Billy Ray Waldon (born 1952), aka Billy Joe Waldon and Nvwtohiyada Idehesdi Sequoyah, is the creator of the constructed language Poliespo (Polisinteza Esperanto). Born in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, he is on Death Row in California for murder. On May 16, 1986 he became the 399th fugitive listed by the FBI on the Ten Most Wanted List. A month later, he was arrested June 16, 1986 in San Diego, California after local police attempted to pull him over for a routine traffic citation. [1]

Since 1992, the organization "Friends of Sequoyah, Team Research Switzerland" have been trying to overturn the conviction, arguing that

Devoid of both motive and forensic evidence, the prosecution case rested on stolen property found in a car belonging to NIS, questionable eye-witness testimony, and a proficiency in outmaneuvering an unskilled and inadequately prepared defense, unable to attach substance to its claims of political subterfuge targeting American Indian activists.
