William Reece found guilty in 1997 murder of Tiffany Johnston
"Admitted serial killer William Lewis Reece agreed he has a dark side.
"Well, yeah, ain't no doubt about it. I ain't going to lie to you," he told a police detective after confessing to three killings in Texas and one in Oklahoma in 1997.
He would say in a series of 2016 interviews that he wanted to give his victims' families the truth so they could have closure.
Investigators say he never did.
What he would leave out, prosecutors told a jury last week, was his motive.
He had targeted his victims to satisfy his sexual urges, prosecutors argued. And he killed them so they could never testify against him and send him back to prison.
Jurors took only an hour Friday to find him guilty of murdering a 19-year-old newlywed, Tiffany Johnston, at a car wash in Bethany."
"
The last victim, Jessica Cain, disappeared after leaving a Bennigan's Restaurant in Clear Lake, Texas, on Aug. 17, 1997. Her vehicle was found abandoned along the interstate. She was 17."
