48 Hours presents Michelle and Greg Williams K been married for some time and she was
00:00:12
enjoying a nice lifestyle his job was to make the money and Michelle's job was to
00:00:16
spend the money Greg treated me like a queen he showed me a world that before him I had no means to
00:00:25
have my mother she captivating she's easy on the eyes she's extremely intelligent just being able to say the
00:00:31
right things at the right time to get what she wants my brother treated her like
00:00:37
gold she had everything did you feel as though Michelle targeted your brother once she realized he had money she was
00:00:45
all about the money the lifestyle Michelle Williams is a manipulator she's had great success
00:00:51
manipulating men she's manipulated husbands she's manipulated boyfriends she had to be the center stage at all
00:00:59
times you know she thought she was God's [Music] gift I hear an echoing sound that wakes me up I walked to the
00:01:19
bedroom and all of a sudden I get hit Greg's in bed and I realized oh my God he's been shot I'm the one where the
00:01:30
emergency oh my God I called my sister and told her Greg is dead Michelle killed
00:01:40
him you know that's where I'm trying to determine did I hear The Gunshot did I see the per I don't know what I saw
00:01:48
first there were parts of the story that really didn't make a lot of sense the first time that she told it this is CS
00:01:55
almost 3 months after a color man was found shot in his own bed police have arrested his wife your we became
00:02:02
convinced very quickly that indeed that Michelle was responsible for this there was no eyewitness there were some
00:02:08
shortcomings in the investigation no fingerprints there was a question of the crime scene being tampered with no DNA
00:02:13
that links Michelle to this killing the Judgment was made to to offer a plea deal they didn't have the evidence to go
00:02:20
forward with a murder trial at the time the District Attorney's Office wanted her and the judge wanted her to take
00:02:28
responsibility and what changed well primarily the interview please have a seat here that Michelle did with you
00:02:36
immediately before the judge was to accept her plea deal every time I watch a client in an interview I start to
00:02:46
think oh man we're really screwed did you murder your husband Greg no I did not that undermines the validity of her
00:02:56
plea and caused me to go in and ask the judge to strike that plea Lady Justice may very well be blind but
00:03:04
she's neither deaf nor stupid if you're innocent have a trial let the chips fall they
00:03:13
make the state is going to produce videos of the show 48 Hours who shot Greg I have my
00:03:24
assumptions I've been trying cases for more than 40 Years Michelle Williams case has to rank up there is one of the
00:03:30
most bizarre that I've been involved in had murder had sex contradictions had a little bit of
00:03:42
everything I'm Peter vanand tonight on 48 Hours Temptation in [Music] Texas [Music]
00:04:01
48 hours we'll be back in 90 [Music] seconds 91 where is the emergency take a deep
00:04:27
breath it took nearly 3 years a murder trial involving a Keller woman accused of killing her husband but prosecutor
00:04:35
Jack Strickland finally has Michelle Williams just where he wants her in court charged with the murder of her
00:04:43
wealthy husband Greg Williams she sees the killer of her husband every single day that she gets up and looks in the
00:04:52
mirror every single day so you bet your bottom dollar that she knows who killed her husband cuz it's her in the
00:05:02
defendant's chair Michelle looks dramatically different from the seductive Vixen who had enjoyed the good
00:05:08
life with gray gone is that inviting smile of this once proud mother to understand Michelle
00:05:16
Williams Journey from wealthy Suburban housewife to murder suspect here at the Taran County Courthouse you have to go
00:05:24
back and look at her Tangled history which has soap opera written all over it Michelle's life is a twisted tale of
00:05:32
lies manipulations betrayals and fractured lives I was 17 when I got pregnant with my first son by the age of
00:05:41
24 Michelle had three children two boys and a girl by two different men then a second marriage but Michelle says that
00:05:51
all her relationships before Greg ended because the men cheated on her she cites
00:05:58
just one example had an affair on me with a 17-year-old dental assistant girl who to this day
00:06:06
