Short filmTranscript
00:00On May the 24th, 1992, a grieving man arrived at a quiet cemetery to place flowers on his father's grave.
00:11But something disturbing caught his eye.
00:16He looks off in the distance and he sees this man that appears to be assaulting this woman.
00:23And so he realized something was really wrong.
00:25The man rushed out of the cemetery to find help.
00:30After a police chase, the assailant was caught and the woman was rescued from the back of his car.
00:37She was near death because she was being asphyxiated by some sort of device around her neck.
00:45The attacker was 38-year-old Leslie Allen Williams, and police soon discovered that this wasn't his first abduction.
00:54After finding evidence in his home linking him to four missing teenage girls, Williams confessed to their murders.
01:03I think Williams confessing was for his own benefit and absolutely nobody else's benefit whatsoever.
01:10When we interviewed him, he expressed no emotion.
01:17It was like he was ordering a cup of coffee.
01:20Left with nowhere to run, Leslie Allen Williams had been unmasked as one of the world's most evil killers.
01:28In July 1992 at Oakland County Circuit Court in Michigan,
01:57Leslie Allen Williams pleaded guilty to the murders of 18-year-old Cami Villanueva,
02:0416-year-old Michelle Urban and her 14-year-old sister Melissa and 15-year-old Cynthia Jones.
02:12The serial killer even led police to the sites where he buried their bodies.
02:18There can be no doubt that Leslie Allen Williams was a truly evil man.
02:24He took the life of four young high school students who had their whole lives in front of them.
02:32It was an act of grotesque depravity.
02:35The really sad thing about this case is each one of these four teenage girls he killed,
02:42he told them that he would let them go.
02:46He told them that if they just did what he said, they'd be okay.
02:51He'd release them.
02:53And I think that makes it way worse.
02:55The families and the jury were horrified to learn that Williams had previously been let out of prison early for good behavior.
03:05Leslie Allen Williams had been a career criminal and was released many times by our parole boards.
03:14And it was shortly after his release that the first of the four girls that he kidnapped and killed disappeared.
03:27There was a great deal of criticism publicly, especially in the media.
03:33There were people at the time of the Williams case who began campaigning for a reform of Michigan's parole system.
03:40If Williams had not been caught in May of 1992, he would not have stopped.
03:51There would have been other people kidnapped, violated and killed.
04:01This killer's story begins in the Midwest.
04:06Leslie Allen Williams was born on Independence Day.
04:10July the 4th, 1953, and he grew up in Detroit, Michigan.
04:17His mother had been married before, and she had two daughters.
04:22But then she married Leslie's father, and they had three boys together.
04:29But neither were exactly perfect parents.
04:33He grew up in Detroit called Garden City, and his mom was known to work prostitution in the home.
04:47His dad was sexually abusing Leslie's sisters.
04:50So it was a troubled upbringing.
04:55When Williams witnessed that sexual violence in his home, the sexual abuse of his siblings and the sex work of his mom,
05:06he probably learned quite early on that relationships are highly transactional,
05:10transactional, and they're not about emotional connection.
05:14And that is going to have a significant impact on the way he conducts his own relationships.
05:21After an investigation into the sexual abuse of his stepdaughters,
05:26Williams' father was committed to a state hospital for the criminally insane,
05:32but not before alerting police to his wife's sex work.
05:39Leslie's mother took some of the family to California,
05:44in an effort, I think, to escape the reputation that she had in Detroit.
05:52She then fell in love, and after she was divorced, she married her third husband.
05:59But that, too, didn't really go well.
06:05In the end, she decided that she would divorce the third husband.
06:11But then, tragically, on the night before the divorce hearing,
06:17her third husband went to visit her and killed her, shot her in the head,
06:23before killing himself.
06:27She has two boys of hers with her,
06:30and anything they might have seen as normal has gone out of the window.
06:35It's hard to imagine a worse upbringing.
06:38At just nine years old,
06:42Leslie Allen Williams had lost both of his parents.
06:46His mother was murdered.
06:48His father was a sex offender.
06:51He had no stability,
06:54no boundaries in his life at all,
06:57and no child should have to tolerate that.
07:01Now, Leslie was without either parent.
07:07So, at that point, he and a brother of his were brought back to Michigan
07:11to live with their grandparents in Milford,
07:14which is another Detroit suburb on the west side of Metro Detroit.
07:17As Williams neared adulthood,
07:22he turned towards a darker criminal path.
07:28He was only 17 years old in 1970.
07:32He was arrested for breaking and entering in a home,
07:35and that began a long criminal career.
07:38William's history of offending,
07:42it started when he was really young,
07:44and the younger it starts,
07:46quite often, the more longevity it has,
07:49the more it's going to carry on.
07:52Between 1970 and 1983,
07:55he's literally in and out of prison,
07:57in and out of the court.
07:59It's just a litany, including burglary.
08:02More significantly,
08:04sexual assault and attempted kidnapping.
08:08He's either being charged,
08:11waiting on bail, in prison.
08:15For somebody like Williams,
08:16who was relentless in his offending,
08:19he may have felt empowered by the system
08:23not holding him to account.
