Infamous Hometown Criminals  email this discussion to a friend?

Do you live in a small town or city that is unfortunately known for an infamous criminal? One who either was raised there or lived there either prior or during the time of their crimes? Unfortunately, I was raised 15 minutes from Bath, Ohio. For those of you who don't know, that is the town where Jeffery Dahmer grew up. And I'm not sure who all knows, but Charles Manson (born with last name Maddox) is from Cincinatti, Ohio. I'm sure there's probably some more from surrounding areas. I don't know why it seems like we get all the nut jobs. But anyway, who's from your area?

Yes we had a hometown criminal. He is dead now. His name was Gary Evans. He was a career criminal and a murderer. He even killed his best friends, that he grew up with. He was born and raised here in Troy NY. we went to the same school. He was a few years older than me. There is a book written about him, by the detective who had dealth with him his wholke criminal life.

Wow, that is interesting. Do you by chance know the name of that book? I find it interesting how our society has had so much turmoil with murderers and such. I like to watch or read about them to see if there was some hint somewhere in there life that could have forwarned someone. Like for instance, they think that Jeffery Dahmer probably was affected in the womb. Apparently his mom had some seizures towards the end of pregnancy and the doctor gave her morophine and some other barbituates. It's quite interesting. Thanks for responding.

I'm from Ohio too so we will always have a bad reputation because of those guys. I moved to Wichita Kansas right after the BTK guy was caught. I saw it on the news and said - wonder if his place will be up for rent as we were looking (yes I was joking). What a creep.


myLot reputation of 84/100. dramaqn (835)   ranked 549 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

Ok, refresh my memory about the BTK guy. What part of Ohio were you from? Well, just think on the upside, there are some great Hollywood stars from here also.
Halle Berry-Cleveland, Marilyn Manson-Canton,DeVo-Akron, Steve Harvey-Cleveland,The wife on Everybody loves Raymond-Cleveland,LeBron James-Akron,Macy Gray(yeah we'll count her)-Canton, Miranda Lambert or is it Danielle Peck (county singer) from Coshocton, hmm I'm sure there's some more I'm forgetting. But you get the point. Hopefully all of those will out weigh the killers.

Yes we had a career criminal and he was a serial killer as well. His name was Gary Evans. He was born and raised here in Troy NY. He even went as far as to kill his childhood friends. They were criminals as well. We had gone to the same school. He was a few years older than me. There is a book written about him, by the detective who dealth with him his whole criminal life. It's a really good book.

Sorry somehow I posted twice. Don't know what happened.


myLot reputation of 84/100. dramaqn (835)   ranked 549 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

No problem...thanks for posting the book cover for the book. I can't wait to read it. Wow, killed his friends too, huh? That's just unbelievable.


myLot reputation of 98/100. irishmist (2752)   ranked 319 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

"Every Move You Make" was an excellant book. You will not want to put it down. Gary's problems were from an abusive family life.

No one famous in a worldwide sense but yes we've had a few local murderers. One, I went to school with and was a friend of my s/o. The two people he murdered actually spent their last night alive at my s/o's house. He always wondered if there were any clues he missed that this guy was going to kill them the next day. Actually a few of my friends were connected to this (but not in a criminal way) just because it was such a tight group of friends....by ex-BIL is the one that drove him out of state after the murder not knowing what had happened, my ex was questioned because he'd seen the two people also, they were killed at another friends house...he's serving life without parole.


myLot reputation of 84/100. dramaqn (835)   ranked 549 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

Wow! Did they ever find out why he killed them? What makes people do this? That's a good question, were there signs? Was it his plan when he went to visit, or did the thought occur while there? Hmm, I wonder. Thanks for posting.


myLot reputation of 93/100. foxyfire33 (5787)   ranked 207 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

See what happened is our friend B got involved with this guy J who turned out to be a hit man. J decided B was ready for training and so J brought his girlfriend and her son (a child) up here from another state for B to "practice" on. B claims that once he realized what J was he wanted nothing to do with him but J had threatened to kill B's family if he backed out. So B went along and when the time was right J stood back while B shot the mother and then the son. And then J again threatened to kill B's family if he went to the police. J left on his own to go home and B got a ride with my ex BIL....bloody clothes in the trunk of BIL car. A few weeks later the woman's body was found 1 mile from s/o's house because B and J had driven here with her in the trunk looking for a chain so they could stuff her in an old refrigerator at an illegal dump and chain it shut. S/o wasn't home so they couldn't get his chain and the refrigerator with her body in it was discovered by another neighbor. S/o's then girlfriend recognized the clothing and description the police gave of the body and everything went from there...she and s/o also later found bullets at their house and neither have a gun so it was assumed they came from B and J. Oddly enough B got life without paraole and he physically shot those two while J got the death penalyt for planning it...it's still in appeals going on 12 years later.
