Fingerprint re-examination cracked cold murder case, police say

    MOBILE, Alabama (WALA) — It was May 2, 2011, when 62-year-old William Willett suffered a fatal blast from a shotgun during a carjacking on Duval Street.
Mobile police found Willett’s Toyota Corolla a few hours later, but they had no suspects and leads dried up. Eventually, the case got put with the dozens of others in the cold case file.
Recently, Sgt. Nick Crepeau took a fresh look at the file. Since September, he has been the sole homicide investigator assigned to the Mobile Police Department’s cold case unit. While DNA evidence often leads to breaks in cold cases, Crepeau said in this case, it was old-fashioned police work – a re-examination late last year of fingerprints taken from the crime scene got a hit.