08:25But also, I think, given his personality traits,
08:29I think he already felt quite entitled
08:33and empowered to behave the way he did,
08:36and probably manipulated and used the system.
08:40In 1983, Williams broke into a woman's home.
08:45But what started as a routine burglary
08:48quickly took a sinister turn
08:50and escalated to attempted kidnap and sexual assault.
08:55He was recognized at that point
08:57as being a habitual offender.
09:00And so he had a couple different sentences
09:02in front of him.
09:03For the actual assault,
09:04he had a sentence of 5 to 10 years.
09:06For being a habitual offender,
09:09he had a sentence of 7 to 30 years.
09:13It's the first lengthy sentence he's had,
09:15so he's going to be an older,
09:17or at least an old man,
09:18by the time he gets out of jail.
09:20With Williams behind bars,
09:24women in Detroit could finally sleep a little easier.
09:29But not for long.
09:31He's an absolutely model prisoner.
09:34He has a particularly receptive psychiatrist
09:37who says,
09:39well, I think, you know,
09:40you have really made splendid progress,
09:43and, you know, we want to rehabilitate you.
09:46And so writes a very glowing report
09:49to the prison authorities
09:50about just how well Leslie Williams had done.
09:54In 1990, 37-year-old Williams
09:58was released on parole
09:59after serving just 6 years
10:02of his maximum 30-year sentence.
10:05People were probably manipulated by this idea
10:09that because he was polite,
10:11that somehow that meant he wasn't dangerous,
10:15despite all of the evidence
10:17showing that he was a repeat and serial offender.
10:23In my opinion,
10:24he could have been kept in longer,
10:27and he should have been.
10:29I don't know why they were so lenient with him,
10:33given the nature of his offending.
10:36Despite the severity of his crimes,
10:39the parole system was satisfied
10:41that Williams was a changed man.
10:44The following year,
10:46the mysterious disappearance
10:47of an 18-year-old woman from her home
10:50would spark fear
10:52across the community.
10:54In the early hours of September 15, 1991,
11:09in the quiet village of South Lyon,
11:11Oakland County, Michigan,
11:1318-year-old Cammy Villanueva
11:15was home alone,
11:17whilst her older sister
11:18was out on a date.
11:20Cammy Villanueva,
11:23she's 18,
11:25she's a bright,
11:26honest student,
11:27cheerful,
11:28the whole world in front of her.
11:31Quite a shy girl.
11:32She wasn't a great party-goer,
11:34and she lived with her sisters.
11:36Cammy's older sister came home
11:41and saw that Cammy was not home.
11:46She went into her room.
11:47She saw that things were basically undisturbed.
11:51The bedroom is deserted,
11:54but everything that Cammy left
11:56is all just exactly as it was.
11:59In fact, she's astounded.
12:02There's her inhaler,
12:04solitaire she was playing,
12:06purse,
12:07denim jacket,
12:08which she never went out without.
12:11It's as if she's disappeared into thin air.
12:14She wondered,
12:15OK, what happened?
12:16Where is she?
12:16The following day,
12:19she reported her missing to police.
12:23There was no signs
12:25of any kind of forced entry
12:26from, you know,
12:29my conversations
12:29with the Oakland County Sheriff's Department
12:32detectives
12:34that worked that part of the case.
12:37It was unknown
12:38why she was no longer home.
12:41Nobody knew what happened to her.
12:44She was a missing person case.
12:45They didn't know
12:46if she had been killed
12:47or if she ran away
12:48or what happened.
12:51Just as police
12:52were getting to grips
12:53with Cammy's case,
12:55two weeks later,
12:56they received another call
12:58from the concerned parents
12:59of two teenage girls,
13:0216-year-old Michelle
13:03and 14-year-old Melissa Urban.
13:08Melissa and Michelle Urban
13:10had a perfectly normal
13:11sister's relationship,
13:13partly wonderful friendship,
13:15partly hating each other.
13:16It was a typical sisterly bond.
13:21They lived in a rural area
13:23of Michigan
13:23near the town of Heartland,
13:25which is about
13:26an hour northwest of Detroit.
13:30They have nothing particular
13:32to worry about
13:33and it's a perfectly ordinary day.
13:35On September the 29th, 1991,
13:41after a Sunday dinner
13:42with the family,
13:44the two girls set off
13:45on an evening walk.
13:48The morning after
13:50they had gone for their walk,
13:52when the father noticed
13:53they weren't home,
13:55he said,
13:56we need to call the police.
13:58A young trooper
14:01was sent
14:02to make contact
14:04with the parents
14:05and it was learned
14:07from them
14:07that they did not
14:09return home
14:09the night before.
14:12The police
14:13retraced the steps
14:14the sisters had taken
14:15on their walks
14:16and found no trace
14:18of them.
14:19They also began
14:19to interview
14:20the local community
14:21to find out
14:22the background,
14:23but nothing
14:24led them
14:25to what had happened
14:26to the sisters.
14:29The information
14:30we got
14:31in contacting
14:32friends and family members
14:33was that they did not
14:35know anything about it.
14:37They had not seen
14:38the girls,
14:38had not heard from them,
14:40they were concerned,
14:43they did not
14:43understand why
14:45the girls would have
14:46been gone
14:47for so long.
