Wow this is TOUGH. I say this a lot but this is the new hardest round yet.  I'll go with Browning for the uniqueness of the 12-year old boy tipster. This is about AMW captures and it proves the power of AMW. The second I'll go with Midgette since I think it was such an urgent and desperate matter that had the lives of many people on edge. |

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. I voted for Browning and Harney |

I guess I'll vote for Timothy Moore and John T Midgette. Browning and Midgette advance 3 to 1.
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.
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.
and
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
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.
My votes go to Sebastian Eccleston because he had a younger victim, and Patrick and Darlene because they conspired to rape a LOT of children.

Eccleston and the Dickinsons defeat Smithson and Childers 3 to 1!
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
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.
and
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
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.
My votes go to Fast Eddie because he was a convicted rapist who sliced up his victim post-mortem, and Bartolome because his criminal network as a whole committed a dozen murders, and he was caught subsisting off black market prescriptions.

Edward "Fast Eddie" Mayrand and Bartolome Moya advance by a 4 to 0 shut-out!
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
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.
and
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.
vs
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.
I'll reserve my votes again.
