0:00
Speaker 1: All right, so get ready, because today we are diving
0:03
deep into a story that I'll have you on the
0:05
edge of your seat, I agree, the disappearance of Mike Williams.
0:10
Speaker 2: A Florida man who vanished in two thousand, vanished well
0:14
out duck hunting.
0:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, and at first everyone thought it was just a
0:18
tragic accident, just one of those things.
0:20
Speaker 1: But as we dig into the details from the articles
0:23
we've got presumably true crime, you'll see why this case
0:26
is anything but simple.
0:27
Speaker 2: It's wild.
0:28
Speaker 3: It really is wild.
0:29
Speaker 2: I mean, what's fascinating to me is how everyone just
0:31
accepted that initial idea of an accident, you know, and
0:35
then over almost two decades, like slowly, bit by bit,
0:41
it unraveled revealed this much darker and much more sinister truth.
0:46
Speaker 1: So to even begin to grasp how deep this mystery goes,
0:49
we really need to understand Mike. Yeah, absolutely, because he
0:52
wasn't just some random guy who went missing, right, He.
0:54
Speaker 2: Was a son, husband, living what seemed like the American dream,
0:57
the American dream, and he had worked so hard for it.
1:00
Oh yeah, you know. He went from growing up in
1:02
a double wide trailer in Bradfordville, Wow, to becoming a
1:06
successful property appraiser, all while putting himself through Florida State University.
1:12
Speaker 1: So he had ambition, tons of So it sounds like
1:15
that drive to succeed it really came from his upbringing. Yeah,
1:18
you know, wanting to escape that trailer park life and
1:21
build something better.
1:22
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, And you know what he did it?
1:25
Speaker 2: He absolutely did.
1:26
Speaker 3: I mean think about it. He was voted best personality
1:29
in high.
1:30
Speaker 2: School, which tells you something, right, Yeah.
1:32
Speaker 1: And he landed a great job before he even graduated college.
1:35
The guy was driven, Yeah, dedicated, Oh for sure.
1:39
Speaker 2: He was known to work crazy hours.
1:42
Speaker 3: How many hours are we talking?
1:44
Speaker 2: Like fifteen hour days sometimes fifteen hours to provide for
1:47
his family.
1:47
Speaker 3: Wow, talk about commitment, right. And then in nineteen ninety four,
1:52
he marries his high school sweetheart Denise.
1:54
Speaker 2: They seemed happy, you know.
1:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, And a few years later, in nineteen ninety nine,
1:59
they have their daughter, ant.
2:01
Speaker 2: Sleye, a beautiful little girl.
2:02
Speaker 3: And they build this really comfortable life for themselves in Tallahassee.
2:06
Speaker 1: A nice house, Yeah, a nice house, successful careers, a
2:09
loving family.
2:10
Speaker 2: Seemed like they had it all.
2:12
Speaker 3: Seriously, you can't help but wonder what could possibly shatter
2:16
this picture perfect life?
2:18
Speaker 2: Well that's where things take a dark turn. Oh yeah,
2:22
So December sixteenth, two thousand, a Saturday, okay, seems like
2:26
just an ordinary day, right, Yeah. Mike tells Denise he's
2:28
going duck hunting on Lake Seminole.
2:30
Speaker 3: Okay, I know.
2:31
Speaker 1: Lake Seminol, huge reservoir, right, popular spot for duck hunting.
2:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, although it's also known for being a little.
2:36
Speaker 3: Treacherous treacherous house.
2:38
Speaker 2: Well, there's this area called stump Field. Stump Field, it's
2:41
full of submerged tree stumps.
2:43
Speaker 3: Oh, that sounds dangerous. Very So Mike heads out to
2:48
Lake Seminol and then.
2:49
Speaker 2: What he never comes back.
2:50
Speaker 3: He just vanishes.
2:52
Speaker 1: Gone, okay, So what happens next? Someone must have noticed
2:56
he was missing.
2:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, so by noon that day, and he starts making
3:00
calls worried. Yeah, because Mike should have been back by then.
3:03
Soon enough, the authorities are involved exactly, Well, the sheriff department,
3:07
of course, but also Mike's best friend, Brian Winchester.
3:12
Speaker 3: Now, hold on a second, Brian Winchester.
3:14
Speaker 1: Yes, wasn't he the one who sold Mike that big
3:17
life insurance policy?