14:50Although these contacts
14:52didn't provide
14:53an explanation
14:54for Michelle
14:55and Melissa's
14:55disappearance,
14:57they did reveal
14:58this wasn't
14:58the first time
14:59the girls
15:00had gone missing.
15:02A young trooper
15:03did a very good
15:04background,
15:06finding that they
15:06had at one point
15:08run away for a weekend
15:09before returning home.
15:13With any missing
15:14person report,
15:15we always expect
15:17the worst,
15:19but because of
15:21the past history
15:22where the girls
15:23had been missing
15:25voluntarily,
15:26it wasn't until
15:27several days later,
15:30perhaps a week or two
15:31actually,
15:32before the concern
15:33became greater.
15:35They had never
15:36been gone this long.
15:38They had left behind
15:39items that
15:40they would not have
15:42left behind before.
15:43They were reported
15:46as missing
15:47and then the family
15:48struggled for months
15:50not knowing
15:51what happened
15:52to those girls.
15:54With no leads
15:56and concern
15:57mounting for
15:58the whereabouts
15:59of Michelle
15:59and Melissa,
16:00police brought in
16:01Michigan State
16:02profiler
16:03David Minzey
16:04to help
16:05with their investigation.
16:08First thing I did
16:10was make sure
16:10that I go meet
16:11with detectives.
16:14I wanted to know
16:15the things that
16:15weren't in the report,
16:16what bothered them,
16:17what about that case
16:19was troubling them.
16:21We focus on
16:22the victimology.
16:24These are very
16:24low-risk victims
16:26who now are missing.
16:28Something terrible
16:29likely happened to them
16:30and to help them
16:32develop media releases
16:33that will hopefully
16:34get the good tips
16:35to look more
16:36into the background.
16:37A closer look
16:40at the Milford area
16:41revealed that cases
16:42of female missing persons
16:44were rather uncommon,
16:46highlighting chilling
16:47similarities
16:48between the Urban sisters
16:50and Cami Villanueva.
16:53It must have begun
16:54to strike
16:55the authorities
16:56that the disappearance
16:58of three high school girls
17:01within a period
17:02of literally
17:03three weeks
17:05was quite unusual.
17:07They lived
17:08in a very rural area,
17:11very sparsely populated.
17:13Crime was
17:14almost non-existent
17:17up there.
17:19All of a sudden
17:20we had something
17:21pop up here
17:22in Oakland County
17:23primarily,
17:25in fact,
17:25in the Milford area.
17:26And I grew up there
17:27so I knew
17:28that the area
17:29did not have
17:29a whole lot of crime,
17:30particularly involving
17:31missing teenage girls.
17:35Something came
17:37into this area
17:38and likely was connected
17:40to all of these victims
17:41and we needed
17:41to find out
17:42who that was.
17:46Just one year
17:47before the teenagers
17:48went missing
17:49from Oakland County,
17:5137-year-old
17:52Leslie Allen Williams
17:53had been granted
17:55early release
17:56from prison
17:56after serving
17:57just six years
17:59of a maximum
18:0030-year sentence
18:01for attempted
18:02kidnapping
18:03and sexual assault.
18:06He was released
18:07very quickly
18:08in 1990.
18:10He was surprised
18:11to be paroled
18:12that early.
18:15His first residence
18:16was in Wayne County,
18:18Michigan.
18:20The parole officer
18:22that he saw there
18:23said that Williams
18:24complied with everything
18:25that was required of him.
18:27He was checking
18:28off the boxes.
18:29He was working a job
18:31and then he was providing
18:32proof that he was
18:33working a job.
18:34He was showing them
18:34his check stubs.
18:36He was reporting
18:37in regularly.
18:39He was engaged
18:40in counseling.
18:42He moved
18:43to Oakland County.
18:45His parole agent
18:47changed.
18:48So once again,
18:50new eyes
18:51looking at him
18:53but he was still
18:54complying with
18:55the requirements
18:56that the parole board
18:57had set for him.
19:00His parole officers
19:01over the years
19:02considered him
19:04what they called
19:04a model parolee.
19:06He seemed to be doing
19:08everything that he was
19:09expected to do.
19:11He caused no trouble.
19:12He attracted no attention.
19:14In fact,
19:15I think one parole officer
19:16said that he was
19:17ideal to deal with.
19:20As Williams
19:21was settling
19:21into a new life,
19:23seemingly on the
19:24straight and narrow,
19:25Oakland County police
19:27were still baffled
19:28as to the whereabouts
19:29of 18-year-old
19:30Cammy Villanueva
19:31and teenage sisters
19:33Michelle and Melissa
19:35Urban.
19:36But before police
19:38could begin
19:38to connect the dots,
19:40another teenage girl
19:41would vanish
19:43into thin air.
19:44on January 4th, 1992,
19:5815-year-old schoolgirl
20:00Cynthia Jones
20:01was hanging out
20:02with her 16-year-old boyfriend
20:04in his car
20:05at Central Park
20:06in Milford.
20:07Cindy was an archetypal
20:11high school girl.
20:12She was an honor student.
20:14She was a cheerleader.
20:15She was cheerful.
20:16She was very much
20:18happy with her boyfriend.
