William Lewis Reece was an American serial killer and predator who committed a series of violent abductions, rapes, and murders of young women and girls across Oklahoma and Texas during the 1990s. His reign of terror was ultimately halted when victim Sandra Sapaugh bravely escaped his truck and assisted law enforcement in securing his initial imprisonment. Years later, advanced DNA testing and recovered physical evidence linked Reece to the tragic murder of Tiffany Johnston, sparking a broader investigation into his involvement in other missing persons cases along the Interstate 45 corridor. Facing mounting evidence, Reece negotiated a plea deal by revealing the locations of victims Jessica Cain and Kelli Ann Cox, while also being implicated in the death of Laura Smither. Ultimately, through the relentless determination of grieving families and investigators, Reece was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death in Oklahoma alongside multiple life terms in Texas.
