At the same time, creepers were around back then too.
Many kids did disappear, never to be seen again.
I remember eating breakfast to the picture of kids on the milk carton.
That stuff really wasn't reported to the extent it is now, and many had the mentality that they were simply runaways.
People really couldn't imagine the perversion of child predators. But they have always been there in the shadows.
I think it happens less today, per capita, because of dna and cameras are everywhere.
People who think they're going to get away with it today, are either stupid as **** or crazy and they don't care.
BUT, the sad reality, is many murders go unsolved. I like to think that most murderers get caught so I won't look up the number. It's depressing. Scary.
I watch a lot of murder shows. I love them. There are so many of them on TV. Too many. A lot of times I watch the very beginning just to get the general idea of who the players are, then I fast forward to the end to find out who done it. And why. I hate shows that end with they never found the murderer. HATE those. I won't watch them if I can tell this is a case that goes cold and is still open. To think a murderer is out there among us walking free.
Does anyone here know a murderer? Whenever I watch these shows and they are cases from Michigan, I'm always hoping one day to say "OMG I KNOW THAT GUY".
I remember this guy from when I was a kid. I'll never forget his name. I remember him working at the local Speedway
Leslie Allen Williams (born July 4, 1953) is an American
serial killer, rapist, and
necrophile who is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole in
Michigan for the murders and rapes of four teenage girls that occurred in the
Oakland and
Genesee counties in the early 1990s.
In 1990, Williams, who had served eight years in prison since his arrest for the rape, was granted parole. Nine months later, he killed his first victim. On September 14, 1991, Williams attacked 18-year-old Kami Villanueva in her home in Oakland county. He raped, then killed her, then buried her body in a shallow grave that Williams had dug.
Then, on September 29, 1991, Williams attacked sisters Melissa Urbin, who was 14, and Michelle Urbin, who was 16. The two were walking out at night when Williams attacked.
[4] He raped and killed the two, then put their bodies in his car. He drove to a secluded area and dug two shallow graves, but before burying them, Williams said he had sex with their bodies. Five months later, on January 4, 1992, he raped and killed 15-year-old Cynthia Marie Jones. Just like all the victims before, Williams buried her in a shallow grave.
We could ride our bikes to where they found one of the bodies. Near the RR tracks. Creepy.
