About this episode

The episode discusses the unsolved murder of Patricia Ann Veach and its connection to convicted killer Anthony Erthel Williams.

This month marks fifty seven years since someone killed little Patricia Ann Veach. Patricia was less than a month away from her ninth birthday when she was killed. Two weeks before the murder, she served as a flower girl at her aunt and uncle’s wedding. While Patricia Ann Veach’s murder remains unsolved it will forever be tied to convicted killer Anthony Erthel Williams. Williams was convicted for the abduction murder of ten year old Pamela Powers. Williams proclaimed that the murder of Patricia Ann Veach seven months later was proof that the real killer of Powers was still out there and the little children of Iowa were not safe.
