Summary
When Mike Williams’ best friend and wife began a secret affair that lasted for years, they decided their best course of action was to take Mike out of the equation… indefinitely.
By faking an accidental drowning in crocodile-infested waters, they were able to keep authorities off their scent for years. But, the truth finally caught up to them after making some enemies along the way.
Mike Williams got justice, though no one has ever officially been charged with his murder. How is that possible, considering both criminals are locked away?
