Francis Allman:
In 1980, a well-known cardiologist surprised a burglar in his home. The burglar shot him, and the doctor drove towards the hospital but spotted the burglar on the way. He ran over the burglar, crashed into a tree, and died. The burglar was Bernard Welch, an escapee from a New York prison and a skilled burglar. Searches of his homes found over $4 million in stolen goods. Welch was convicted, escaped again, resumed burglary, and was recaptured six months later. Before his lineup photo, he shaved his head and wore a cheap wig. I am number 6; Welch is number 5. He had an aura of pure evil.
