I think it's a different answer than just to distinguish them. Like, for example, when that John Karr guy from the Ramsey case first came about, he was just John Karr, but now he's John Mark Karr. It's weird.

to be more specific in their identification, so as not to generalize.
Maybe many lee oswalds, but less of lee harvey oswalds.

Because some of them have common names and using a middle name distinguishes them from mistaking the criminal from others. (who may have the same common name).

If John Smith kills you, we won't know who to blame, but if John Leroy Humperdink Smith is your killer, we know basically who to blame! Unless he's a junior!
