Personal Narrative: The Body In The Green River
July 8, 1982, I murdered my first victim. Her name was Wendy Lee Coffield. She was only 16, just a runaway, probably dropped out of school. I strangled it with it’s own clothes. I dumped the body in the Green River. Like my favored outdoor sexual spots, these were some of the locations I also dumped these objects, what I like to refer to these outcast women as. Also in the Green River was the body of Debra Lynn Bonner, 23, Marcia Faye Chapman, 31, Cynthia Jean Hinds, 17, Opal Charmaine Mills, 16, Tracy Winston, 19. Another spot I knew and enjoyed was Star Lake in south King County. Here is where some bodies were found also. These women were Gail Matthews, 23, Delores Lavern Williams, 17, Terry Renee Milligan, 16, Sandra K. Gabbert, 17, Alma

    In the early 1980’s in a small Podunk town of Ada, Oklahoma, a young woman named Debra Sue Carter, was savagely raped and killed in her own apartment after work at the local cocktail bar. Quickly, the town drunk was arrested in relation to the rape and murder with nothing more than a single “eyewitness” that placed him at the woman’s job that night. Many regulars to the bar said that “they would know if Ron Williamson was at the Coach Light and he wasn’t there.” They, in fact, named another man: Glenn Gore, the prosecution's main witness. Gore was also the man that Debbie’s friend said that she was afraid of and he was supposedly at Debbie’s apartment the night of the murder, according to the friend who received a phone call that night from Debbie. Gore was also seen being pushed away by the victim at the victim’s car the same night as the murder.…

    My first victim was a woman—white, well dressed, probably in her early twenties. I came upon her late one evening on a deserted street in Hyde Park, a relatively affluent neighborhood in an otherwise mean, impoverished section of Chicago. As I swung onto the avenue behind her, there seemed to be a discreet, uninflammatory distance between us. Not so. She cast back a worried glance. To her, the youngish black man—a broad six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, both hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky military jacket—seemed menacingly close. After a few more quick glimpses, she picked up her pace and was soon running in earnest. Within seconds she disappeared into a cross street.…

    River Street, where I once lived, and I remember the last time I looked back to see what the flood of Augusta, Kentucky did to my beloved neighborhood. The Flood of Augusta, Kentucky came roaring down in my neighborhood, River Street. The flood destroyed everything in its path and the next stop on its journey of destruction was my hometown, River Street. I still remember the sadness of leaving before the flood, but what I didn’t know was the heartache to come when I returned to River Street. Gazing down the street, all I could see was a desolate wasteland. Furthermore gigantic oak trees crashed, though houses, shops, and the playground, where the children used to play. In addition to the carnage done to the whole block I then surveyed the…
