Leslie Allen Williams

Early life
Leslie Allen Williams was born on the 4th of July 1953 in Detroit, Michigan. His mother neglected him from a young age, so he was sent to and raised by his grandparents. His first run-in with the law was in 1970, when he was 17, when he was arrested for breaking into a home in his neighborhood. He served only a year before getting out and continuing his criminal path. Over the next 12 years, Williams was repeatedly arrested for crimes that increased in severity. In September 1983, he was arrested for sexually assaulting a woman in her home, for which he was sentenced to 20 years in prison.Murders

He raped and then killed her, burying her body in a shallow grave that he had dug.On September 29, 1991, Williams attacked sisters Melissa Urbin, who was 14, and Michelle Urbin, who was 16, when the two were out walking at night. He raped and killed them, and put their bodies in his car. He drove to a secluded area and dug two shallow graves, but before burying them, Williams said he had sex with their bodies.
