Recently I heard a radio commentator cite a source which states that the most common name among serial killers/death row inmates is "Wayne". He also went on to list approximately 25 names of said individuals. I would like to retrieve that source and list. Thank you. |

I believe the radio commentator's source was Chuck Shepherd's "News of the Weird," a weekly syndicated newspaper column. Chuck Shepherd, with the help of submissions from readers, has for ten years been compiling a list of killers who have the middle name "Wayne." I must say that the size of this list boggles my not-easily-boggled mind. The list itself is copyrighted, so I cannot post it here, but you'll find it on the News of the Weird website: News of the Weird: The Classic Middle Name http://newsoftheweird.com/wayne.html I'm a fan of News of the Weird, so my Google search strategy involved a site search on the NOTW website for the word "Wayne." As luck would have it, the first hit turned out to be a page which contained the infamous list. Google Web Search: site:newsoftheweird.com wayne ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Anewsoftheweird.com+wayne I hope this is precisely what you're looking for. If it is not, please request clarification; I'll be glad to offer further assistance before you rate my answer. Best regards, pinkfreud |

Chuck Shepherd's claim notwithstanding, one can not copyright an alphabetical list of facts in the United States, as established in the Supreme Court case Feist v. Rural (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_v._Rural). secret901-ga |
