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. vs 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. and 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. vs 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. I goes vote for Browning and the duo of Ledford and Moore |

I realized this wasn't moving, so I concluded the round after way too long! Billy Eugene Browning wins 2 to 1, and Ledford and Moore advance 3 to 0.
John T Midgette, #306, Jne 1, 1994
A delusional man who kept a hit list of 7 people he was convinced were plotting against him. In circa 1989, his boss, a Virginia road building contractor, was found murdered in a ditch. In February 1990, he was acquitted by reason of insanity in his boss' murder, and was taken to a mental hospital. In early 1994, his security status was relaxed, and on April 23, he escaped the unfenced psychiatric prison after working a canteen shift. The victim's relatives had to change their names, take leave from their jobs, flee their homes, and go into hiding for about a month before he was busted in North Carolina.
vs
Jeffrey A Belpulsi, #382, Oct 19, 1995
In July 1991, he strangled his sister to death with a phone cord as she and her fellow tenants kicked him out of their apartment in Ohio. He was busted in Tennessee. Depending on whether he and #381 were busted in the same city, it could be a similar "24 hours, 2 captures, 2 unrelated cases, 1 city" takedown as Steven Frank Valadez (#872) and Israel Barretero (#873) a decade later.
and
Shar-Ron Eugene Buie, #319, Spt 26, 1994
A temperamental former marine. After his divorce, he invaded his ex-wife's house and opened fire, hoping to kill her. He killed a male friend of hers (not a romantic partner) in front of her young child. He was busted in Gary, Indiana.
vs
Daniel Scott Harney, #335, Jnr 7, 1995
A former financial administrator. On Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) 1994, he killed his ex-wife and wounded another man in Maryland, then took his two sons on the run. He had just enough time to take the boys to Disney World and retreat into a Charlotte, North Carolina motel before AMW tipsters busted him after just 13 days on the run.
I need to reserve my vote until I see a more convincing argument.

I vote for Midgette in the first contest because he was said to have escaped from a mental institution. Both dangerous guys, but I think he was the bigger threat, especially with a list of other names he wanted dead.
And I vote for Harney because although he didn't harm his kids and placed them at Disney World, he still put them at grave risk by kidnapping them in addition to his murders.

Midgette and Harney advance!
Matthew Gerard Duerr, #342, Fbr 4, 1995
A young transient skilled in living off the land. In circa October 1991, he was arrested for public drunkenness, and his favorite World War II dagger was confiscated. In late September 1992, he and a friend shot a man to death and threw his body down an embankment when they couldn't retrieve the $130 to pay for the dagger. In September 1993, he was working at a ranch and almost caught, but fled again. He was busted camping on the southwestern Oregon coast. That June, he pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter and got 16 years in prison.
vs
Sebastian Eccleston, #372, Jly 27, 1995
In December 1994, he killed an Albuquerque, New Mexico high school star in a drive-by shooting a few minutes after a heated exchange. Sentenced to 3 decades to life, he escaped prison by sliding down a pole to freedom. He was busted in New York, and later was given a plea deal that will allow him parole in circa 2030.
and
Paul Moroz, #363, May 13, 1995
In October 1993, he stabbed a man and a secretary at a Baltimore car insurance company. The man died, but the woman survived. He was busted in Venice, California, doing handiwork for a ministry.
vs
Thomas Scott Smithson, #391, Dcb 6, 1995
A man of mystery who killed a Florida hitchhiker following a robbery. His favorite song was "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, which he sang often. An AMW tipster in Millcreek, Pennsylvania heard him singing it and busted him.
My votes go to Eccleston for killing a younger victim and Moroz for a casualty toll of 1 dead, 1 wounded.

Eccleston advances 0 to 5, and Smithson defeats Moroz 2 to 3.
Patrick and Darlene Dickinson, #384/#385, Nvb 9, 1995
A former Kissimmee, Florida police explorer manager disgraced in Osceola County, Florida's biggest child rape conspiracy ever. Patrick and Darlene collaborated in a scheme to rape upwards of 50 underage boys in the Police Explorer program. They jumped bail in September 1994. They were busted in Buffalo, New York, under a fake surname with their 3 daughters.
vs
Rickey Allen Bright, #395, Jnr 7, 1996
A convicted pedophile on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. In October 1995, he abducted a 9 year old girl from a trailer in North Carolina, took her to Charleston, West Virginia, and beat and raped her before releasing her. He was a person of interest in a similar sexual attack. He was busted in Nashville, Tennessee, where he'd been drumming for a local bar band.
and
John William Ed Childers, #300, Apl 16, 1994
For years, his marriage to his wife had been on the rocks, riddled with screaming matches. In 1983, he stabbed her to death and dumped her body in a septic tank. His then 5 year old son witnessed the murder and ran out into the street screaming. He was profiled on AMW several times, and he would watch each broadcast, see where tipsters were leading law enforcement, and act upon it in order to stay on the run... until April 1994, when he missed a broadcast, and was busted outside his last girlfriend's home in Jacksonville, Florida after a night of dancing in a ballroom. He was in terrible health, ridden by tobacco, booze, and fat foods.
vs
Marvin Earl "Smash" Wooten, #376, Spt 3, 1995
An underling of "The Name" Ruffin, a drug trafficker posing as a community leader in a Connecticut slum. During a birthday celebration on the 4th of July weekend in 1993, his higher-ups were seeking revenge on a rival Jamaican gang. They charged into an apartment courtyard and picked a shootout with their rivals, during which a 7 year old girl was fatally shot. He was busted in Akron, Ohio and served 15 years in prison on an involuntary manslaughter charge. At the beginning of 2013, he was arrested again on a crack cocaine charge.
My votes go to Patrick Dickinson for sexually assaulting over 50 children, and John William "Ed" Childers because he was a 100-multiple capture, and it wasn't "Smash" Wooten's bullet that killed the girl, so Wooten got convicted on a lesser charge.

Patrick and Darlene Dickinson and John William Ed Childers advance 3 to 0!
Edward "Fast Eddie" Mayrand, #343, Fbr 4, 1995
A wandering convicted rapist. In December 1994, he killed a woman in Providence, Rhode Island after meeting her at a bar, then dismembered her body. He was busted in a New Haven, Connecticut homeless shelter.
vs
William Cody Harvey, #389, Nvb 29, 1995
In late June 1992, in rural West Virginia, he killed a woman who claimed to have AIDS. He didn't flee far, and was busted there in West Virginia.
and
Juan "Porky" Garcia, #352, Fbr 26, 1995
He unwittingly dated a transgender woman in El Paso, Texas, but eventually found out he'd been kissing someone who'd been born a man, and shot her dead. AMW tips led back to Texas where he was busted.
vs
Isaiah Clarence "Rusty" Enault, #371, Jly 9, 1995
A violent homophobe and transient hitchhiker. In June 1993, he stabbed a man to death in Washington. The argument started over something the victim said or did that Enault mistook for a sexual advance. Sent to a mental hospital to measure his competency to stand trial, he scaled up a fence and ran off into the woods that November, shortly before he was found competent to stand trial in absentia. AMW tips led cops to Tampa, Florida, where he was in jail on prostitution charges.
First, I'll vote for Fast Eddie for slicing up the body after killing his victim. Second, two examples of profound anti-LGBT violence, but I'll vote for Rusty for escaping from a mental hospital, and getting caught in jail on newer prostitution charges.
