Francis Allman:

In 1980, a nationally renowned cardiologist surprised a burglar in his home. The burglar shot the doctor and fled.The doctor got in his car, drove towards the hospital, but spotted the burglar on the way. He ran over the burglar, crashed into a tree, and died. The murderer turned out t...o be Bernard Welch, an escapee from a New York prison who was a master stealth burglar. Subsequent searches of his homes yielded more than $4 million in stolen goods. Welch was convicted in this case, escaped from prison again, and resumed the burglary trade until he was recaptured six months later. Before the above line-up photo was taken, Welch changed his appearance by shaving his head. In the photo, he is wearing a cheap wig. I am number 6, Welch is number 5. I remember that when I saw Welch face to face, he emanated an aura of pure evil.
