Poisonous love triangle ends with one dead and confessions 18 years later.

Police thought he was eaten by alligators in 2000. Now his high school sweetheart is on trial for his murder.


Eighteen years after Williams’ disappearance, Winchester confessed on the stand Tuesday to fatally shooting Williams in the head during the Dec. 16 boating trip, then leaving Williams’s boat in the water to fool investigators. Winchester, however, is not the one on trial.

Williams’s death, prosecutors say, was the product of a poisonous love triangle involving two sets of high school sweethearts - Denise and Mike Williams, and Brian and Kathy Winchester - that spiraled from infidelity to murder. Prosecutors say Denise collected $1.75 million from her husband’s life insurance policies, one of which was written by Winchester, an insurance agent by trade, just months before Williams’s death. Then, after Brian divorced Kathy, he and Denise married in 2005.

All while, Mike Williams’s disappearance remained unsolved.

The seed was planted. Winchester claims he and Denise began discussing ways to get rid of Williams after Denise made clear she did not want to divorce, allegedly due to personal beliefs and because she didn’t want split custody of their baby daughter. Eventually, Winchester claims, they discussed the “boating accident.” - Palm Beach Post

Then there's the who $1.75 million life insurance policy, beliefs and joint custody or not.
