Fast Eddie and Rusty advance by a 4 to 0 shut-out!
David Askew, #310, Jly 12, 1994
A 17 year old tagger for the graffiti crew WDC, which stands for We Don't Care. He and his friends were looking to make a name for themselves beyond the infamy that scrawling their nicknames could provide. In November 1993, he shot and wounded a man in South Central Los Angeles. Less than a week later, he robbed, shot, and terminally wounded a man born in 1923 after a failed demand to be let in his house. In February 1994, he shot a man to death in an argument in his own home, then shot and wounded a witness. His total casualty toll was 2 dead, 2 wounded when AMW took the case on in March 1994. He was busted in California.
vs
Alshamoon Thompson, #398, Jnr 19, 1996
A Newark, New Jersey prison escapee. In April and November 1995, he attacked and shot a corrections officer, killed 2 drug addicts, and fired but missed at one other person. He was busted in Florida and was sentenced to 45 years to life.
and
Eric "Chinaman, Brooklyn Barry, The IRS" Vassell, #323, Spt 14, 1994
The head of Brooklyn's Gully Posse. Throughout the decade 198X, he made 10-20 Megadollars a year by trafficking drugs and guns, and through various white collar crimes. His tactics included keeping his soldiers under slavery-esque contracts, setting tight allowances on what they could provide for their families, and collecting debts in a brutal and stingy fashion. It's said he ordered 10 murders. He was busted in Jamaica and sentenced to about 29 years in prison.
vs
Bartolome Moya, #336, Oct 18, 1994
A New York City drug ring leader. His underlings carried out 12 murders, along with many bomb blasts and kidnappings. For whatever reason, this crime lord was given a heart transplant, then he escaped house arrest in July 1994. He fled to the Dominican Republic, and got ahold of black market prescriptions, and was in better health by the time AMW busted him there.
I'll vote for David Askew for his higher casualty toll, and because his mortal victims weren't (known to be) drug addicts, and Bartolome Moya because even though Vassell's and Moya's underlings had killed about a dozen people each, Moya got a heart transplant and escaped house arrest, and AMW still brought him in alive.

David Askew and Bartolome Moya advance 3 to 0!
Larry Donald George, #302, Apl 24, 1994
A victim of a child-beating father and submissive mother. In November 1986, he was expelled from the army for reckless behavior and insubordination. He returned to Alabama, but he was unhappy there. He took his anger out by beating and controlling his wife. After she moved out and secured a restraining order, he violated it in February 1988. He stormed into a neighbor's house, shot and crippled his ex-wife, and killed a neighboring couple. It took 5 airings, one per year, until AMW tipsters led him to Delaware, where he'd set up camp using a generator. He was busted trying to flee down Delaware's Christina River and condemned to death.
vs
Alfred Owens Jr., #350, Fbr 24, 1995
Wanted out of Michigan for murder. The casualty toll could've been as high as 2 dead, 1 wounded. AMW tips led hundreds of federal agents to Nashville, Tennessee, where he engaged them in a standoff, and yelled threats and profanities before he was busted. He was sentenced to life, possibly as many as 3 life terms.
and
Gabriel Cruz Jr., #344, Fbr 4, 1995
In September 1994, he and 3 others broke into a Massachusetts home, hogtied the family, and robbed the house. Two adults were wounded when the robbers severely beat them, but worst of all, the youngest child, a 7 year old girl, choked to death on the duct tape. Police quickly rounded up the accomplices, but Cruz got away. He was busted in Sterling, Virginia.
vs
John Anthony Bertsch, #345, Fbr 5, 1995
In December 1985, he and an accomplice abducted, bound, and sexually murdered a woman in Imperial County, California. The accomplice was arrested but Bertsch went on the run for almost a decade before he was busted in Arizona. He was soon condemned to death. His capture set a record for most cases solved by AMW in one 24-hour window.
First, I'll vote for Larry Donald George, because besides a confirmed casualty toll that matches Owens' unconfirmed casualty toll, George got 5 or 6 airings on the show. Few fugitives receive that many airings, then go down as a Direct Result rather than an empty capture.
Second, even though Bertsch was wanted for a cold case sexual murder that set a record for most unrelated cases (murders, no less) solved in 24 hours, I'll vote for Cruz. His casualty toll was 1 dead, 2 wounded, and the mortal victim was a young child. The girl didn't suffer any sexual violations, but getting suddenly hogtied and choking on duct tape is almost as horrible a way to die.

