Wife Who Plotted Husband's Murder with His Best Friend, Then
Married Him, Gets Life in Prison

Denise Williams is not eligible for parole and will spend the rest
of her life behind bars


In the months before Mike Williams went missing, Mike's wife took
out a million-dollar life insurance policy on her husband. And
making thing even more suspicious was the man who helped her sign
the papers.

A Florida woman will spend the rest of her life in prison after
being found guilty of helping to mastermind the murder of her
husband in 2000.

Last month, a jury found Denise Williams guilty on three counts,
including first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, in
the death of her husband, Jerry Michael “Mike” Williams. On
Wednesday, she was sentenced to life in prison without parole,
PEOPLE confirms.

During the trial, jurors heard testimony that the 48-year-old woman
conspired to kill her husband with help from his best friend, Brian
Winchester, whom she married five years later.

According to testimony, Mike Williams packed up his boat on Dec.
16, 2000, to go duck hunting on Florida’s Lake Seminole. The
31-year-old father had planned to spend a few hours out on the
water and then return home for a weekend anniversary trip with his
wife.

But he never made it back — beginning a 17-year mystery that was
only recently solved. (The case was featured in a December 2018
episode of People Magazine Investigates.)

When Mike first disappeared, his father-in-law searched for him and
found his abandoned boat. His vehicle was still on the shore.
Police speculated that he had fallen into the water and been eaten
by alligators.

Denise and Winchester, who married in 2005, had Mike declared dead
after he vanished and collected on three life insurance policies
worth more than $1.75 million.
