Williams parent's had been estranged for a number of years and they had both took the stand in 2 trials. His mother begged for his life and said her husband basically had abandoned the family when the oldest child was 16 years old. His father said his wife and her parents had mental problems, but he did feel bad for his wife and the pain she was going through knowing her son had done something so evil.
Here are some newspaper articles with photos, I am not going to link very many because there are 100's.

I made him a tree, and there are many other trees with tons of information on his crimes attached along with his photos an mugshot. One is very detailed and the others look as if they just attached that one person's stuff. This just goes to show you that it's okay to add everything to your tree to make it as complete as possible.