Larry Donald George and Gabriel Cruz Jr advance 4 to 0
Steven William Bray, #349, Fbr 2, 1995
In November 1982, he murdered his estranged wife and mother-in-law in Kentucky. He was busted in Canada.
vs
Francis P "Cadillac Frank" Salemme Sr, #373, Ags 11, 1995
Head of the Patriarca crime family from March 1990 to the end of 1994. This self-professed hitman had enabled the bombing and wounding of his criminal higher-up's lawyer to scare him out of testifying against members of the Family. He was charged with kidnapping, racketeering, and extortion. The Boston Police Department indicted him and fellow Irish Winter Hill Gang higher-up James Joseph "Whitey" Bulger in January 1995. Salemme skipped his son's funeral in order to go on the run. AMW tips busted him in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he was sleeping in a rented house with his wife. After serving an additional year on a newer perjury charge, most people believe him to be in the witness protection program today. Whitey, another organized crime captain sought by the same police operation, traveled the world using pre-stashed bank accounts before he and his wife Catherine Elizabeth Greig were nabbed as empty captures in June 2011.
and
Kong Chung Bounnam, #330, Nvb 18, 1994
A Laotian immigrant. In 1987, he robbed the Jade East restaurant / jewelry store in Raleigh, North Carolina, killing 3 workers and wounding 1. He managed to flee despite a gunshot wound to the leg which he never sought medical attention for. The next year, the survivors sold the restaurant because the memories of how it ended were too painful. Instead, they moved their jewelry store to East Memphis, relying on word of mouth and loyal customers to keep business flowing. Bounnam was busted in Ontario, Canada, living in secret after blending in with other East Asian communities.
vs
Gerald Lydell Voyles, #354, Mrc 5, 1995
In 1981, he and 2 accomplices shot 2 men dead in Florida and dumped the bodies into a pond. The accomplices were arrested quickly but Voyles fled. In an act of brazen foolishness, he surrendered in Polk County, Florida, thinking he'd know how to collect the reward money for his own capture!
Correct me if what I'm re-iterating could be putting him in danger. Though Salemme could be in the witness protection program if he hasn't succumbed to natural causes yet, he headed a massive crime family for almost half a decade, and who's to say he didn't carry out any hits? They say he also skipped his own son's funeral just to flee. And he was the focus of the same police operation that aimed to catch Whitey Bulger! Second, even though Kong Chung Bounnam killed one more person, Gerald Lydell Voyles was wanted for a 13+ year old multi murder case, and went down trying to collect the reward money attached to his own case!

I think I'm going to have to vote for Salemme in the first one since even if he's in witness protection the capture itself has a story to it and involves one of AMW and the FBI's most infamous criminals, while Bray we basically just know his crime, as we can see from the summaries. Second is tough but I'm going to vote for Bounnam for the higher death toll. Voyles was a dumbass though LOL  |

First vote is for Cadillac Frank for his notorious mob status and connection to James "Whitey" Bulger.
Second vote goes to Kong Chung Bounham for four casualties that resulted in three murders. I didn't vote for Gerald Voyles since I couldn't find a record of him in the Florida Department Of Corrections. Whenever that happens, I have to consider the possibility that he was acquitted or the charges were dropped.

Cadillac Frank defeats Bray 0 to 4, and Bounnam defeats Voyles 3 to 1. Now it's the halfway point, and Round 2 can begin!
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
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.
and
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
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'll reserve my votes for later.