she remembers it quite well but her younger son Andrew now 27 says it wasn't the men who were cheating she cheated on
00:06:15
my dad got remarried to another man cheated on him left him for another man uh cheated on him and got with Greg what
00:06:24
do you say to the allegation that you have never been faithful to any of your husbands I said that's an absolute
00:06:33
lie and her older son Lee says his life as a kid with his mother was Madness involving strip clubs and many
00:06:43
men when my mom was doing dirty stuff for money and I was sort of just tagged along dirty stuff yeah I mean I I knew
00:06:52
she was working at a strip club at one point um topless bar baby dolls I know that you believe your mom at at times
00:07:00
was a prostitute I believe there's a very good possibility that she was if she wasn't getting paid for it I know
00:07:06
she was sleeping around but in 2007 Michelle hit the jackpot when she married Greg Williams so we were in the
00:07:15
$800,000 house he was a successful bus he had a Mercedes in the in the garage two Mercedes in the garage we both we
00:07:22
got them for our aniversary together she was never nice to me I didn't like her from the very beginning Greg's sister
00:07:30
Michelle and his brother Michael always felt the other Michelle as they called her was bad news Michael was there at
00:07:39
Greg and Michelle's first date we went to a nightclub afterwards and she was just I mean I don't know if
00:07:49
I can say on television but you just did well okay she was just doing some things in a bar to my brother that
00:07:59
I just I just don't think of most people get a room there you go yeah Michelle Williams brazenly used her
00:08:12
sexuality with the men in her life and even tried it with her brother-in-law brenn
00:08:20
Fletcher she crawled up into the attic at my brother's house and said she needed his help and when she crawled up
00:08:28
to the Attic she wasn't wearing anything under her skirt and with many men including Greg
00:08:38
Williams her tactics seemed to work he bought her whatever she needed whatever she wanted she had everything and he
00:08:46
treated her like gold Greg was a big strong self-made man a brilliant computer engineer a
00:08:55
workaholic who had built a successful business that that he ran out of his home he was a genius he he really was he
00:09:03
was a Salesman he could sell anything to anybody he and Michelle had a four-year-old daughter together Michaela
00:09:13
and Greg already had a daughter Taylor 14 at the time with his ex-wife come momy kiss you thank by all accounts he
00:09:22
was devoted to both his daughters essentially I lost my protector the person that I could always go to when I
00:09:29
was upset and if I just wanted to go talk about something random and spend time with my dad he would do that for me
00:09:35
because he's my dad you miss him yes sir he was the most amazing man he loved me
00:09:44
and he loved our daughter so much he took really good care of me we were very happy
00:09:56
together Michelle says every everything was going great till that night it all happened what's going
00:10:09
on my mom called me she said Bill wants to talk to you Bill being my stepfather and Bill
00:10:17
said you know your brother is dead and I'm like what and I I was like no no he's he's there's no
00:10:32
way I don't believe you why would Michelle ever want to kill the goose that's laying the golden
00:10:44
egg I think maybe he was tired of laying the golden egg but Michelle insists Greg was far
00:10:51
more important to her alive then dead [Music] [Music] michaa she was his world what do you miss now that Greg is
00:11:22
gone I miss his blue eyes no matter what was going on with anything else while Greg was there everything was
00:11:32
okay everything looked bright in Michelle Williams future in October 2011 we were about to close on a house
00:11:41
in 2 days we were deigning a new pool for Michaela to play in and everything was
00:11:50
awesome but Michelle's fanciful life came to a sudden end here in her home she says she was sleeping on a couch
00:11:58
here in the living room room with her daughter Michaela when in the middle of the night a sudden noise woke her up she
00:12:04
made her way to the master bedroom in the darkness Michelle claims someone smashed her in the face briefly knocking
00:12:11
her out when she came to she walks up to the bed and sees that Greg has been shot
00:12:17
Once In The Head Michelle calls 911 and when cops arrive they discover a very odd death scene Greg had been shot with
00:12:25
