As the accused killer sits in jail, awaiting trial, the latest development opened old wounds for a woman who said she was attacked by William Reece 25 years ago.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Accused serial killer William Reece is back in Texas and is facing charges in three brutal murders in Galveston and Brazoria counties.
Now, he's in a private jail cell in Friendswood, facing charges in the murders of Kelli Cox, Laura Smither, and Jessica Cain. All three disappeared 25 years ago. "It's very important that it be official in the records that he was guilty here in Texas. Not only for Kelli, for Jessica and Laura," said Jan Bynum, the mother of Kelli Cox."The official accountability. I don't want William Reece out so he can do the same thing to anyone else."Bynum said her family still doesn't have access to her daughter's remains, and they won't until the case is closed and somebody is held accountable in her killing.