3:18
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, But we'll come back.
3:19
Speaker 3: To that la okay, Okay, So back to the search.
3:21
Speaker 2: Right, So Brian and his father they joined the search. Ye,
3:24
and they find Mike's truck abandoned near a boat launch.
3:28
Speaker 3: Was that unusual?
3:30
Speaker 2: Well a little? Yeah? How so apparently there were better
3:33
paved launches.
3:34
Speaker 3: Nearby, so why park there?
3:36
Speaker 2: Exactly? It was a bit odd.
3:38
Speaker 3: And what about the boat? Did they find that?
3:40
Speaker 2: They did? Where the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Okay,
3:45
the f FWCC.
3:47
Speaker 3: Okay, the f FWC.
3:48
Speaker 2: They located Mike's boat drifting on the lake.
3:51
Speaker 3: Drifting.
3:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, But here's the thing. It was miles away from
3:56
where his truck was found.
3:57
Speaker 1: Miles Okay, that's already starting to sound. So they find
4:01
the boat, Was there any sign of Mike?
4:04
Speaker 3: What about his stuff?
4:05
Speaker 2: His shotgun was still in its case, engine was off
4:08
beyet this The gas tank.
4:10
Speaker 3: Was full full full? Wouldn't that mean?
4:13
Speaker 2: Well, according to the boat manufacturer, if the engine had
4:16
been running when Mike supposedly fell out, the boat should
4:20
have kept going in circles until it ran out of gas. Right,
4:24
And to make things even more confusing, the wind that
4:27
day should have pushed the boat in the opposite direction
4:30
from where it was found.
4:31
Speaker 3: Okay, So right, off the bat. Things aren't adding up. Nope,
4:34
not at all. But what was the explanation at the time, Like,
4:37
what did everyone think happened?
4:39
Speaker 2: The prevailing theory was that Mike had just fallen overboard, okay,
4:44
and drowned, maybe because of strong currents or his waiters
4:48
filling up with water.
4:49
Speaker 3: But wouldn't he have tried to swim?
4:50
Speaker 2: They thought maybe he hit his head or something.
4:52
Speaker 3: And there was also talk about alligators, right.
4:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, some people even considered the possibility of an alligator attack.
4:58
Speaker 3: But wait, alligators and in December.
5:01
Speaker 2: That's what some experts question.
5:03
Speaker 3: I mean, wouldn't the water be too cold? I thought
5:05
alligators didn't really like cold water.
5:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're generally inactive in cold water. And the temperature
5:12
in Lake Seminole had dropped quite a bit after Mike.
5:14
Speaker 3: Vanished, so that seems unlikely.
5:16
Speaker 2: It does. So they searched, right, oh yeah, a massive search.
5:20
Speaker 3: What did they do?
5:20
Speaker 2: Divers, cadaver dogs, sonar, you name it.
5:24
Speaker 3: Nothing, nothing at all.
5:26
Speaker 2: It was like Lake Seminole had swallowed Mike coal.
5:28
Speaker 3: And amidst all this, there was one person who refused
5:32
to believe the drowning theory.
5:34
Speaker 2: Ah, you're talking about Cheryl Mike's mother. A mother's intuition
5:39
is a powerful thing, it really is. Cheryl was convinced
5:42
her son wasn't in that lake. Just had a feeling, Yeah,
5:45
she felt deep down that something was terribly wrong.
5:48
Speaker 3: Did she try to get answers from Denise?
5:50
Speaker 2: She did, but Denise wasn't helpful at all, really not
5:53
at all. In fact, she even threatened to cut Cheryl
5:56
off from her granddaughter. What if she kept pushing for answers?
5:59
Speaker 1: Now, can you imagine that you the listener, your son disappears,
6:03
and your daughter in law shuts down any attempt to
6:07
find the truth?
6:08
Speaker 2: Heartbreaking?
6:08
Speaker 3: How frustrating? Would that be?
6:10
Speaker 2: Incredibly frustrating?
6:11
Speaker 3: But Cheryl, she didn't give up, no, not one bit.
6:15
Speaker 2: She documented everything, every single detail of the case.
6:19
Speaker 3: Amazing.
6:19
Speaker 2: She refused to let go of the belief that something
6:22
more had happened to her son.
