Unveiling the Dark Past of Serial Killer Scott Williams
The infamous killer at the center of this story is Scott Williams, who resided in Monroe, North Carolina, the same town as Dylan. Williams was convicted for the brutal murders of three women over a harrowing nine-year period from 1997 to 2006. His first victim was 37-year-old Sharon House Pressley, followed by 34-year-old Christina Outz Parker in 2004, and 46-year-old Sharon Tucker Stone in 2006. Tragically, all three women were found with gunshot wounds to the head and had been dismembered.
At the time of his crimes, Williams was employed by the North Carolina Department of Transportation. His eventual arrest came only after it was revealed he had a connection to Stone, as reported by Star-News. Subsequent investigations uncovered that Williams also had acquaintanceship with Pressley and Parker. In 2008, he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole after being convicted of three counts of first-degree murder, along with charges for kidnapping, rape, and sexual offenses against two other women who survived their ordeals in 1995 and 2000. Currently, he is serving his sentence at the Alexander Correctional Institution in Taylorsville, North Carolina, as noted by wsoctv.com.
Behind the Scenes: How Dylan Came to Own the Disturbing Record Collection
In the first part of the video, Dylan shared the story of how he came into possession of this unsettling record collection. As Noble Records frequently purchases various albums, Dylan received an unexpected phone call from an individual inquiring whether the store would be interested in buying a serial killer’s record collection. Without hesitation, he responded, “I would absolutely love to.” His enthusiasm stemmed not only from a passion for collecting records but also from the belief that the more eccentric the person, the more intriguing the collection would be.
The person who contacted Dylan explained that he was assisting Williams’ family in selling his possessions following his incarceration. After some discussions and negotiations, the records were delivered to Dylan in a pickup truck, marking the beginning of a fascinating yet eerie journey into the past of a convicted murderer.
A Surprising Discovery: The Contents of Williams’ Record Collection
Dylan anticipated uncovering albums from heavier and more unconventional bands such as Slayer or Danzig, but to his surprise, he discovered that only one metal album was included in this collection. “It was just so normal!” he remarked, expressing disappointment about the nature of the records.
Instead of the expected heavy metal, the collection predominantly featured music from popular and mainstream artists like Barbra Streisand, The Carpenters, and Johnny Cash. One of the most unusual aspects was the presence of six copies of Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Dylan noted, “The only metal record was an Exciter record; I believe it was Exciter’s self-titled album. Not particularly unique or exciting when it comes to metal.” He elaborated that the rest of the collection consisted of albums he would encounter on a daily basis, lacking any rare or intriguing finds.
Ultimately, the only record Dylan chose to keep for himself from the collection was a vinyl by the short-lived ’70s band Mama Lion, which he deemed the most interesting among the bunch. To delve deeper into Dylan’s experience, be sure to watch the full video below.
