Shane Ainsley Williams, 38, was found murdered in Easley, South Carolina, on January 26, 2014. A deacon and Sunday School teacher at Cedar Rock Baptist Church and an employee of Taylors Fire and Sewer, Williams was described as a devoted family man whose death deeply affected the Dacusville community.

Investigators say the killing was not random. The Pickens County Sheriff’s Office reported a conspiracy involving Williams’s wife, Crystal Gail Williams, and her friend Marcus Channing Johnson. The motive was tied to an effort to collect on a $250,000 life insurance policy.

Both alleged conspirators were prosecuted by the 13th Circuit Solicitor’s Office; Crystal Williams was convicted and received a life sentence. Does anyone have information about Shane’s life in the area or the days leading up to January 26, 2014?
