** His first [[EarlyBirdCameo speaking]] appearance has him walk away by saying “You boys have a good night.” It’s not genuine, but a way, like the fast food, to taunt Holden and Tench about how he knows they’re on to him; in this case, mocking them for how he basically walks away from circumstantial but damning evidence: being the only one on the bridge after a splash, with rope, dog hairs, and a blatantly false alibi.

* AmbiguousSituation: Just as in real life, with Wayne protesting his innocence to this day and only two murder charges brought against him, it remains unclear just how many of the murders if any he was responsible for. And Holden, Bill, and Barney all certainly have strong doubts about whether he was the only perpetrator, noticing that there are just too many loose ends in the case and makes preparations to look into other possible leads, but they have to reluctantly stop because the FBI ends up shutting down the investigation after Williams is formally charged.
** In real life, the facts remains that the murders stopped when he was arrested and a later DNA test did strengthen the case against him. But, notably, the former FBI profiler John E. Douglas, who wrote the book the series is inspired by, pointed out that while all evidence points towards Wayne definitely having committed at least some of the murders, he doubts that he did all, or even just most of them.