6:23
Speaker 1: So what didn't sit right with her and some of
6:26
the law enforcement officials.
6:27
Speaker 2: Well, apart from the inconsistencies we talked about.
6:30
Speaker 3: Right, like the truck being parked in that weird spot.
6:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the boat's engine being off with a full
6:35
tank of gas, It just didn't make sense for an
6:37
accident'll fall overboard.
6:39
Speaker 3: So if it wasn't an accident, what else could it be.
6:41
Speaker 2: That's what investigators started looking into, and they found something
6:45
very interesting. Oh remember that life insurance policy Brian Winchester
6:49
sold to Mike. Yeah, yeah, Well it totaled nearly two
6:52
million dollars.
6:54
Speaker 3: Two million dollars, two million dollars. Oh, that's a motive
6:57
if I've ever heard one.
6:58
Speaker 2: It certainly raises eyebrows.
7:00
Speaker 3: And didn't you say Brian and Denise ended up getting married?
7:03
Speaker 2: They did just a few years after Mike's disappearance.
7:06
Speaker 3: So we've got a love triangle, a massive life insurance payout,
7:10
and a disappearance that's looking more and more staged by
7:13
the minute.
7:14
Speaker 2: It's starting to look that way, isn't it.
7:16
Speaker 3: It is? But did the authorities start to suspect foul
7:19
play at this point?
7:20
Speaker 2: They did, and in the next part of our deep
7:22
dive will explore the renewed investigations, the shocking revelations that
7:26
came to light, and ultimately the truth behind Mike Williams's disappearance.
7:31
Speaker 1: So we left off with a ton of questions surrounding
7:33
Mike's disappearance and a growing suspicion that foul play was involved.
7:37
Speaker 2: Definitely a lot of red flags.
7:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, the inconsistent evidence, the life insurance policy, Denise and
7:42
Brian's relationship.
7:43
Speaker 2: And remember Cheryl Mike's mother.
7:46
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she was convinced something wasn't right.
7:48
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
7:49
Speaker 3: She never wavered, even when Denise tried to shut.
7:52
Speaker 2: Her down, trying to keep her quiet.
7:53
Speaker 1: And threatening to limit her access to her granddaughter if
7:56
she didn't back down. Can you imagine, really, I mean,
7:59
losing your son and then being shut.
8:01
Speaker 3: Out by your daughter in law.
8:02
Speaker 2: It's awful.
8:03
Speaker 3: The pain and frustration Cheryl must felt.
8:05
Speaker 2: It must have been unbearable, but.
8:07
Speaker 3: It's inspiring to see how she channeled that grief into
8:11
a fight for the truth.
8:12
Speaker 2: She refused to give up, and thankfully she didn't. Her
8:15
persistence really paid off.
8:16
Speaker 3: It did because in two thousand and four, after years
8:19
of Cheryl pushing years, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement
8:23
the FDLEE, agreed to reopen the case.
8:26
Speaker 2: They stepped in the FDALY that's.
8:28
Speaker 1: The state's top investigative agency, right it is, so what
8:31
convinced them to take on a case that was initially
8:34
considered just a simple drowning.
8:36
Speaker 2: Well, Cheryl's relentless efforts for one, right, but also the
8:41
sheer number of red flags in the initial investigation.
8:44
Speaker 3: They just couldn't ignore them anymore.
8:45
Speaker 2: They couldn't.
8:46
Speaker 1: So the FDLA starts digging. What do they find anything
8:49
that supports Cheryl's suspicions.
8:51
Speaker 2: Well, they re examined some of the evidence from two
8:54
thousand and one.
8:54
Speaker 3: Like Mike's belongings that were found in the.
8:56
Speaker 2: Lake exactly, the waiter's jacket and flashlight.
9:00
Speaker 3: Items that were used to declare him legally dead.
9:02
Speaker 2: Right right, which, by the way, Denise pushed for very quickly.
9:05
Speaker 3: Hmmm, suspicious. But didn't you say something was off about
9:08
those belongings?
9:09
Speaker 2: I did a couple of things, actually, what Well, first
9:12
of all, the location they were found in was different
9:15
from the area they initially searched.
9:16
Speaker 3: So they weren't where they should have been.
9:18
Speaker 2: Nope. What else, they didn't really look like they'd been
9:21
submerged for that long You're kidding, I'm not. Almost like
9:24
they were planted there recently. Wow. And the final nail
9:27
in the coffin. No DNA evidence on any of the
9:30
items linking them back to Mike, So.
