Tricia Todd, a mother from Hobe Sound, Florida, was brutally murdered by her ex-husband Steven Williams in April. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office has released the entire case file of evidence, revealing the shocking details of the crime.
Detective Michael Oliver, one of the investigators who interviewed Williams, disclosed that the killer had planned the murder in advance. However, after spending the day with Tricia, he couldn’t muster the courage to carry out the plan.
Williams eventually confessed to the crime, revealing that he sent a text message to Tricia, claiming their daughter was ill, to lure her to his location. He intended to force Tricia to provide her email password and other information.
Williams attempted to choke Tricia but waited for her to regain consciousness. When she did, she screamed, prompting Williams to strike her in the head with a club until she fell silent. He then choked her to death.
The chilling confession reveals that Williams planned to create fake emails to deceive Tricia’s family into believing she had gone on a mission trip to Haiti. He wanted to mislead them about her disappearance.
The murder took place in the same room where their daughter was sleeping, unaware of the horrific crime unfolding beside her. Williams’ confession has brought closure to the case, but the tragedy of Tricia’s murder will be remembered by her loved ones and the community.
The release of the case file and Williams’ confession serve as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of domestic violence. Tricia’s story is a tragic reminder of the importance of seeking help and support for those affected by abuse.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office and Detective Oliver are commended for their tireless efforts in bringing justice to Tricia and her family. May Tricia’s memory be honored, and may her story inspire others to seek help and support in the face of domestic violenc