20:20They were in the car
20:21and while they were
20:23sitting there in the car,
20:24this man ran up to them
20:26in a ski mask
20:27and tells them
20:30he has to have the car.
20:31Get out of the car.
20:32I need the car.
20:34He gives them a story
20:35that he just robbed a place.
20:36And so he forces them
20:38out of the car.
20:40You can imagine
20:41they were very frightened.
20:42And he marches the couple
20:44into a nearby wooded area
20:46where he proceeds
20:48to tie up the boyfriend
20:50to one of the trees.
20:53The boyfriend tries to escape
20:55but the man with the ski mask
20:57ushers Cindy
20:59into a wood
21:01not far away
21:03and it's the last
21:04the boyfriend ever sees of her.
21:06Just minutes later
21:09the boyfriend
21:10freed himself
21:11from his restraints
21:12and called the police.
21:14They searched the entire park
21:17but despite their best efforts
21:19they were unable
21:20to find any clues
21:22to Cynthia's whereabouts
21:23nor the identity
21:25of her abductor.
21:27Her boyfriend
21:30was not able
21:30to identify him
21:31because his identity
21:32was obscured
21:33but still
21:34at least
21:35her boyfriend
21:36was able
21:36to report this
21:37to police
21:38so they knew
21:39that Cindy
21:40had been abducted.
21:42But the lack
21:44of details
21:44on the assailant
21:46meant the police
21:47were struggling
21:47to find the teenage
21:49couple's attacker.
21:51Predators
21:52are really difficult
21:53to identify
21:54and to capture
21:56and there's
21:57quite a few reasons
21:59for that
21:59the biggest one
22:00obviously being
22:01that they
22:02rarely have
22:03any relationship
22:05to the person
22:07that they've assaulted
22:07nothing that
22:09links them
22:10in any way.
22:12Police have to start
22:14from a position
22:15of
22:15there's 30,000 people
22:17that live in this area
22:18it could be
22:18any one of them.
22:19They have to go on
22:20other motivations
22:23forms of evidence
22:25identifying suspects.
22:27As a result
22:29police had to consider
22:30one potential suspect.
22:33Because of the
22:34odd circumstances
22:36the boyfriend
22:38he was thought
22:39to be a suspect
22:40for the longest time.
22:44Was he trying
22:45to cover up
22:46the fact
22:47that she'd run away?
22:48Was he trying
22:48to cover up
22:49even worse
22:50that he'd killed her
22:51and hidden her body?
22:53Police could find
22:54absolutely no evidence
22:56to suggest
22:57Cynthia's boyfriend
22:58was involved
22:59in her disappearance
23:00and he was
23:01officially ruled out
23:03as a suspect
23:03six days later.
23:06The 16 year old boyfriend
23:07was traumatised
23:09by this experience.
23:10How could he not have been?
23:11He's watched the girl
23:12he was fallen in love with
23:14being escorted away
23:16by a masked man.
23:17He's left tied
23:18to a tree
23:18and then he's suspected
23:19of Cindy's abduction.
23:21It is something
23:22that would be very
23:23very difficult
23:23to recover from.
23:26With their only suspect
23:28eliminated
23:29from the inquiry
23:30police were no closer
23:32to finding
23:32Cynthia's true kidnapper.
23:38Four missing girls
23:40that turn up
23:41in the span
23:41of a few months
23:42from September 1991
23:43to January 1992
23:45and you have
23:46three different
23:47police departments
23:48that are investigating
23:50their disappearance.
23:53There were cross-jurisdictional
23:55boundaries
23:56where the communication
23:58wasn't always there.
24:00This was at a time
24:01before there were
24:02yellow alerts
24:03which in the United States
24:06and in Michigan
24:07when there are
24:08missing juveniles
24:10there are alerts
24:12sent out over
24:12cell phones
24:13telling people
24:14watch for these people
24:16they're missing
24:17they may be endangered
24:19but there was no indication
24:21at that time
24:22that they were connected.
24:23The luck of the police
24:27would soon change.
24:32Over four months later
24:34on May the 24th 1992
24:37Oakland County's
24:39deputy sheriff
24:39was taking a traffic
24:41accident report
24:42in Springfield Township
24:44when a panicked man
24:45approached
24:46and told him
24:47about an attack
24:48that was happening
24:49in a nearby cemetery.
24:51He's there to visit
24:52his dad's grave.
24:54He pulls up in his car
24:56and there's another vehicle
24:57sitting there
24:57in the way
24:58blocking his path
24:59and one of the doors
25:01of the car is open
25:02but the car is empty.
25:04He looks off
25:05in the distance
25:06and he sees this man
25:08that appears to be
25:09assaulting this woman.
25:13And meanwhile
25:13this man looks over
25:15and sees this guy
25:16notice him
25:17and that's when he says
25:19leave us alone
25:21we're just having sex.
25:24This witness
25:25was knowing
25:26that was not the case.
25:27They were both
25:27fully clothed
25:28for one thing
25:29and this did not appear
25:30to be a sexual situation.
25:32This seemed to be
25:32a violent assault.
25:35The woman is clearly
25:36being attacked
25:37and the passerby
25:40goes and finds
25:41a traffic policeman
25:42who's not far away.
