John Wayne Hearn - 448

Gainesville, Florida. When John Wayne Hearn posted an ad in Soldier of Fortune Magazine, he was hoping to get a few jobs doing private bodyguard work. He was shocked by the bombardment of calls he received, most of them from people seeking to hire him to murder their enemies, move drugs, or complete other illegal jobs. John ignored them all, until a woman named Debra called him, asking to help intimidate a brother in law as part of a child custody battle.
