In the early morning hours of Sunday, March 15, 1998, Jeffery Lynn Williams, 51, was found dead on the kitchen floor of his trailer on North Washington Street in Kokomo, Indiana. His son discovered him lying in a pool of blood; an autopsy confirmed a fatal gunshot wound. A roommate who was also shot survived but could not provide investigators with leads about who attacked them or what happened.

The Howard County Sheriff’s Department investigated, but evidence was sparse. Months later a revolver with two spent shells was recovered in a small pool of water and mud near a moved shed; the shells are believed to match the shots that killed Williams and wounded the roommate. Corrosion on the gun prevented lifting fingerprints. Williams was a Vietnam-era U.S. Army veteran, a 1965 Kokomo High School graduate, and had worked 29 years as a custodian at Delphi Delco Electronics. His murder remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Jeffery Williams, lived in that neighborhood at the time, or has information about the weapon or the night of March 15, 1998, please come forward.