his own gun a wrench was lying next to the gun and there was no sign of forced entry and everything had been wiped
00:12:34
clean so this Intruder came in shot Greg and on his way out put the very gun that
00:12:43
he used to kill him on the floor by the back door I suppose so and again that's crazy you know
00:12:52
Killers Don't Leave the evidence behind why would he do that I don't know cops were immediately suspicious the
00:13:02
death scene seemed staged when Michelle was interviewed by police later that morning she kept telling the detective
00:13:09
about an intruder I heard a sound I get up I got hit by something I could see it
00:13:17
was nailed in dark stuff dark clothing where were you hit I was hit right here Michelle says this swollen mark on her
00:13:25
face is proof she was hit with that wrench found on the floor next to the gun but how was it both those items had
00:13:34
been wiped clean of any fingerprints those facts and everything Michelle don't add up police Sergeant John McGrew
00:13:41
turns up the heat on Michelle asserting that there are only two possible scenarios greay committed suicide or
00:13:49
Michelle had something to do with his death either his a self-inflicted and you covered it up or there's potential
00:13:57
that you may have been involved I did not hurt my husband and he did not hurt himself there was a man in my house
00:14:07
he keeps hammering her on that point again alls I have is what I have that's all I can say one of the two things will
00:14:14
happen one of those two things Michelle so find that CU I didn't do anything to my
00:14:22
husband okay this went on and on and back and forth back and forth back and forth do you feel as though you were
00:14:29
being pressured to change your story I totally was I was completely coarsed into it you need to tell me right now
00:14:36
finally come forward and talk to me after sergeant McGrew I'm just asking I'm just I want you to tell me now for
00:14:44
the time please tell me now I broke I was in shock if he did it and you covered it up just tell me
00:14:51
he huh so I couldn't let her know this D K Michelle tells the detective she didn't want her four-year-old daughter
00:15:05
to know her dad had committed suicide look at him BL everywhere I took Clorox wipes I
00:15:17
use Clorox wipes all over the house and I wiped the gun with the blanket that he
00:15:23
had right there and I set it down and I had to figure out what the hell to do at
00:15:28
that point I hope in the door has against on the door she also admits that bruise on her
00:15:35
face was self-inflicted in order to make it make some sense I had to have an injury and I
00:15:43
just spent myself and I sent myself too hard what's that rent it's a rent even after her police interview
00:15:52
Michelle told this same new story of a suicide to her older sister Laura she actually said oh my God Greg Greg shot
00:16:01
himself oh I better make this look like a crime scene so Michaela won't think that her dad shot
00:16:07
himself and then she said so then I went and cleaned his hands and cleaned the gun but investigators never believed
00:16:15
Michelle's new version that her husband committed suicide they felt the evidence
00:16:21
overwhelmingly pointed at her Michelle Williams was always a person of interest for police 3 months after Greg's Death
00:16:29
Michelle Williams was arrested and charged with murder did you murder your husband Greg
00:16:42
no I did not as police prepared to bring Michelle to Justice what they didn't count on and
00:16:50
neither did we is that Michelle would later change her story yet again meet you I've been wanting to tell this part
00:16:57
of the story for 2 years and 115 days if she's talking she's usually lying what do you think Michelle
00:17:11
Williams new version will be chat now on Twitter and Facebook she has told us both the stories of
00:17:31
suicide and Intruder she has told us everything and she keeps going back and forth Michelle Williams son Andrew says
00:17:39
right from the get-go his mother was telling different people different stories of how her husband died in their
00:17:48
bedroom with this life she can't decide which life she wants to make herself believe more I'm trying I'm trying so
00:17:55
hard to give you right details her last story to police in October 2011 was that
00:18:02
Greg committed suicide lead prosecutor Jack Strickland believed Michelle had murdered Greg but he was worried that
00:18:11
his case had holes in it there's no DNA that links Michelle to this murder correct that's correct no fingerprints
00:18:20
