They Almost Got Away With It (Thanks to the Alligators) | The Murder of Mike Williams

In 2000, Florida man Mike Williams seemed to have it all. He was married to his high school sweetheart, Denise, and they had a beautiful daughter together. Mike was successful in his career and enjoyed many hobbies, including hunting.

One early morning in December 2000, Mike allegedly took his boat and went hunting on Lake Seminole. Denise raised the alarm when he did not return by noon. The search for Mike began, and ran for months. One theory was that Mike had been injured in a boating accident, fallen overboard and drowned. It was expected that his remains would eventually surface in the lake. They didn’t.

Just months after he disappeared, Denise petitioned to have Mike declared dead so that she could claim almost $2m in life insurance. A judge agreed, despite the usual waiting period in Florida for someone to be declared dead being five years.

Five years after Mike vanished, Denise married his best friend (and life insurance salesman) Brian Winchester. Their marriage was tumultuous and would eventually end in divorce. After their marriage fell apart, the truth came out. Brian and Denise had been having an affair and they worked together to kill Mike. His remains were found in 2017.
