the user i.d. for the county crimestoppers anonymous tip line. the first number corresponded to a tip from early in the hasse case. the tipster claimed to have overheard two men in a bar saying they d killed mark hasse. that meant the tip came from williams computer. a follow-up computer search also revealed williams had searched several how-to websites. one of the websites was how to throw the police off an investigation by sending in fake tips. the second number on that scrap of paper was even more important because it turned out to be the real thing. it matched back to that computer message that gave details about the hasse murder weapon and also threatened more killings. so we knew right then that that tip that had come into the command post was sent by eric williams. and we knew right then we were going to be able to put eric williams in jail. he was arrested, not for murder, but for making a terrorist threat about killing a judge.

he s a pretty legendary guy. he was a famous texas ranger. and he was shaking up, and if he s shaking, up that scared the hell out of me. it was eerily quiet amongst them because they were dealing with something i don t think anyone had ever seen before. aside from the obvious, two people are dead, what was shaking them up so badly? i think the big question is, who s next? because everyone s assumption was standing outside of that yellow tape is that it could ve been any one of us. cynthia s murder escalated the danger not just for law enforcement but now for families. that man had crossed the line with by what murdering a family member. it sure seemed like the hasse and mclelland were connected. and everyone was afraid that the killings were not over. did you think it was a list? oh sure, there was going to
