Wayne Donald Horton |
VICTIMS: 4 |
Wayne Horton was definitely one sadistic little fucker as a kid. Everyone knew that he had a violent temper, and they also knew he had no qualms about lashing out at anyone, no matter who they were. The real mystery regarding Horton is why no one seemed to figure out he was going to turn out to be a killer. At the age of 16 Horton made his first kill. It was late in 1972 when it happened. The victim was picked up at a liquor store by Horton. He promised some marijuana to a young lady if she would come for a drive with him. It seems that young Wayne was able to hide his sadistic side long enough for her to accept the offer. They drove into the desert smoking pot until Horton decided he had had enough talk. He stopped the car, picked up a jack handle and smashed the stupid bitches head in. He dumped her in the desert - where her skeleton, complete with shattered skull, was found on February 4, 1973. The bones were never identified, so for the purposes of this page we shall just call her 'Jane Doe'. Wayne Horton seemed to settle for petty crimes over the next year. But the urge to kill came back over him on May 12, 1975. He was attempting to rob Edward Buccieri, 52. According to Horton, Buccieri "called him dirty names", so he decided to shut him up. Five bullets to the head seemed to solve the problem, and from this moment on Buccieri never called anyone else 'dirty names', in fact he didn't even breathe again. This murder was repeated three months later when Horton robbed cab driver William Tinnell. It seems that Tinnell didn't call Horton any names, but that didn't really matter to Horton. As he said later "I don't think he deserved to live." And for Tinnell this was enough to end his life. He was dispatched with five bullets to the head as he was on his knees pleading with Horton for his life. In April, 1976, Horton was arrested on charges of rape, kidnapping and robbery. It seems that this really annoyed him, so him and his cell mates murdered another cell mate, Calvin Brinson, 19. Horton was not actually the murderer here, he just ordered his cell mates to do the stabbing. When caught he openly admitted to his part in the murder. He stated that Brinson died because of his 'frustration' at being in confinement. On June 5, 1976, Horton pled guilty to the murders of Buccieri and Tinnell. He seemed to be really enjoying himself in court. As he told of his actions in the murders he laughed continuously. In return for these admissions the D.A. dropped other charges they had against Horton including another murder. He was given two sentences of life without parole. this seemed to upset Horton as he publicly stated that he would have preferred the death penalty. But this wasn't the end for Wayne Horton. From the moment he entered prison he said that he would kill other prisoner that upset him. At one point he stated, "There are several people I am going to kill if I can." At this point a black prisoner laughed leaded Horton to reply, "Go ahead and laugh nigger. You just might be the first one." On August 3, 1976, two more murder charges were filed against Horton - Jane Doe and Calvin Brinson - for which he eventually received two more life sentences. Not long after this Nevada officials decided that it was too dangerous to have Horton in there prisons since he had death threats out against too many other prisoners. I'm unsure about what happened with this transfer request but he may have been moved to California.

MY OPINION Well this isn't really the type of serial murder that I like, but his persistence is very attractive. I've always liked guys who can keep on going even after being caught. I don't actually know if he's added to his score since going inside but I think his attitude only is enough for me. The murders are shit, but the attitude is great. |
