I think the alligators deserve an apology

[@debsreno911]

Personal apology, Denise needs to make it maybe this time the story will be true and they'll eat her whole.

[@littlerichie874]

I don’t know who’s worse, the “wife” or the so-called best friend. Neither one should ever be released from prison.

[@DrewAndrews]

The wife is worse. Wife also killed the father of their child and kept her from his family. She is easily worse. And likely lied about the best friend kidnapping her. She was the mastermind of the entire murder and used his dumb ass.

[@circesoul2218]

The best friend has a guilty conscience and solved the case. Denise would've never talked and let Mike continuing rotting in the ground. I'm glad Brian got a deal.

[@leeprimeau7912]

If he hadn’t been honest and told the whole story, they wouldn’t have recovered Mike’s body nor would Denise have ever been arrested. It was at her insistence that Mike was murdered anyway.

[@tantanmustdie]

@@DrewAndrews No she didn't lie about the abduction, Brian had her at a gun point ready to murder her but she drove to the police station so he didn't kill her. That's the reason she had to get questioned about Mike again

[@tantanmustdie]

@@circesoul2218 He didn't have "guilty conscience", he was offered to have 20 years instead of life in prison if he told the police absolutely everything. He was planning to kill Denise earlier that day when she went to the police station.

[@moeruss2726]

I feel horrible for the daughter. Her Dad adored her and the wife not only killed him but cut her off from the Grandmother & Uncle. She then married the best friend so the poor daughter lived with 2 killers. Now she has no Dad, and Moms in prison . I hope she was able to finally have a relationship with her Grandma & Uncle.

She was entitled and never happy so she had an affair because Mike worked too hard. Not too hard to demand access to his life insurance after murdering him though. Then she wasn't even happy with brian in the end despite what he did for her so she wanted to divorce him. She was also so entitled that she assumed brian wouldn't want to get revenge on her.

Yes, no remorse whatsoever, it's in her, but it's funny it didn't materialize before he married her; this woman is pure evil.

[@isabellind1292]

I cannot believe she actually reported the kidnapping! She must have thought she had everyone wrapped around her little finger. Well, she did if Mike had to drop everything to come home whenever she needed her gas tank topped off. And this killer! He throws his unsuspecting buddy into the drink and then motors away which was bad enough but then returns and I'm sure Mike thought it was all just a terrible prank and he was coming to get him only to have his final images be of seeing his buddy raising a shotgun in his face?! It's the cruelest! And his killer sits there sobbing on the stand about it? Boo hoo sicko! RIP Mike Williams. Good man.❤🌹

[@fernfreeman1729]

People have been murdering their other halves for many may years for life insurance.... Mary Ann Cotton (née Robson; 31 October 1832 - 24 March 1873) was an English serial killer, convicted of, and hanged for, the murder by poisoning of her stepson Charles Edward Cotton. It is likely that she murdered three of her four husbands, apparently in order to collect on their insurance policies, and many others.

Death at his hands, or taking a chance on him not spilling his guts about the murder. Since he only got 20 years for that, and he would probably have actually served much less than that, she most likely believed that the secret was safe. She would be thinking that those 20 years maximum in prison are nothing compared to a murder conviction and sentence, right? I honestly doubt she ever even dreamed that any kind of immunity deal for him could be made to solve the case, especially *that* sweet of a deal.

Imagine how heartless and utterly narcissistic you'd have to be not only to allow your own father to spend so much emotional and physical energy in searching for your husband when you know it's pointless, but also to see the heartbreak, effort, and desperation of your sweet mother in law looking for her child, or at least looking for answers for what happened to him. She not only conspired to kill her husband, she also hurt so many other people involved in searching and eventually mourning for him. She wasted so much time, so much taxpayer dollars, so much effort from the community. She's a terrible person.

Krishi Animations Um you do know those are separate charges right? I think someone on the thread was joking about “if in case she gets away with murder they still have that 30 year in there” That’s ironically true... she still has the ability to appeal, and if she wins she still has to contest the other charges that landed her the 30 year. When the slow wheels of the judicial system revolve, she will be old and possibly possibly be at the end of her life. This isn’t over kill... this is to ensure that the law which is by far an imperfect judicial system can’t be taken advantage of...

When Denise Williams was sentenced all the inheritance she received went to her daughter.