9:32
Speaker 3: It was almost like someone tried to stage a drowning.
9:35
But they messed up.
9:36
Speaker 2: They sloppy job.
9:38
Speaker 1: Like an amateur trying to cover their tracks exactly. So
9:41
what did the investigators make of all this?
9:43
Speaker 2: Well, they started digging deeper into Denise and Bryant's relationship.
9:47
Would they find they uncovered evidence that their affair actually
9:51
began years before Mike went missing?
9:54
Speaker 3: Oh wow, so it wasn't just a fling after the fact.
9:56
Speaker 2: Nope, it was a full blown affair going on for
9:59
years before Mike disappeared.
10:00
Speaker 1: Well, that definitely throws a wrench into the whole grieving
10:03
widow narrative, doesn't it.
10:05
Speaker 3: Now we've got a.
10:06
Speaker 2: Motive beyond just the life insurance.
10:09
Speaker 3: Jealousy, maybe even hatred, who knows, but motive aside. Was
10:13
there any hard evidence linking Denise and Brian to Mike's disappearance?
10:18
Not at that point, but the timeline was definitely.
10:21
Speaker 2: Suspicious to say the least.
10:23
Speaker 3: In all this time, Cheryl's still out there right, Oh yeah,
10:25
Cheryl never stopped.
10:26
Speaker 2: Investigating on her own yep, gathering evidence, keeping the pressure
10:30
on what a woman truly remarkable.
10:32
Speaker 3: Just when you think the story can't get any wilder,
10:35
there's another twist.
10:36
Speaker 2: Buckle up. What happened Denise and Brian? Their marriage, the
10:41
one built on let's say, questionable circumstances, Yeah, it started
10:46
to fall apart.
10:47
Speaker 3: No, it was a prize there.
10:47
Speaker 2: In twenty twelve they separated and by twenty fifteen Denise
10:51
filed for divorce.
10:52
Speaker 3: And Brian, how do you take it?
10:55
Speaker 2: Not? Well?
10:56
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
10:56
Speaker 2: Well? In August twenty sixteen, Denise was driving to work
11:00
and suddenly Brian appears in her car, climbs into the
11:03
back seat. He just appears, yeah, and forces her at
11:06
gunpoint to drive to a secluded area. He was distraught
11:10
over the divorce, threatening to kill himself. It is a
11:14
tense situation.
11:14
Speaker 3: What did Denise do?
11:16
Speaker 2: She managed to talk him down, thank goodness, convinced him
11:19
to surrender to the police.
11:20
Speaker 3: So he was arrested.
11:22
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, charged with kidnapping, domestic assault, arm burglary.
11:26
Speaker 3: Wow, it seems like things really spiraled out of control.
11:29
Speaker 2: They did.
11:30
Speaker 3: But here's where the case takes a major turn.
11:32
Speaker 2: Tell me more.
11:34
Speaker 3: During his interrogation, Brian drops a bombshell.
11:39
Speaker 2: A bombshell, a confession. He confessed to being involved in
11:42
Mike's disappearance. He did, after all these years, he.
11:45
Speaker 1: Starts talking about Denise's unhappiness in her marriage to Mike.
11:49
Oh wow, how they had been plotting to kill him
11:51
for years. They had a plan, apparently, so even considered
11:55
elaborate schemes like staging a boating accident or a robbery
11:59
gone wrong.
12:00
Speaker 2: It's like the initial suspicion exactly.
12:02
Speaker 1: So it wasn't just coincidence. It was a deliberate attempt
12:04
to cover up a crime.
12:05
Speaker 2: It was all part of the plant.
12:07
Speaker 3: But how did they actually pull it off? What happened
12:09
to Mike that day on the lake?
12:11
Speaker 2: Brian laid it all out, tell me everything. He lured
12:14
Mike out to Lake Seminole under the guise of duck hunting.
12:18
That's awful. Then he pushed Mike overboard, hoping he would drown.
12:21
Speaker 3: But Mike was a strong swimmer, wasn't he?
12:23
Speaker 2: He was, and he managed to cling to a tree stump.
12:26
Speaker 1: Ah, so that's why the initial search didn't find a body.
