They lived in a middle-class neighborhood in Gainesville, where their kids could safely cross the street to swim in the community pool. She and her husband Paul had two daughters, Paige and Lindsey.
Lisa Williams, a Stephen Foster Elementary media specialist in Gainesville, had long dark hair and deep-set brown eyes. Their homes were less than an hour apart. But what she enjoyed the most, by far, was having her sister Lisa nearby. She savored the quiet, cold winters - drastically different from her native Fort Lauderdale. She looked forward to visits from a wild fox that occasionally naps in the grass outside her house. Garcia’s home in Ocala once felt peaceful. Whether that is for better or for worse is equally unknown. Though nothing is yet certain, the likelihood that Williams will be released from the forensic treatment center appears slim. “If he wasn’t crazy when he went in, he may be crazy now,” Garcia said. Until then, he remains in custody at the Treasure Coast Forensic Treatment Center more than 200 miles south of Gainesville in Indiantown, where he receives psychotropic medication and repeated psychological evaluation. There are good days and bad days, but it still affects him.Williams plans to plead insanity if and when he is cleared as competent, his lawyers say. They would want us all to go on with our lives, be happy and blessed.” In saying that, though, as we see in the ’20/20′ episode, even though more than three decades have gone by, the loss of his family still hangs over Scott’s head like a dark cloud. My dad, Julie, and Sean would not have wanted us to let this pull us to the bottom. It was my hand that took those precious lights out of this ole, dark world.”įollowing this much-awaited admittance of guilt, two days after Danny was pronounced dead, Scott released a statement calling the serial killer “the monster we all fear.” He continued, “It’s the thought that he no longer walks this Earth that gives me some sort of release. It read, in part, “Hereby, I make a formal, written statement concerning the murders of Julie, Tom, and Sean Grissom in my hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana… I, and I alone, am guilty. Leave him there.” Yet, it was only in 2006, shortly before Danny was executed, that he gave his pastor a handwritten confession for the Shreveport killings. However, once investigators told Scott that they were confident of Danny being behind the triple homicide and the college murders in Gainesville, advising him that the criminal would be executed quicker in Florida, he said, “Well, leave him there. “Knowing what happened,” Scott admitted to ‘ 20/20,’ “I can’t erase that out of my mind, and nobody should have to go through that.” He further added that when Danny was named the prime suspect in the matter, he wanted him to face justice in the city. The three generations were at the same place in part for Sean’s recent birthday. In fact, that fateful day was his first back at work from his honeymoon. Scott Grissom, William’s son, Julie’s brother, and Sean’s father, has since revealed that his family was killed in the patriarch’s home a week after one of the happiest days of his life - his wedding. As the only female victim this time, Julie was not only a brunette like most of the young women Danny later attacked in Gainesville, but she was also cleaned and provocatively posed. Once there, Danny stabbed all of its residents to death: 55-year-old William Thomas “Tom” Grissom, his 24-year-old daughter, Julie, and his 8-year-old grandson and Julie’s nephew, Sean. On November 4, 1989, after Daniel “Danny” Rolling was let go from his job as a waiter at a local restaurant, he bided his time before making his way to the Grissom household, located not more than half a mile from his parent’s place.
