David Wade Cunningham

David Wade Cunningham is a serial killer and abductor who appeared in Rabid.

History
During his childhood, David had a brother named Hunter, who contracted rabies after being bitten by a rabid bat during a camping trip. Hunter was admitted to a hospital, but when it became clear that it was too late to save him, his parents signed him out so he could die in their home. As Hunter suffered, David recorded it and was left with an impacting psychological imprint. Eventually, his parents decided to kill Hunter to put him out of his misery and buried his body in a local wildlife reserve. Apparently because he was unable to see out Hunter's suffering, David built up psychopathic tendencies for the rest of his life and became an avid researcher on rabies. He eventually found a job as an employee of two pest-control companies, both of which he was fired from due to stealing equipment from them. He also came to acquire some sort of rabid animal (likely a dog, since one was seen under his ownership throughout the episode), which he would later use to infect his first victim.
