MI Theodore Glenn Williams, serial rapist/murderer of children

[Richard]

Theodore Glenn Williams was convicted of raping and murdering two little girls in Michigan in 1966 and 1967.

In an appeal trial, he was judged to be insane and incarcerated in a mental institution with parole possible when he might be determined to be no longer crazy and a threat to society.

All appeals of his convictions have failed, and all annual parole requests to date have been turned down. He is now 85 years old.

How many other victims were there? What other states or areas was he known to have visited?

Here is another Websleuths thread which discusses Williams:

Thread 'MI - Laura Sutliffe, 13, & Sonya Santa Cruz, 7, slain, Kent County, 1966 & 1967'

Oct 24, 2005

He has spent most of his life in psychiatric hospitals after strangling two girls in the 1960s.

Now former Wyoming resident Theodore Glenn Williams is seeking his release.

He told authorities that he abducted, raped and killed a 13-year-old Sparta girl in 1966 and a seven-year-old Grand Rapids girl a year later.

Williams pleaded guilty to the younger girl's murder but never went to trial for the other killing.
