Jeffrey Williams has been wanted by police for a murder in the West Philadelphia area for nearly 20 years. He was aired on the August 12th, 2006 episode of America's Most Wanted. Below is the archive description of his case:
A Traumatizing Discovery
On April 10, 1996, four little boys made their way to Cobbs Creek in West Philadelphia, Pa. to look for turtles. Instead, they found something traumatizing -- a woman's strangled and bludgeoned body.
The frightened children called police, who were able to ID the woman as a prostitute named Chelsea Oney. For years, the brutal murder went unsolved -- until June 2005, when a witness came forward who had found out more about a man named Jeffrey Williams than they ever wanted to know.
Williams had told the witness, an acquaintance, that he'd murdered a prostitute in Cobbs park. Cops say the witness knew about Williams' past, and told them he'd once been accused of raping a prostitute in Darby, Pa., but that the case had been discharged. The witness told police Williams' wanted to kill the prostitute who'd charged him, but needed to practice first on someone else. That's when cops say Williams decided to kill Chelsea.
A Close Call For Williams
Cops say Williams is definitely their guy -- and they almost had him the day after Thanksgiving 2005. Cops say Williams was spending the holiday with his sister in Cheltenham, Pa. -- just outside the city. Cops say he had come there the night before the holiday to get some money from his sibling, and said he needed to leave town.
Realizing police were looking for Williams, a friend of the accused killer's sister tipped off police, telling them he'd was in town. Police sprang to action, but by the time they arrived at the hideout, he was already gone.
Thoughts? As far as I can tell, Williams is still at large as of this posting date (6/8/2015), I can't find any articles suggesting otherwise, however, as always, if you have proof otherwise, feel free to let us know.
Unfortunately, there is not a lot of information overall besides the AMW archive. Even his middle name is unknown except that the initial is "K." What I do know is while prostitutes live at risk lives, they don't deserve to be raped or murdered and they're still human beings. My fear is that hopefully he hasn't, but guys like Williams could potentially turn into serial killers, as prostitutes are often a target for them.
It's important to get Williams off the streets before he harms any more women, and hopefully he hasn't already.
