Well, at least she's not getting out anytime soon, so that's some hope for whoever misses her once husband and father of her only child, Mike Williams, the object of her scorn once upon a time.

Cheryl is amazing. I am so glad that justice was finally served for her son.

There is a new season of the podcast “Over My Dead Body: Gone Hunting” that covers this case. I’m about halfway through and it’s excellent and there’s a lot of information that’s new to me on it.

Authorities found Mike's abandoned boat and truck at Lake Seminole, and it was initially suspected that he had probably had a fatal accident there.

But Cheryl Williams, Mike's mother, didn’t believe it. She was right not to.

Mike had been the victim of a planned murder between his wife Denise and his best friend Brian Winchester.

They had been having an affair since 1997, and just six months before Mike disappeared, he purchased a $1.75 million life insurance policy from his friend.

The pair seemed to have gotten away with it, until Brian was arrested for pointing a gun at Denise in 2016 as their marriage began to fall apart.


From there, Brian made a deal with prosecutors and agreed to immunity in Mike's death in exchange for revealing what happened that day.

His confession revealed that he pushed Mike from the boat and shot him after he was able to swim to a stump and attempted to hold on.

"He was panicking and I was panicking," Brian testified at the time. "None of this was going like I thought it was gonna go."