on the murder weapon that's correct there's no gunshot residue on her hands correct correct that's because Michelle
00:18:28
by her own account had cleaned the crime scene we didn't have fingerprints cuz she'd wiped things down she'd
00:18:34
repositioned the scene and she had wiped things down with I don't know how many Clorox wipes which she then flushed down
00:18:40
the toilet the Keller Police Department inexperienced at murder scenes had not done a great job in their initial
00:18:49
investigation there were mistakes made oh absolutely there were mistakes made absolutely they
00:18:55
were I believe that there was cross content contamination between the bedding and the body the person of Mr of
00:19:02
Mr Williams all right when when his body was transported from the scene to the medical examiner's office he was simply
00:19:10
wrapped in the sheets that were on the bed with all those problems in the case Strickland offered Michelle a plea
00:19:18
bargain rather than Murder She Could plead to tampering with evidence and a Texas charge called deadly conduct which
00:19:27
means wielding a weapon irresponsibly Michelle accepted how long do you think you will spend in prison a
00:19:35
couple of years in fact the plea deal carried a maximum sentence of up to 20 years but
00:19:43
Michelle was hoping for the minimum about 2 and a half years I took the plea deal to be able to get back home to my
00:19:49
daughter sooner than when she's 18 years old if I went to trial with not having the representation that I feel I needed
00:19:59
on this case I could lose the case and go away for 50 to 100 years when we did this interview
00:20:09
Michelle was waiting in jail to finalize her plea in a few days at a sentencing hearing she stunned Us by going back to
00:20:17
the original story she told police that Greg had been killed by a mysterious Intruder and I started coming to I saw
00:20:31
someone go out the front door and then she tried to explain how the murder happened in a way that is
00:20:39
frankly hard to believe I believe Greg reached for his which he kept under his nightstand right there by the bed and
00:20:49
this Intruder took the gun out of his hand and shot him out of the gun bag that's what I'm thinking I'm saying he
00:20:56
had his own weapon but it's I don't his opposite hand grabbed your husband's weapon and used that on him I
00:21:05
don't I don't have a theory I'm just saying I think they came into the house with a
00:21:11
gun Judge Scott wish learned about Michelle's new story from the deputies guarding her during the 48 Hours
00:21:19
interview Court will call for purposes of formal sentencing he hauled her into court if you're guilty then stand up
00:21:30
speak up and get it out the judge chews her out for denying what she had already pleaded guilty to
00:21:38
and don't play games with yourself with your lawyers or with the system prosecutor Jack Strickland asks Michelle
00:21:46
about that deadly conduct charge for firing the gun that killed Greg so let's start with a simple question are you in
00:21:54
fact factually guilty of that offense no I'm not I can go on Judge uh depending on
00:22:03
your ruling I will uh if you're not guilty of tampering if you're not guilty of deadly conduct the answer to that
00:22:09
question is a trial by a jury of your peers a trial for Murder She now denies all responsibility so her plea deal is
00:22:19
revoked rather than a few years in prison Michelle is rolling the dice with a possible life sentence if she is
00:22:26
convicted her sister is not surprised I always thought Michelle thought she could win the trial because I know she
00:22:36
thinks I'll work that jury on the eve of her trial in September 2014 3 years after Greg's death another
00:22:46
bombshell from Michelle her lawyer says the defense they're going with no we approach about
00:22:52
just two are you ready for this one of her earlier versions of the truth that Greg committed suicide why did Michelle
00:23:01
tell me that an intruder killed Greg was she lying to me well since Greg took his
00:23:09
own life clearly she was lying to you I love it I bet it fits perfect he 100% Believes In Me he has
00:23:39
not one doubt in his mind as she prepares to go on trial for murdering her husband there's only one man left in
00:23:48
Michelle Williams life who still believes she's innocent her new boyfriend personal trainer Jean Wallace
00:23:55
who is 12 years younger than Michelle that's the two love birds in this workout video Jean do you love Michelle
00:24:04
