FL FL - Terrance Williams, 27, & Felipe Santos, 23, Collier Co, 2003 & 2004

I truly believe these two young men were not his only victims. I know there's another POI (a convicted serial killer) who is a main suspect behind these 8 bodies discovered in 2008- but that's never been proven. I think these men could have been linked to Williams & Santo's killer as well. The time fits- the victims were believed to have been killed some time between 1995 and 2000 http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/01/10/mystery.bones/index.html?iref=nextin

"Nearly 15 years after two Collier County men disappeared within months of each other, a renowned civil rights attorney has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the deputy who last saw the men alive.

Felipe Santos and Terrance Williams went missing in October 2003 and January 2004, respectively. They were last seen in the custody of Collier County Sheriff's Office Cpl. Steven Calkins. The deputy was fired during an internal investigation after he became uncooperative and gave conflicting statements. He is considered a person of interest in the men’s disappearances.

Ben Crump, the attorney representing Williams’ estate and family, announced the lawsuit in a news conference Tuesday at the Naples Daily News community room, flanked by actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry and Williams' mother, Marcia. "

Perry said he is doubling the reward in the missing men's cases to $200,000.

Crump said he hopes evidence presented in the civil lawsuit, filed Aug. 30 in Collier Circuit Court, can lead to a criminal case against the former deputy. Crump said he would also represent the Santos family if they wanted to participate in the lawsuit.

Tyler Perry offers reward in case of missing men

Filmmaker Tyler Perry and a prominent attorney have announced a lawsuit against a former Florida sheriff's deputy connected to the disappearance of two minority men almost 15 years ago.

In 2004, a former Collier County Deputy, Steven Calkins, said that Terrance Williams was having a bit of car trouble when he gave him a ride from a North Naples cemetery to a convenience store. Williams was never seen or heard from since.

Anyone know where I can start with this case? Most of the things I am finding are archived? I will re read through this thread to see.

Good little synopsis

SO glad to hear there is some kind of movement on these cases, finally! I hope this lawsuit results in this disgustingly smug killer cop, and the people who protected him, finally being brought to justice. The families of Santos and Williams deserve it. It's been way too long.

the disppeared episode is very good and is what first spiked my interest in the case and Tyler Perry’s too.

The podcast Crime Junkie has a really in depth episode on the subject, number 41 " WANTED: Answers from a Deputy"

I can’t wait to see the ex deputy’s response to the lawsuit! Finally, I believe justice is on its way for the families of these two young men.

Really hoping for justice, this case really bothers me.

ETA: I have some informative links regarding this case; I'm just not sure of all the rules of posting them. Should I message a moderator?

Remember, though, a civil lawsuit just gives money damages which are likely to never be paid given the pace of these cases and the respondent's age.

This man seems happy, not angry or evil. Even with his criminal record, he doesn't seem like a person who would willingly disappear or not speak to his family.
