I Would Like to Fight my Extradition | Chapter 11

In 1984, Henderson was a sleepy bedroom community of fewer than 30,000 people 15 miles from the Las Vegas strip. It was seldom in the news. That changed the night a suspect in a middle-of-the-night rock attack fled from sheriff’s deputies during a bathroom break at a Henderson filling station.

The Fear All These Years | Chapter 10: Swift Justice

It was the early morning of Jan. 27, 1984. A 25-pound rock slammed into Roy Williams, jolting him awake, cracking a rib and tearing open a gash in his head that would require 85 stitches. Just as fast, the shadowy figure that attacked him bolted, disappearing into the desert outside Kingman, Arizona. Only decades later would he learn that the man accused of attacking him had allegedly killed four people earlier that month in Colorado.
