Donna Williams was 25 when she was killed during a summer 1984 crime spree that spanned the Midwest. In June in Gary, Indiana, she was befriended by a couple using the names Phil and Pam, later identified as Alton Coleman and Debra Brown. The couple assaulted Williams, raped her, strangled her, and stole her car.

Her vehicle was found abandoned in Detroit about a week after she was last seen; investigators recovered Coleman’s fingerprints and a fraudulent photo ID issued to Brown in the car. In July, Williams’ remains were located in a derelict building near where the car had been recovered, and examination showed ligature marks on her neck consistent with strangulation.

Coleman and Brown were arrested on July 20, 1984, in Evansville, Indiana, and later tried and convicted in multiple jurisdictions for murders and other violent crimes. Does anyone have additional details about Williams’ life in Gary or information that could help complete her timeline in June 1984?
