The Twelve Centuries of Direct Captures Contest

I voted for Barone

And the winner for Best Capture of the 3rd Century of Captures besides Kenneth Allen McDuff is fellow serial killer Cesar Barone! Thanks everyone for voting, and the preliminary bracket for the 4th century will be posted within the next few days!

Dan, I already explained to you that list was deleted because it was off-topic and had nothing to do with what we were trying to do- vote in a round. 912th will handle the lists and you can make your suggestions afterwards.

Sorry about that, I want to help you guys

It's ok, now is the time to make your suggestions if you wish.

Forgot to say I have no qualms with the list.

Time to get it started!

Billy Eugene Browning, #360, Apl 25, 1995
A serial rapist whose MO was sweet-talking his victims and threatening to kill them if they didn't submit. In his worst attack, he enlisted the help of a 17 year old girl to pick up a truck from Alabama. Instead, he drove her into a forest, led her into a ramshackle house, and raped and sodomized her. He was arrested in Mississippi the following April, then escaped from an Alabama prison the following October. In Florida, a 12 year old boy became upset after recognizing his neighbor as Browning from the show, and called the hotline. Cops chased Browning until he was pulled from underneath a trailer. The city hall rewarded the 12 year old boy with a plaque a few weeks later.

Paul H Plouffe, #388, Nvb 26, 1995
A former TV performer. In 1983, he raped a woman in Columbia County, Maryland, but the case went cold. He was busted working as an apartment manager in North Adams, Massachusetts.

Diana Ledford and Timothy Moore, #316/#317, Spt 20, 1994
An odd couple of sex offenders. Ledford was a bisexual convicted forger, and Moore was a former gigolo. On Mischief Night (the night before Halloween) in 1992, the two raped a stranded TV news producer in Fort Smith, Arkansas. In August 1993, Moore made a failed attempt at the sexual murder of a pregnant woman in Lafayette, Louisiana. They were busted in Tallahassee, Florida, where they were working at a Capital Recycling Center. At the place they were renting, their extended-stay hosts had been asking them to leave until AMW led to there.

William Thomas "T-Bone" Bell, #381, Oct 19, 1995
A member of the Gangster Disciples. Two runaway girls were roaming the streets, completely broke, when T-Bone pulled up to them in a Cadillac, offering to take them home. One girl set off the alarm, and T-Bone forced them to make him some money as street prostitutes. During their 4 nights in a motel, T-Bone and his accomplice beat and further abused the girls. The men left, and the girls called law enforcement, and cooperated to set a trap, quickly taking down T-Bone's accomplice. One of the girls was soon reunited with her family, but the other returned to the streets. He was busted in Tennessee.

Paul H Plouffe used to be a TV performer, and someone born in the 1950s might remember seeing him on a game show in the 70s. I'm leaning towards him, but will need a more convincing argument. And I'm leaning towards Ledford and Moore because Ledford was a sex offender-ess who took part in the sexual assault of a TV news producer, then Moore tried to sexually murder a woman and her fetus, but they presumably survived.
