# Hunted #2 This issue is an anthology featuring famous crime cases and police files. The lead story, "Murder on the Waterfront: The True Crime Case of 'Blue Eye' Dunn," recounts the June 3rd, 1946 case of criminal John "Blue Eye" Dunn, who was found dead on a pier after being involved in an undercover police operation. A secondary story, "Mystery of the Missing Expert," follows reporter Fanny Hartlip as she investigates the death of a man who fell from a building near West 57th Street in New York City, with police initially suspecting suicide until she discovers bullet wounds suggesting murder, leading her to uncover the identity of a mysterious art expert named Paul Lefevre. Additional stories include a dragnet operation depicted across a multi-page spread showing police pursuing criminals across various modes of transportation, from motorcycles to airplanes, culminating in a water-based escape attempt.

William Dainard: The Car-Crazy Kidnapper

William DainardJenkinsHarvey BailesTom Van Devender

William Dainard starts life as a restless eighteen-year-old in Saskatchewan, but his obsession with cars and refusal to settle into honest work set him on a collision course with crime—from liquor theft to auto robbery, prison time, and finally bank robbery. After his first successful heist at the Oakville State Bank, Dainard indulges his greatest passion by buying up beat-up cars and gleefully destroying them, but his wild spending and reckless lifestyle soon draw the attention of the authorities who pursue him relentlessly. This is the story of how a car-crazy drifter transformed himself into one of the era's most audacious and elusive criminals.
