Two sisters, 16-year-old Michelle Urbin and her 14-year-old sister Melissa, were abducted while walking near their home in Tyrone Township, Michigan, on September 29, 1991. A 39-year-old parolee, Leslie Allen Williams, approached them with a pocket knife, bound their hands with plastic ties, forced them into a field, and raped them while taking photographs. After attempting to render them unconscious with engine starting fluid containing ether, Williams smothered the sisters one at a time, then transported their bodies to a remote area near Fenton, Michigan, where he buried them in shallow graves and committed necrophilic acts before burial.

Their fate remained unknown for months until Williams was arrested in May 1992 for an attempted abduction and rape in a cemetery. He confessed to the murders of the Urbin sisters and led investigators to the burial sites. Williams also confessed to killing two other teenage girls, identified as 18-year-old Kami Villanueva and 15-year-old Cynthia Marie Jones, whose abductions and murders occurred between September 1991 and January 1992. Williams was later convicted on multiple counts including first-degree murder, kidnapping, and criminal sexual conduct and received life without parole.

Does anyone have memories of Michelle or Melissa, or information about the area near Tyrone Township or Fenton from that time that could add to the record?
