Is it just me or does ‘wanted for: escape’ make him seem less threatening than the convicted child murderer he is?

Quite right, must be a reason for saying ''escape'' as opposed to child killer..
If the son of a gun is still alive, it is easy to imagine him playing up the poor, harmless old man routine at church groups or soup kitchens.
He might look like anybody now but those cold cruel eyes will look the same, imo, speculation.

That is spooky in my opinion as it doesn't give any information indicating that he might be dangerous if approached.

Anything is possible. He has remained missing for 51 years. The sad possibility is that as a child rapist and killer, he may have committed more crimes over the years.