25:44The policeman
25:45comes back.
25:47He was speeding
25:48out of the cemetery
25:49as the cop was coming in
25:51and the cop realized
25:51okay that's the guy
25:52and chased him
25:54and this started
25:55a little bit
25:56of a harrowing
25:57car chase
25:58that was also
25:59a foot chase
26:01because at one point
26:02this man wrecked his car
26:04and got out on foot
26:05and tried to get away.
26:07After an intense chase
26:09police were able
26:10to capture
26:11their assailants
26:12and they were shocked
26:13to learn
26:14that this wasn't
26:15their suspect's
26:16first time
26:17in handcuffs.
26:18He revealed himself
26:19as 38-year-old
26:21seasoned criminal
26:22Leslie Allen Williams.
26:25Williams is
26:26slightly shamefaced
26:27but nevertheless
26:28is arrested
26:30on suspicion
26:31of the attack
26:32on the woman
26:33in the cemetery
26:34but then announces
26:35to the officer
26:36that actually
26:38the woman
26:38he was attacking
26:39is in the boot
26:41of his car
26:41and she won't be able
26:42to breathe for very long
26:43as she's in there.
26:46She was near death
26:49I believe
26:49because she was
26:51being asphyxiated
26:52by some sort of
26:54device around her neck.
26:56Williams had placed
26:57her in the trunk
26:58reportedly with
26:59one of his
27:00plastic ties
27:01that he liked to use
27:02around her neck
27:03and so
27:04the police officer
27:05was able to
27:06get into the trunk
27:08and get to her
27:09right before
27:10anything terrible
27:12happened
27:12and rescue her.
27:17The police officer
27:19reached the woman
27:20just in time
27:21and she was
27:22quickly transported
27:23to hospital
27:23where she made
27:24a full recovery.
27:27With the victim safe
27:29the focus shifted
27:30to questioning
27:31her attacker.
27:33Williams was arrested
27:35taken into police custody
27:37and as they were
27:39talking to him
27:40he really wasn't
27:41giving much up.
27:44Because of looking
27:45at his criminal history
27:47and past
27:49that further investigation
27:52was done
27:53there was a search warrant
27:55that was executed
27:57at his home.
27:59They found plastic
28:01zip ties
28:01they found the shovel
28:03in his car too
28:04so they knew
28:05there was something
28:05more to this guy
28:06than just
28:07trying to attack
28:09somebody in a cemetery
28:10and when they
28:12searched his house
28:14they found a ring.
28:17That ring
28:18belonged to
28:18none other
28:19than the missing
28:2018 year old
28:21Cami Villanueva.
28:25Suspecting Williams
28:26may be involved
28:27in Cami's disappearance
28:28they made contact
28:30with his ex-girlfriend
28:31to find out more
28:33about the man
28:34they had in custody
28:35and what she had
28:37to say
28:38filled them
28:39with dread.
28:41She told police
28:42how she had
28:44during their relationship
28:45given Williams
28:46a kitten
28:47to take care of
28:48and Williams
28:49told her later
28:50that he killed
28:50the kitten
28:50for whatever reason
28:52who knows
28:53but he also buried
28:54the kitten
28:55and so police
28:56were very interested.
28:58Williams'
28:59ex-girlfriend
29:00gave police
29:01the location
29:02of the burial site
29:03and on a hunch
29:04that Williams
29:05might have revisited
29:06a place
29:07he already knew
29:08they headed
29:09straight for it.
29:10They started digging
29:12and they realized
29:13that they were
29:14about to discover
29:15Cami Villanueva.
29:21Once presented
29:22with the overwhelming
29:23evidence
29:24Williams had no choice
29:26but to confess
29:27to Cami's murder
29:28and what he revealed
29:31next added
29:32a disturbing twist.
29:35When he was on parole
29:36from prison
29:37in 1990
29:38he worked
29:39in a gas station
29:40and another girl
29:43who worked
29:43in a gas station
29:44had a sister
29:46called Cami Villanueva.
29:50Williams would actually
29:51see Cami coming
29:53to the gas station
29:54where he worked.
29:55He was aware
29:56of where they lived
29:57and what their habits were.
29:58absolutely
30:00Williams' cup of tea
30:02and so
30:03when he gets
30:04out of jail
30:04one of the first
30:06people he targets
30:08is Cami Villanueva.
30:12Cami was home alone.
30:15She was in her bedroom.
30:16She was sitting there
30:17playing solitaire
30:18with a deck of cards.
30:21Williams told investigators
30:22that after donning
30:24a ski mask
30:25in a bid
30:25to disguise himself
30:27he approached
30:28the home
30:28of Cami Villanueva
30:30armed
30:30with a pocket knife.
30:32He realized
30:33that her door
30:34was unlocked.
30:36He came inside.
30:39He abducted her.
30:41He forced her
30:43into his car.
30:44He took her
30:45to another location.
30:47Williams takes her
30:49to a cemetery
30:49not very far away
30:51where he proceeds
30:53to rape her
30:55and to kill her.
30:57His method
30:57was strangulation
30:58which is very common
30:59among killers
31:00because it's up close
31:01and personal.
31:03You get an opportunity
31:04to interact
31:05with your victim
31:06and control their life.
