Clark Williams Criminologist heads to Dallas to investigate gay Ennis man’s 1994 murder CAROLINE SAVOIE | Contributing Writer CaroSavoWrites@gmail.com A retired social worker turned criminologist is on his way to Dallas this month to find answers for a family whose relative, a gay Ennis man, was found bound and slashed to death in an Irving field in June 1994.
Clark Williams, a gay Wisconsin native who now lives in Los Angeles, said he never intended on working in criminology — at least, not until his daughter moved off to college, and he found himself with ample time on his hands.
He learned about a filmmaker who was working on a documentary about the 1990 homicide of William “Billy” Newton in West Hollywood.
The filmmaker, Rachel Mason, had new information that would implicate Milwaukee serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in the murder. But Williams had grown up alongside Dahmer in Wisconsin, and he knew he had information that would disavow her lead.