I most certainly do and what do you love about her I think that I love more than
00:24:08
anything else how incredible she is to her family Jean met Michelle through her son Lee
00:24:18
who used to be Jean's best friend through the growth of our relationship of course I got very very attached Lee
00:24:25
learned about the secret romance with Jean approached him at his mom's house and he said well I just wanted to come
00:24:33
up like a man because you're my friend and let you know that I'm probably going to sleep with your mom tonight and I
00:24:40
snapped that was it I I went full out I I was about to attack him your best friend is sleeping with your mother how
00:24:50
do you deal with that that is like one of the hardest things to deal with because it is the the utmost Betrayal on
00:24:59
both parties this is like the national Inquirer on steroids you know that it is you tabloid time 10 I and this is all
00:25:08
true you're telling me I'm telling you but there's more in the earlier plea deal Michelle had told the judge she was
00:25:15
pregnant in an effort to delay going to prison we were expecting twins unexpectedly was a sonogram done yes did
00:25:26
you see I've got pictures yes the judge agreed to delay the sentencing on her plea bargain until the
00:25:34
babies were born but it was all a lie I fell for it hook lion and sinker prosecutor Strickland was equally fooled
00:25:46
and I take responsibility for that I think that the likelihood that a defendant would come in with that story
00:25:54
developed to that degree under these outrageous circumstances was so farfetched that it never occurred to me
00:26:02
that somebody would do that so she manipulated me as well her sister Laura had seen this kind of Deceit before it's
00:26:11
one of her things if you will that she'll fake pregnancies she'll fake miscarriages um sometimes to to get
00:26:18
attention I mean there's been a lot of them throughout the years as the trial begins Strickland and
00:26:29
his co-prosecutor Sheila win are about to lay out their case against Michelle Williams truth and nothing but the truth
00:26:36
self God yes sir have SE and you are a veteran yourself yes ma'am the first witness is Andrew O'Brien Michelle's
00:26:44
younger son he tells the court an incredible story after Greg's death his mother used him to try to frame Greg's
00:26:53
ex-wife Kathy for the Murder She said uh call some friends tell them to pick up an extra- large sweater go somewhere and
00:27:02
fire a pistol so that the gunpowder residue would get onto the sweater break into Kathy's car hide the sweater under
00:27:09
a seat and go to a pay phone and call 911 and leave an anonymous tip so that cops would search her car and find the
00:27:18
sweater this trial is about Greg's murder and not all the lies and manipulations in Michelle's life so
00:27:25
prosecutors focus on a key factor that Greg Williams would never have committed suicide and they say the evidence proves
00:27:34
he didn't B on the photographs is clearly not a contact gunshot wound medical examiner Dr nisam Pani testifies
00:27:44
that in his 35 years on the job he has never seen a suicide from the distance the gun was from Greg's
00:27:53
head so beyond 6 in and less L than 24 in then Greg's mother Betty Middlebrooks testifies that her son would never have
00:28:07
taken his own life and if you D your right hand for me he was tired from working long hours but he was very happy
00:28:15
and bubbly and telling me all about the plans he had for the new house they were
00:28:20
buying as for what triggered the murder prosecutors pointed out through forensic
00:28:26
accountant Janette testimony it was money Michelle was signing for the withdrawals and they
00:28:32
total how much please 104,000 despite Greg's $800,000 income that year with Michelle's outof control spending they
00:28:44
weren't even going to be able to make the down payment on the house they were buying the total amount that they had in
00:28:51
all of their bank accounts was $28,600 she revealed that to him that night that we just can't do this we
00:29:01
don't have the money and I believe that an argument ensued I think he slapped her hit her in the face maybe he told
00:29:07
her we have no way of knowing all right this is the last draw this is over I don't think the Golden Goose was going
00:29:12
to produce anymore after that night and then she made sure of it because she shot him in the
00:29:18
head after spending most of Greg's Fortune prosecutors believe Michelle had only one source to turn to for cash
00:29:28
