TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- A Florida man reported missing 17 years ago apparently didn't suffer a duck-hunting mishap and he wasn't eaten by alligators.

An indictment made public Wednesday accuses Mike Williams' widow of plotting his death for months before his best friend shot him.

OK, here’s the thing: You’re a guy, and you conspire with your best friend’s wife to kill him, get the insurance money, then you marry the widow.

How are you ever going to sleep at night knowing that she’ll have her next boyfriend off you if she grows tired of you?

As an avid consumer of Dateline and 48 Hours crime documentaries, it amazes me how many intra-family murders are made over insurance money and inheritances, including those committed by children against parents.

If I were her, I would make the argument that Winchester wanted her, and she got along with him well (he was her husband’s best friend, after all) and after her husband’s death, she and Winchester grew close, resulting in their marriage. I’d say she knew nothing about Winchester wanting her bad enough to pull a King David on her husband.

They are going to have to find evidence that she conspired with him. It is technically possible she did not know he killed her husband.

Of course, if there is evidence to the contrary, that’s different.

I’d bet the two of them had a lot of baggage in their marriage. Or at least luggage.

They had an 18 year-old daughter together when he was killed. Within 6 months she petitioned a court to have her husband's death declared an accident - and then collected $1.75 million in life insurance payout. She threatened her dead husband's mother not to open a criminal investigation or she would not allow her to see her granddaughter. Sounds like a sociopath.

So he'll lose sleep worrying about the new wife plotting to kill him if she tires of him but not lose any sleep over killing her first husband to begin with?

I don't think that's how killers think.

Finding the body after all these years, let’s the alligators off the hook and points to the “boyfriend/new husband” as the one who committed the crime and blabbed to deflect some of the guilt onto the ex-wife to get a more lenient sentence. The police cannot probably prove she knew about the crime I would think.

Yeah. They’re gonna need actual evidence or a confession. And if she has a good lawyer, they won’t get the latter until they can prove they have the former.

Feels kinda like an episode of Suits. :)

Best friend?

This guy was not the best judge of character with the wife and best friend he chose.
