On February 8, 1975, 24-year-old Betty Williams was murdered in Fort Worth, Texas. Once inside, he attacked her, turning her upside down to disorient her, then raped and stabbed her multiple times. He left the apartment while Williams was still alive, returned later, told her to stop trying to stem her bleeding, and she subsequently died of her injuries.

The same incident involved 21-year-old Vera Hill, who entered the apartment during the assault and was stabbed in the chest, stomach, and back until she collapsed. After these attacks, Granviel reportedly continued a violent spree that included rape, hostage-taking, and the kidnapping and rape of a teenage daughter at a friend’s home; those crimes led to his arrest and later confession to multiple murders and a conviction with a death sentence.

Are there readers who knew Betty Williams or have information about her life in Fort Worth before February 1975?