Greg's $850,000 life insurance policy and that says Cody kofer one of Michelle's lawyers is why she came up
00:29:38
with the Intruder story in the first place one of her last hopes at Bridging the financial gap to take care of her
00:29:46
daughter was an insurance policy that had a suicide clause and she would not be able to collect under that suicide
00:29:55
clause but that doesn't quite explain why she switched to suicide in her police interview and then switched back
00:30:03
to the intruder with 48 Hours hello Michelle hello Michelle never takes the stand to explain her many changing
00:30:13
stories and that makes her defense an uphill battle it's a substantial obstacle to get the jurors to I guess
00:30:22
forget that the accused has provided a story in consistent with the evidence and inconsistent with the defense
00:30:31
everyone may be seated and to drive that point home the state is going to introduce videos of the show 48 Hours
00:30:40
prosecutors show the jury excerpts from the 48 Hours episode that aired last April there was an intruder in the house
00:30:49
the interview that turned Michelle's life and this case upside down who shot Greg I have my assumptions
00:31:00
are we talking a relative possibly we used the 48 Hours tape to demonstrate not only that she
00:31:08
had changed her story yet again because she just couldn't leave well enough alone she'd added the additional fact is
00:31:15
Not only was it an intruder I think I know who the Intruder was okay and that was just beyond the
00:31:22
pale and so the tape was very very beneficial to us Michelle had accidentally become a witness against
00:31:30
herself and in his closing statement defense attorney Cody kofer speculates as to why Greg Williams had killed
00:31:40
himself he's lost his best friend to Suicide he lost his grandmother that was his Refuge uh in his childhood when he
00:31:48
started making bad decisions he's looking on his laptop at his bank statements and he knows that he can't do
00:31:54
this and he this is all totally outside the record sustain thank you can I have an instruction that the jury disregard
00:32:01
this entire narrative about what was going through Greg's mind jury will disregard the last
00:32:08
stat good morning folks the prosecutor then lowers the Boom in his closing the overwhelming the obvious the inexorable
00:32:18
fact is is that this woman killed her husband In Cold Blood she lied about it she lied about it she lied about it and
00:32:27
when she finished lying about it she kept on lying about it Time After Time After Time the blunt truth is folks that
00:32:35
this woman is a cold blooded killer it takes 7 hours over 2 days as jurors meticulously go over the
00:32:51
evidence then came the moment of truth Mr presiding juror it is my understanding the jury has reached a
00:33:00
verdict is that correct yes sir M Williams if you would stand please the verdict in cuse number 126 6846 D says
00:33:08
we the jury find the defendant Michelle Marie Williams guilty of the offense of murder moments later Michelle Williams
00:33:19
is overcome with emotion her lifetime of Lies having finally caught up with her [Music]
00:33:30
with Michelle's conviction it appears her story has come to an end but in this Twisted Texas tale there may be one last
00:33:38
term a former sister-in-law is convinced that Michelle has killed before I believe she's responsible for not just
00:33:48
my brother's death but my husband's death [Music] too [Music] I get ill every time I come out
00:34:13
here I know this is where she killed him I don't like being out here at all 10 months before Greg Williams was
00:34:25
murdered his sister Melle Fletcher said goodbye to her husband Brinn for the last time he worked for Greg and was
00:34:33
going on a business trip in the company pickup truck he kissed me goodbye I told him couldn't wait for him
00:34:40
to get back he said he couldn't wait to get home either Bren Fletcher drove out on
00:34:47
Highway 34 following directions Michelle Williams had given him Michelle would give Bren a map she would tell him which
00:34:55
way to go Bren was from England he didn't know these roads Brin was more than an employee to
00:35:02
Greg Williams he was also his best friend and Confidant I was happy uh he was looking forward to the future
00:35:10
everything was going great about 45 minutes into his Drive Bren pulled off the highway this is where his truck was
00:35:20
located and this on the parked on the other side of this Watchtower right here she believes it was Michelle who lured
00:35:29