31:08That's the ultimate
31:08exercise of power
31:10and I think
31:11that that's what he did.
31:14He actually
31:15dug a shallow grave
31:16in a field
31:17and buried her
31:20only to revisit
31:22her months later.
31:25There were reports
31:27that Williams
31:29had dug up
31:30and had sex
31:31with the body.
31:32So there's some kind
31:32of necrophilia
31:33going on here.
31:35That is not
31:37unheard of
31:38with killers.
31:39They will
31:40if they can
31:41revisit
31:42a body
31:44again
31:44to get that
31:46emotional
31:47moment
31:48relive it
31:50maybe
31:50re-assault
31:52the victim.
31:54How could somebody
31:55come back
31:56and the smell
31:57is terrible
31:58and the condition
31:59of the body
32:00is bad
32:00how could they
32:01do that?
32:02But we're talking
32:03about people
32:03who are wired
32:04differently
32:04that going back
32:06allows him
32:07to relive
32:07that whole event
32:08over and over again
32:09Leslie Allen-Williams
32:13had confessed
32:14to the murder
32:15of Cammy Villanueva
32:16and he hadn't
32:18finished yet.
32:19As he continued
32:20to talk
32:21the 38-year-old
32:23would reveal
32:24even more
32:25disturbing information
32:26that would leave
32:27detectives
32:28horrified.
32:39On the evening
32:41of May
32:41the 27th
32:431992
32:43in the
32:45Oakland County
32:46Sheriff's Office
32:4738-year-old
32:48Leslie Allen-Williams
32:50had confessed
32:51to raping
32:51and killing
32:5218-year-old
32:53Cammy Villanueva
32:54eight months
32:55earlier.
32:57What began
32:59as a single
32:59admission
33:00soon snowballed
33:02into a cascade
33:03of confessions.
33:04When Williams
33:06was interviewed
33:07by the
33:08sheriff's deputies
33:09and began
33:10telling about
33:11Cammy
33:12he also admitted
33:13to the kidnapping
33:14and murder
33:15of the
33:16Urban sisters.
33:18The two
33:20teenage sisters
33:2116-year-old
33:22Michelle
33:22and 14-year-old
33:24Melissa Urban
33:25had gone missing
33:26on September
33:27the 29th
33:281991
33:29after going
33:30out for a walk.
33:31It had been
33:33a cold case
33:34for eight months
33:35until now.
33:38At that point
33:39the state police
33:40in Brighton
33:41was contacted
33:42our detective
33:43bureau was
33:44activated
33:44we were able
33:45to take
33:46Williams
33:47into our
33:48custody
33:48and interview
33:50him.
33:52Williams
33:53admitted
33:53he'd been
33:54watching
33:54the Urban
33:55sisters
33:55for several
33:56days.
33:58The reason
33:59he was up
33:59in that area
34:01stalking people
34:02was because
34:03he was
34:03court ordered
34:04to see
34:05a psychotherapist
34:07who
34:09was
34:10just miles
34:11away from
34:12where the
34:12Urban sisters
34:13lived.
34:16They went
34:17out for a walk
34:18near their home
34:19in that remote
34:19area
34:20and Williams
34:21realized this
34:22he saw them
34:24and he hid
34:25in some bushes
34:26and he waited
34:26for them
34:27to come up
34:28on him
34:29and he jumped
34:30out.
34:31And with a
34:32small pocket
34:33knife
34:34he threatened
34:35the girls
34:36grabbing one
34:37of them
34:38the other
34:39girl submitted
34:40to his demands
34:41fearing for
34:43her sister.
34:46And what's
34:46more had gone
34:47to the lengths
34:47of taking
34:48photographs
34:48of them
34:49which he'd
34:50kept as
34:50souvenirs
34:51which again
34:51the police
34:52found
34:52in their
34:53search of
34:53his house.
34:55Taking a trophy
34:57really is
34:58about a
34:58conquest.
34:59You hear the
35:00term souvenir
35:00and trophy.
35:01A souvenir
35:01just means
35:02that we
35:02were at
35:03some place.
35:04A trophy
35:04means that
35:05we won.
35:06We conquered
35:07something.
35:08And so taking
35:08those things
35:09allows him
35:10to relive
35:10those events
35:11over and
35:12over again.
35:14He first
35:15tried to
35:16completely
35:17incapacitate
35:17them with
35:18starter fluid
35:19much like
35:20an ether
35:21to put them
35:22to sleep
35:22and suffocated
35:24them.
35:29After
35:29killing
35:30the two
35:30girls
35:31Williams
35:31told
35:32detectives
35:33that he
35:33drove
35:33four miles
35:34to the
35:35outskirts
35:35of Fenton
35:36Michigan
35:37where he
35:38callously
35:38buried
35:39the
35:39teenage
35:39sisters
35:40once again
35:41digging
35:41a shallow
35:42grave
35:43in a
35:43nearby
35:44cemetery.
35:45He
35:46covered
35:47the
35:47Urban
35:47Sisters
35:47with
35:48blankets
35:49and
35:50that
35:51quite
35:51possibly
35:52was to
35:52protect
35:52the
35:53bodies
35:53from
35:54the
35:55earth
35:55and
35:56everything
35:56around
35:57them
35:57to
35:57perhaps
35:57keep
35:58them
35:58in a
35:59better
36:00state
36:00for a
36:01longer
36:01time.
