On Friday, January 14, 1977, the body of Therea Wilson, age 26, was found in the garage of the then-Statler Hilton Hotel at 10 Ford Street in Hartford. The victim, also known as Thera Wilson, Theresa Wilson and Mona Williams, had been stabbed to death. At the time of her death, the victim had been engaged in prostitution.
In 1977 numerous leads were pursued by the Hartford Police Department, all with negative results. In April of 1977, the Governor authorized a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for Ms. Williams death. The reward was increased to $50,000 in November 2006.
In March of 2006, at the request of Hartford Police, the case was re-opened with the assistance of the Cold Case Unit of the Office of the Chief State's Attorney.