him here truck was right in here right here why would Brin have ended up here on this road by this Tower uh I believe
00:35:38
Michelle knew this area this Tower stands out it would be an an easy place to meet someone to just point it out and
00:35:46
say hey meet me here when Ellis County sheriff's deputies answered a call about an
00:35:53
abandoned truck they found brinn's body he had been been shot Once In The Head and the county says it's a suicide
00:36:02
do you agree with that no I don't what do you believe it was I believe it was murder and who pulled the trigger
00:36:09
Michelle Williams you're certain of that yes Michelle came to that conclusion when
00:36:16
Michelle Williams was charged with killing Greg and Fletcher realized if she had killed Greg she might also have
00:36:24
killed Bren why would Michelle kill your husband to cover up all the lies to cover up the story she'd been telling
00:36:33
brenn would have been on to her Fletcher believes Brinn was about to tell Greg Williams about Michelle's out ofcontrol
00:36:41
Behavior the money she spent and a bizarre story accusing Greg's daughter Taylor of trying to poison her and if
00:36:51
Bren had told Greg what would have been the consequences of that Greg would have
00:36:55
gotten rid of her he would have divorced her they would have been done he wouldn't have put up with that he loved
00:37:00
his daughters so Fletcher believes Michelle Williams had to silence Brinn she killed him then tried to cover her
00:37:09
tracks by taking control when sheriff's deputies found brinn's body in his pickup
00:37:16
truck she told them not to talk to my sister she said she was distraught she told him to keep things from her not to
00:37:25
bother her that she would handle everything that Michelle Williams would handle it not Michelle
00:37:31
Fletcher Michelle Williams handled things all right she quickly arranged for brinn's body to be cremated
00:37:39
destroying any evidence that might raise questions and Fletcher says her sister-in-law tricked her to sign the
00:37:47
papers while she was out of her mind with grief you know I was feeling just signing whatever and I didn't realize I
00:37:56
had signed I'd sign the paperwork for Bren to be created the very next day she believes Michelle Williams even
00:38:04
fabricated an alibi for herself she made about six phone calls that I'm aware of
00:38:11
to her own family members uh basically trying to let them know that she was at Target now why would she be telling
00:38:19
people she's at Target an alibi she didn't want anyone to know where she was by the time Mich Fletcher gathered
00:38:27
her emotions and called the sheriff's department to tell them of her Theory it was too late they told me immediately
00:38:35
after speaking with Michelle and me that it was open closed suicide period and what did you say to them I said I don't
00:38:45
believe you I said he didn't kill himself official reports of what happened inside brin's car here at the
00:38:53
Watchtower are confusing the medical EX exiner says he was shot right here right
00:38:58
between the eyes the police report says he was shot on the right hand side the problem with that Brin is Left-Handed
00:39:07
the Ellis County Sheriff's Department told 48 hours they have no plans to reopen the case through her lawyer
00:39:15
Michelle Williams denies any involvement in brinn's death while it may never be known
00:39:23
whether Michelle Williams did murder Brin her there's little doubt today that she killed her husband leaving behind a
00:39:32
lifetime of immeasurable pain to members of her own family mom to me carries more meaning
00:39:40
than the word love she's my mother but she'll never be my mom on some level do you still love your
00:39:49
mother I love who I thought that she was whenever I was younger I love that that
00:39:57
fantasy it's taken a lot to take control of my own life because she controlled it
00:40:01
for so long with her tears and her her crying and and the lies that I've I've had to learn how to take over my own
00:40:09
life again Michelle's young daughter Michaela now nine is in the custody of family
00:40:18
friends they take her to visit Michelle in prison occasionally and will do so as
00:40:23
long as Michaela wants to visit she needs to pay for what she did absolutely what's to keep her from doing something
00:40:31
horrible to Michaela she's proven how much family means to her Michelle Williams was sentenced to
00:40:45
60 years in prison she will be eligible for parole in 30 years do you think Michelle Williams
