I know this is really a long shot but does anyone recognize the person or story being relayed in this documentary about psychopaths?
It's the guy right at the first bit of the film.
If they mentioned his name in the show I missed it -- and I listened hard. I tried Googling around some of the information given but never could find out who he is.
Hmm, I'd be goddessier if I found the name. It seems possible that since he did it when he was a kid, they don't give his name? I'm looking for more info re: the crime but haven't found anything yet.
Edit: the bottom of the transcript says "The Equinox program in which Dr. Hare appeared was first shown on Channel 4 Television in 2000: www.channel4.com. Reproduced with permission."
I looked at the channel4 site but haven't found anything.

Thanks soz!
If I recall that wasn't the crime he is in prison for. I think he went to prison for sexual assault but they didn't give any details.
Yeah, I think the murder of his brother was just the beginning.
I think I hit a dead end. As far as I can tell there were two versions of this documentary, one in 2000 and then another with some updates in 2009. "Equinox" seems to be the program and the title is either "Psychopath" or "Mind of a Murderer" or "Psychopath: Mind of a Murderer." However I can't find the guy's name anywhere.
Prisoner: I'm here serving a 5-20-year sentence for sexual molestation of four boys of the ages of four to 12.
Narrator: Wayne has been here for more than 10 years and perhaps has 10 more to do. He scored 40 on the psychopathy checklist. It's the maximum possible and extremely rare. The authorities here believe that time and money spent trying to reform psychopaths like Wayne is a worthwhile investment.
It matches up with the right guy -- at the .52 mark on the second block of the movie.
I was just coming back to ask! I had just read this:
Quote:
Wayne: My idol was John Lennon and of course on the other side of the tracks we have Willie Nelson. He represents freedom in different ways: love, peace, harmony, togetherness, connection, with the polar bears and freedom in general.
He certainly looked like someone who admired John Lennon in the clip at the very beginning that I saw.
Here we go....Wayne
And this is from a Dallas news storey published back in Sept 2006. So all these waynes were from feb 06 to sept 06.
The next time your daughter brings home a new boyfriend, be sure to ask his middle name
By STEVEN D. LEVITT
I get a lot of interesting letters in the mail. (To those of you who send me things, I apologize that I so rarely respond. If you want to hear from me, your odds are better — but still not great — on email.)
I got a package recently, however, that really stood out. It came from Ms. M.R. Stewart, who is a proud mother, as well as being grandmother to four pit bulls.
Ms. Stewart has an unusual hobby: clipping newspaper articles of a particular ilk. She sent me xeroxs of her most recent finds. All of these clippings were from The Dallas News, from February 2006 to the present. The articles had two things in common: (1) all of them were stories reporting on crimes, and (2) the perpetrator’s middle name was “Wayne.”
I have to say I was stunned by the number of examples she sent me:
Eric Wayne Kelley — sex charges
Nathan Wayne Green — kidnapping and beating, homicide
Ronald Wayne Spencer, Jr. — triple homicide
David Wayne Rhodes — 10 years for practicing nursing without a license
Larry Wayne King — homicide
Paul Wayne Mitchell — Theft
Michael Wayne Hills — theft
Jeremy Wayne Hopkins — homicide
Garry Wayne Carriker — knowingly having unprotected sex when HIV positive
Bruce Wayne Potts — homicide
Joshua Wayne Jones — assault of officer
Billy Wayne Sinclair — homicide
Billy Wayne Boyer — assault
Billy Wayne Miller — attempted murder and robbery
Kenneth Wayne Downs — sex assault
Jerry Wayne Lucas — attempted homicide
Tony Wayne Swinnie — aggravated assault of grandmother in front of her grandchildren, robbery
Larry Wayne Dacy — home invasion
Richard Wayne Miles — police standoff
Charles Wayne Thomas — homicide
Maybe you could assemble a list this impressive for some other middle name, but I doubt it. Of course, these folks are following the path set for them by the notorious Chicago serial killer John Wayne Gacy, Jr.
(She also collects clippings with middle names that rhyme with Wayne…she sent me 4 DeWaynes, 4 Duanes, and 2 Dwaynes.)
After going through the package, I pulled my two oldest daughters aside (they are six) and told them they were not allowed to ever have a boyfriend with the middle name “Wayne.” Olivia, who is obsessed with a boy named Thomas in her class, is going to check on his middle name tomorrow.
I wonder if any of those Waynes could be the one in the movie.....

@chai2,
Well the good news is, it's not my middle name.
The bad news, my last name is in there too.
Oh dear Oh my, my left eye is starting to twitch.
What are the symptoms of the onset of psychopathia?

@boomerang,
My brother Sam's true middle name was Wayne. He was a great guy. Go, Waynes. Be troubled no more.