12:30
Speaker 2: Exactly what happened next? Brian panicked, he saw Mike holding
12:34
on Oh no, and in a moment of desperation, he
12:37
shot Mike, killing him instantly.
12:39
Speaker 3: This is chilling.
12:40
Speaker 2: It's a cold blooded murder.
12:42
Speaker 3: And then what what did he do with the body?
12:44
Speaker 2: He buried it in a secluded area he knew.
12:46
Speaker 3: Which explains why those extensive searches.
12:48
Speaker 2: Turned up nothing precisely.
12:50
Speaker 3: A calculated plan, a brutal murder, a web of lies
12:54
spun for nearly two decades.
12:56
Speaker 2: It's almost unbelievable, it is, and.
12:58
Speaker 3: It makes you think, what a Denise was she in
13:01
on this plan the whole time?
13:02
Speaker 2: That was the question everyone was asking.
13:04
Speaker 3: So what happened?
13:05
Speaker 2: Well, based on Brian's confession and other evidence, Okay, the
13:09
authorities finally arrested Denise in May twenty eighteen, after.
13:12
Speaker 3: All these years, justice was finally.
13:14
Speaker 2: Catching up, it seemed that way.
13:16
Speaker 3: What was Denise's reaction? Did she admit to anything?
13:19
Speaker 2: Nope, she maintained her innocence throughout the entire.
13:21
Speaker 1: Trial, even with Brian's confession, even then, So what happened next?
13:25
Speaker 3: A trial?
13:26
Speaker 2: I assume you got it, A full blown media frenzy,
13:29
a real courtroom drama.
13:32
Speaker 3: What was the prosecution's case?
13:34
Speaker 2: They painted a picture of greed, manipulation, and a cold
13:37
hearted plot orchestrated by Denise yikes, but her defense team
13:42
they argued that Brian's confession was unreliable.
13:46
Speaker 3: A desperate attempt to save.
13:47
Speaker 2: Himself exactly, trying to frame Denise to get a lighter sentence.
13:51
Speaker 3: So a classic he said, she said, situation.
13:55
Speaker 2: With incredibly high stakes.
13:57
Speaker 3: What did the jury decide?
13:59
Speaker 2: They found Denise guilty on all counts, murder, conspiracy, and
14:02
accessory after the fact. Wow. In February twenty nineteen, she
14:06
was sentenced to life in prison.
14:08
Speaker 3: Finally justice for Mike and Cheryl.
14:10
Speaker 2: It seemed like the end of a long and painful journey.
14:13
Speaker 3: But that's not the end of the story, is it.
14:15
Speaker 2: Nope, there's one more twist, another one. This case is unbelievable,
14:18
I know, right, So Denise, she appealed her conviction and
14:22
in November twenty twenty, the appeals court overturned her murder conviction,
14:27
but they upheld the conspiracy charge.
14:30
Speaker 1: So she's no longer convicted of murder, but is still
14:32
in prison for conspiracy.
14:34
Speaker 2: Yeah. Essentially, the court said there wasn't enough evidence to
14:36
prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Denise directly participated in
14:40
the killing.
14:41
Speaker 3: Okay, but there.
14:41
Speaker 2: Was enough to show she conspired with Brian.
14:44
Speaker 3: Wow.
14:44
Speaker 1: So she may not have pulled the trigger, but she
14:47
was still involved in the planning and execution.
14:49
Speaker 2: Which is still a serious crime.
14:51
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But after all these years, the trials, the appeals,
14:56
did Mike and Denise's daughter Ansley get any kind of closure.
15:00
Speaker 2: She did. She was granted her late father's estate, so
15:03
at least there's that, and to avoid any further legal battles,
15:06
Denise actually signed over the assets to her daughter.
15:10
Speaker 3: That's something.
15:11
Speaker 1: At least after everything Ansley's been through, she deserves some
15:14
sense of peace. Absolutely, So this case it really highlights
15:18
the complexity of the legal system.
15:20
Speaker 3: It does, even with overwhelming evidence.
15:22
Speaker 2: Sometimes justice takes a long time.
15:24
Speaker 3: It does, sometimes years or even decades.
15:26
Speaker 2: And sometimes it's not perfect.
15:29
Speaker 1: But in this case, at least some measure of justice
15:31
was served right.
15:32
Speaker 2: And the truth, no matter how twisted and dark, finally
15:36
came to light.
