"Wild Bill"
Contact At Least
Three Property
Owners In Costa
Rica
It is still
unknown as to
why William
Holbert "Wild
Bill", the
alleged serial
killer and his
wife passed up
Costa Rica after
leaving Panama.
Wild Bill, who
has already
admitted to
killing seven
people in
Panama, is said
to have
contacted at
least 3 people
in Costa Rica
who were
offering their
properties for
sale by way of
the internet.
The couple had
rented a cabin
and a house in
the Turrialba
area, but fled
shortly after
without settling
in and put into
play they ruse
of while
pretending to
buy property
would kill the
owners and take
over their
assets.
Panamanian
officials are
continuing to
dig for victims,
which is
expected to be
near 20.
Costa Rican
authorities have
learned that
potential
victims in
Grecia,
Alajuela, were
contacted by the
killer couple.
And it was
perhaps the
cunning of the
Grecia owner,
who inquired
about their
potential
buyers, that set
off the couple
on the run and
the manhunt that
ended when Wild
Bill and his
wife stared down
the rifles of
the Nicaraguan
army in the San
Juan river.
Panamanian
investigators
believe that
Will Bill had
contacted at
least three
properties
owners in Costa
Rica before
leaving Panama.
The killer
couple would
target property
owners who were
alone and could
easily disappear
without arousing
too much
attention.
Panamanian
authorities
believe the
murder of Cheryl
Hughes and Mike
Brown, two
ex-pat Americans
in Bocas del
Toro, Panama,
were the first
victims.
Residents of
Bocas del Toro
were surprised
to learn of whom
their neighbours
were when the
couple made
international
news headlines.
Willd Bill is
also wanted by
the FBI for
crimes allegedly
committed in
North Carolina.
Currently the
couple are in
detention in
Panama. |