36:04He
36:05didn't
36:05bury them
36:06deep
36:06enough
36:07that he
36:08couldn't
36:08get
36:08access
36:09to
36:09them.
36:11Williams
36:12also revealed
36:13his cruel
36:14final words
36:15to the
36:16terrified
36:16young
36:17sisters.
36:18He
36:19told them
36:19that he
36:20would let
36:20them
36:20go.
36:22He
36:22told
36:22them
36:23that if
36:23they
36:23just
36:24did
36:24what
36:25he
36:25said
36:25they'd
36:26be
36:26okay.
36:27He'd
36:27release
36:27them.
36:28And I
36:29think
36:29that makes
36:29it way
36:30worse.
36:32In
36:32police
36:33custody
36:33Williams
36:34had confessed
36:35to three
36:36murders.
36:37But he
36:37didn't stop
36:38there.
36:39Detectives
36:39were about
36:40to discover
36:40one final
36:41victim.
36:4315-year-old
36:44schoolgirl
36:44Cynthia Jones
36:45who was
36:46abducted
36:47whilst on
36:48a date
36:49with her
36:49boyfriend
36:49in Central
36:51Park
36:51in Milford.
36:53He took
36:54Cindy in
36:55his car
36:56and like
36:57with the
36:57other victims
36:58he raped
36:59her.
37:00He did
37:00change his
37:02M.O.
37:02a little bit
37:03though.
37:04He had
37:05strangled
37:05Cammie
37:06Villanueva.
37:07He had
37:08suffocated
37:09the two
37:09girls.
37:10But then
37:10with Cynthia
37:11Jones
37:12he actually
37:13stabbed her
37:14in the chest
37:14with his
37:15knife
37:16and buried
37:17her in
37:18a shallow
37:18grave.
37:20Now there
37:21could be
37:21many reasons
37:23for that.
37:23It could
37:24be that
37:25she got
37:26out of
37:26his control.
37:28It could
37:28be that
37:29he needed
37:30to do it
37:31very quickly
37:32and efficiently
37:33and to
37:34strangle
37:35someone takes
37:35longer
37:36potentially
37:37than
37:38stabbing
37:39someone.
37:40After
37:41confessing
37:42to the
37:42murders
37:43of the
37:43four
37:44teenagers
37:44Williams
37:45made
37:46one
37:46final
37:47deal
37:47with
37:48police.
37:49When
37:50they
37:50were
37:50able
37:50to
37:51obtain
37:51confessions
37:52from
37:52Williams
37:53he
37:54agreed
37:54to
37:55take
37:55them
37:55to
37:55where
37:56the
37:56other
37:56girls
37:56were
37:58buried.
37:58So that
37:58was up
37:59to the
37:59cemetery
38:00in
38:00Fenton
38:00where
38:01the
38:01urban
38:01girls
38:01were
38:02buried
38:02and
38:03then
38:03that
38:03was
38:03to
38:03the
38:03other
38:04part
38:04of
38:04Bunow
38:05Road
38:05where
38:06Cindy
38:06Jones
38:07was
38:07buried.
38:07I
38:09think
38:09Williams
38:10confessing
38:11was for
38:12his own
38:12benefit
38:12and
38:13absolutely
38:14nobody
38:14else's
38:15benefit
38:15whatsoever.
38:16If he
38:17says look
38:17I can
38:17help you
38:18find more
38:19bodies
38:19and see
38:20what a
38:20great guy
38:21I am
38:21and see
38:22how sincere
38:23I am
38:24because this
38:25might help
38:26with him
38:27making arguments
38:28that he wants
38:29to change
38:30or that
38:31he feels
38:32remorse
38:32or guilt
38:33or shame.
38:34With an
38:35overwhelming
38:36amount of
38:37evidence
38:37in front
38:38of him
38:38including
38:39photographs
38:40of the
38:40Urban
38:41sisters
38:41Cammy
38:42Villanova's
38:43ring
38:44and the
38:44bodies
38:45Williams
38:46decided to
38:47plead guilty
38:47to all
38:48four murders
38:49at the
38:49Oakland
38:50County
38:50Court
38:51on
38:51June
38:51the
38:523rd
38:521992.
38:55He
38:55said
38:56something
38:56to the
38:56effect
38:57that he
38:57just
38:57wanted
38:58to save
38:58the
38:58taxpayers
38:59the
38:59expense
39:00and save
39:01everybody
39:01the grief
39:02save
39:02the
39:02victim
39:03family
39:03members
39:03the grief
39:04of going
39:05through a
39:05trial.
39:06So it
39:06was pretty
39:07quick
39:07that he
39:08was
39:08sentenced.
39:08He was
39:09arrested
39:09in May
39:101992
39:10and he
39:11was sentenced
39:12to everything
39:12in July
39:131992
39:14without a
39:15trial.
39:17In
39:18Michigan
39:18the
39:19punishment
39:20for
39:20first degree
39:21murder
39:22capital
39:22murder
39:23is
39:24mandatory
39:24life
39:25in
39:25prison
39:25without
39:26parole.