15:37
Speaker 3: Man, this whole case has been a wild ride.
15:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable.
15:41
Speaker 3: From thinking it was a simple drowning to uncovering this
15:44
elaborate conspiracy to kill Mike.
15:46
Speaker 2: It really makes you wonder what goes on behind closed doors.
15:49
Speaker 3: It does.
15:49
Speaker 1: And you know, we can't forget about Cheryl, Mike's mother. Yeah,
15:53
she was the driving force behind all of this.
15:55
Speaker 2: Absolutely, her determination to find the truth was incredible.
15:59
Speaker 3: What do you think it was about her that made
16:02
her so effective?
16:03
Speaker 2: It's that mother's intuition. Yeah, she knew in her heart
16:06
that her son didn't just drown.
16:08
Speaker 3: She refused to believe the easy answer.
16:10
Speaker 2: She wouldn't let it go.
16:11
Speaker 1: And she turned her grief into action, documenting everything, pushing
16:15
the authorities.
16:16
Speaker 2: She was relentless.
16:17
Speaker 1: It really makes you think, what if Cheryl hadn't been
16:20
so persistent, would this case have ever been solved?
16:23
Speaker 2: That's a good question.
16:24
Speaker 1: Would we have ever found out what really happened to Mike.
16:27
It's hard to say for sure, but her role was crucial,
16:30
that's for sure. It was she kept the pressure on,
16:33
kept the case in the public.
16:34
Speaker 2: Eye, and ultimately her efforts helped bring those responsible to justice.
16:39
Speaker 3: For our listener, think about that, the power of one
16:43
person's belief, even when it seems like everyone else has
16:46
given up.
16:47
Speaker 2: It's a powerful thing.
16:48
Speaker 3: It's a testament to the human.
16:49
Speaker 2: Spirit, it is. But you know, even though justice was
16:53
served in the end, there's still a deep sense of sadness.
16:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mike's life was cut short.
16:59
Speaker 2: His daughter grew up without a father, and.
17:01
Speaker 3: His family went through years of pain. And uncertainty.
17:04
Speaker 1: It's a real tragedy, and the fact that the people
17:06
who did this were supposed to be his close.
17:08
Speaker 2: Friends it makes it that much worse.
17:10
Speaker 3: The betrayal, the cold hearted planning. It's chilling.
17:14
Speaker 2: It forces you to think about the darker side of
17:16
human nature, it.
17:17
Speaker 1: Does, and it makes you wonder how someone could be
17:19
so manipulative and deceitful. It's hard to comprehend, so looking
17:25
back on everything we've learned, it's been a journey from
17:28
the initial shock of Mike's disappearance to the uncovering of
17:32
the truth, the trials, the convictions.
17:36
Speaker 2: A long and winding road.
17:37
Speaker 3: This case is definitely one that'll stick with me.
17:40
Speaker 2: I think it will for all of us.
17:41
Speaker 3: It really makes you think about your own life.
17:43
Speaker 2: It does.
17:44
Speaker 3: Are there red flags we're missing in our own relationships?
17:47
Speaker 2: Are there people we trust who might not deserve that trust.
17:50
Speaker 3: It's something to consider, for sure, and.
17:53
Speaker 2: It also highlights the importance of speaking up for those
17:55
who can't speak for themselves.
17:57
Speaker 3: Lake Cheryl did for Mike exactly inspiration she is.
18:01
Speaker 1: And it shows us that even when things seem impossible,
18:04
we can make a difference.
18:05
Speaker 2: We can fight for what's right.
18:07
Speaker 3: We can seek justice.
18:08
Speaker 2: And we can never give up hope.
18:11
Speaker 3: Well said.
18:12
Speaker 1: So, as we wrap up this deep dive into the
18:15
Mike Williams case, we want to leave you with one
18:17
final thought. What's up, cherish the people you love? Yeah,
18:21
be aware of your surrounding, be vigilant, and always remember
18:24
truth and justice will prevail.
18:26
Speaker 2: Sometimes it takes a while, but they will we always do.
18:29
Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us on this journey into one
18:32
of the most twisted and shocking cases we've ever covered.
18:35
Speaker 2: We appreciate you being here
18:36
Speaker 3: And until next time, stay curious, stay informed, and never
18:40
stop asking those tough questions.
