head. He found out he was scheduled for an AMW airing 3 days before the show, and surrendered in Snohomish, Washington. He got life with no chance of parole.

and

John Wesley Amunson, #232, Dcb 6, 1992
A Texas drifter. On Veteran's Day 1992, he beat and stabbed an 11 year old boy to death. AMW tipsters led law enforcement to Daytona Beach, Florida, where he was in jail for driving drunk without a license. He was sentenced to life in prison.

vs

David Connell Cox, #275, Nvb 19, 1993
In the first Unknown homicide case without even an alias solved by AMW, a 14 year old runaway girl named Naomi McMahill was murdered in 1981, and her body was found buried in a cement culvert on a rural Oregon road. AMW tipsters identified Connell-Cox as the killer, and he was busted in the northern highlands of California. He was reduced to hearing aides and crutches by the time he was busted.

First, I'll vote for Moody because he was a former financial analyst and showed how treacherous he was by tying up his family and stealing the car to flee. Second, I'll vote for Connell-Cox because it was a cold case Unknown murder of a teenage child, solved without an alias.

My first vote goes to Baluchi partially because I'm sentimental from remembering his Final Justice airing but also because the pettiness of the crime showed how dangerous he truly was.

Second vote is for Connell-Cox as well.
