Gloria Davy lay nude and face down on a downstairs divan, strangled and mutilated. Sue Farris was stabbed nine times and strangled, her wrist-bound body left in a second-floor bathroom. Mary Ann Jordan's corpse was in a front bedroom, stabbed five times, including one thrust in the left eye and one in the heart. Next to her were Pat Matusek, strangled with wrists bound; and Pam Wilkening, also bound by the wrists, who had been stabbed in the heart.

It seems to have come less from Williams' pen than from his penwiper...
