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.

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.

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

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 vote for Moya and Bounnam for their higher death tolls.

I Also vote for Moya and Bounnam as well for higher death tolls as well

Moya and Bounnam advance by a 0 to 4 shut-out! Now for the semifinals!

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

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.

My votes go to Patrick and Darlene Dickinson for the odds that they sexually assaulted more children, and Bartolome Moya because he was a crime boss whose underlings killed dozens, then escaped house arrest after his heart transplant, and got busted 3 months later with black market drugs.

I vote for Browning and Moya to the finals

Browning vs Dickinson ended in a draw, so I had to flip a coin, taking best two out of three. It landed on Tails twice and Heads once, so Dickinson advances to the Finals. Whoever wins this match-up will be our pick for best capture of the 4th Century of Captures besides Dennis James Skillicorn and Christopher Cornelius Goins!