39:28Kidnapping
39:28in Michigan
39:29also carries
39:30a life
39:31sentence.
39:33On July
39:35the 7th
39:351992
39:36Williams
39:37was sentenced
39:38to life
39:39without parole
39:40for the
39:40murder of
39:41Cynthia
39:41Jones.
39:42Later
39:43that day
39:43he was
39:44given
39:44four
39:44consecutive
39:45life
39:45terms
39:46for
39:46kidnapping
39:47attempted
39:48murder
39:48and the
39:49attempted
39:49rape
39:50of the
39:50woman
39:50at the
39:51Springfield
39:51Township
39:52Cemetery.
39:54Williams
39:55was also
39:56sentenced
39:56to life
39:57for
39:57Cammie's
39:57murder
39:58on
39:58September
39:59the 24th
40:00and for
40:00the
40:00Urban
40:01sisters
40:01murder
40:02on
40:02October
40:03the 5th.
40:05Cindy's
40:06mother
40:06was
40:07horrified
40:08by the
40:09fact that
40:10her daughter
40:10had been
40:11killed
40:12by a man
40:13who'd been
40:14let out of
40:14prison
40:14when he
40:15shouldn't
40:15have been.
40:17Unfortunately
40:17it's a plea
40:18we hear so
40:19often from
40:20the victims
40:21of crime
40:22particularly
40:22violent
40:23murder.
40:24When he
40:39was serving
40:39a 30-year
40:40sentence
40:41back in
40:421983
40:42for
40:43kidnap
40:43and sexual
40:44assault
40:45Williams'
40:46prison
40:46psychiatrist
40:47wrote
40:48in her
40:48report
40:49that she
40:50felt he
40:50was making
40:51good progress
40:52and was
40:52eligible
40:53for
40:54rehabilitation.
40:56The year
40:57that Williams
40:58was released
40:59from prison
41:00on parole
41:01there were
41:02I believe
41:0311,000
41:04people
41:04in Michigan
41:06that went
41:07before the
41:07parole board.
41:09The parole
41:10board released
41:11almost 9,000
41:13of those people
41:13on parole.
41:16Subsequent
41:17to Williams'
41:18convictions
41:19and sentencing
41:20the parents
41:23of Michelle
41:23and Melissa
41:24Urban
41:24were instrumental
41:26in making
41:29changes
41:30to the way
41:31the parole
41:32board in
41:32Michigan
41:33reviews people
41:34and releases
41:36people.
41:38There was
41:39legislation
41:39enacted
41:40later in
41:401992
41:41as I
41:42understand
41:42to reform
41:44Michigan's
41:45parole system
41:45so I guess
41:46you could say
41:47that that's
41:47something that
41:48hopefully
41:48is good
41:49that has come
41:49out of the
41:50case.
41:52And it
41:52wasn't just
41:53the families
41:54that were
41:54impacted
41:55by these
41:56tragic killings.
41:58I'll tell you
41:59you know
41:59people who work
42:00on a serial
42:01killer case
42:02never want
42:04to do that
42:04again.
42:05It is so
42:05physically
42:06and emotionally
42:07draining
42:08that you know
42:09it affects
42:09their family life
42:10because they're
42:11spending more
42:11time on the
42:12case.
42:13You know
42:13there's a lot
42:14pressure
42:14from the
42:15media
42:15from the
42:16public
42:16from you
42:17know
42:17your boss
42:18to solve
42:18these cases
42:19and while you
42:20do feel good
42:21that we
42:21caught the
42:22guy
42:22it's
42:23something that
42:23they really
42:24don't want
42:24to have to
42:25go through
42:25again.
42:28My
42:28department
42:29the Michigan
42:29State
42:29Police
42:30have
42:31counselors
42:32and
42:32psychologists
42:33on staff
42:34because they
42:35know of
42:36the toll
42:36that
42:38investigations
42:38can have.
42:39I personally
42:42feel there
42:43is no such
42:43thing as
42:44justice
42:44in a case
42:45like this.
42:46The girls
42:47will never
42:47be brought
42:47back.
42:49The only
42:50thing we
42:51have is
42:52the knowledge
42:53that Williams
42:54will never
42:54be able to
42:55do this
42:55again
42:55and so
42:57that the
42:58other young
42:58women out
42:59there
42:59will be
43:00safe.
43:06The
43:07decision
43:07to release
43:08Leslie
43:09Alan
43:09Williams
43:10early
43:10proved to
43:11be
43:11catastrophic.
43:13He was
43:13a dangerous
43:14seasoned
43:15criminal
43:15whose
43:16frequent
43:16appearances
43:17in and
43:18out of
43:18prison
43:19didn't
43:19deter him
43:20from taking
43:21the lives
43:21of Camille
43:22Villanueva,
43:23sisters
43:24Michelle
43:24and Melissa
43:25Urban
43:25and 15
43:26year old
43:27Cynthia
43:27Jones
43:28in the
43:29space
43:29of just
43:29nine
43:30months.
43:31This
43:31undoubtedly
43:32makes
43:32Leslie
43:33Alan
43:33Williams
43:34one of
43:35the world's
43:36most evil
43:36killers.
