Donald Eugene Webb (born Donald Eugene Perkins on July 14, 1931, possibly deceased) is (or was) an American career criminal and fugitive wanted for attempted burglary and the murder of police chief Gregory Adams in the small community of Saxonburg, Pennsylvania on December 4, 1980. It was the first murder in the town's history.
Donald Eugene Perkins was born in Oklahoma City in 1931. He was raised by his grandfather. Perkins enlisted in the United States Navy but received a dishonorable discharge. Perkins legally changed his name to Webb in Bristol County, Massachusetts in 1956.
Webb has worked as a butcher, salesman, restaurant manager and vending machine repairman.
Before 1979, Webb had spent extended periods in the Southwest, New England, and on the West Coast. After Webb's disappearance, his relatives and criminal associates have consistently refused to cooperate with investigators.
In 1981, Webb's wife Lillian lived in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Lillian Webb was a saleswoman for a now-defunct New Bedford box company. In 1999, it was reported that Lillian, her son and other relatives of Donald Webb were living in the Boston area.
Webb has convictions of burglary, possession of counterfeit money, possession of a weapon and dangerous instruments, breaking and entering, armed bank robbery, grand larceny and car theft. In the mid-1970s, Webb served a two-year prison term in New York state prison. The FBI has considered Webb "a master of assumed identities". New York and Pennsylvania police have described Webb as "an itinerant burglar well versed in the art of criminal impersonation". Webb has been believed to be involved in a Fall River gang but no clear link has been established between Webb and organized crime.
