Donald Eugene Webb (born Donald Eugene Perkins; July 14, 1931 – December 30, 1999)[1][2] was an American career criminal wanted for attempted burglary and the murder of police chief Gregory Adams in the small town of Saxonburg, Pennsylvania on December 4, 1980.[3] It was only the second murder in the town's nearly 150-year history; the first murder occurred in 1842.[4][5]
Webb was a fugitive featured on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List until 2007, setting a record in 1999 for longest stay on the list, but was never apprehended. In 2010, his record on that list was superseded by another criminal; Víctor Manuel Gerena. The murder of Police Chief Adams was never solved by prosecution of the criminal; it was the longest-running cold case of a police officer in the United States. In July 2017, Webb's remains were discovered in Massachusetts on the property of his wife Lillian Webb. She had hidden him in two of her homes for 17 years, until he died of a stroke in 1999.
