The Classic Middle Name Of The Most Heinous Murderers

This is a mighty impressive (so to speak) group, and below is an alpha listing.

But first, several disclaimers: (1) I have been too unmotivated to completely update the list. Most notably, there should be more names on the list (i.e., some have been withheld because they were mere "suspects," but many of those were subsequently arrested, not to mention convicted), and there should be more, well, dead people on the list, if you get my drift. (I have only designated the executions that I know about.) Any help on those matters would be appreciated. (2) My list is only of murderers (or those charged with murder) with the middle name of Wayne. Manslaughter is not enough. Other violent crimes are not enough. It's only of middle-name Waynes who have been in the news; I have not pored over penitentiary rosters to get the old- timer Waynes. (3) Before anyone asks me, I will answer: No, I have no idea whether the number of middle- named Wayne murderers is statistically significant. I suspect that aggressive-personality fathers during the 1950s and 1960s did in fact hopefully and disproportionately name their boys after that era's icon of ruggedness, John Wayne. Beyond that, I dare not venture.

Herewith is the list, as of News of the Weird 883, January 9, 2005 (* deceased):

I believe that's from the newest one, Batman Begins, which I think is far superior to all the previous efforts.

"Is Ray #2?"

Oh no...my husband's name is Wayne Raymond.

I am doubly blessed.

My middle name is Wayne. Aw, great...

Wait, Rich Mullins's middle name was Wayne, too. That has to count for something, right?
