"World's Most Evil Killers" explores the case of Leslie Allen Williams

He terrorized the northwest region of Metro Detroit -- out in the suburbs -- at the same time that another convicted Michigan serial was hunting on the inner city's historic Woodward Avenue. But while Benjamin ("Tony") Atkins was targeting women at risk on the street, Leslie Allen Williams was hunting a different kind of female ... young schoolgirls with their whole lives ahead of them. Both of these killers were arrested in 1992 after taking too many lives. And now the true-crime TV documentary series "World's Most Evil Killers," having told the story of Atkins, turns to that of Williams.

The fifth episode of the series' 10th big season explores Williams childhood in Michigan and California, as well as his early start in a life of crime, as just a teen in 1970. The doc also highlights the failings of Michigan's parole system at the time, which proved to be a significant element of this case. Why was this habitual offender given light sentences, so that he could escalate from rape and assault to murder?

The production crew from Woodcut Media interviewed me for this episode, as well as a couple cops who worked the case. It has already dropped on Plex and will be on a bunch of other streaming apps such as Tubi, Pluto, Fawesome and Plex, as well as Apple TV, Peacock and Amazon Prime. Filmrise True Crime also posts the episodes on its YouTube channel.

I'm not an expert on the case -- I've studied it, but to learn more about it, there is a book by Mick Strawser called "Born Bent" that's available on Amazon.
