Megan Williams on Video

I have not had a chance to blog about the important AP interview with Megan Williams. Go read it, but also check out the video excerpts from it, below. Megan Williams is articulate and composed. She does not seem at all like she is mentally challenged or “slow,” as has been reported.

No time for further comment just now, so I’ll hand it over to David Neiwert.

I couldn’t help reading this and feeling a chill. It reminded me of the stories people would tell from the lynching era, of anonymous black bodies floating by on local rivers, just so many more uncounted corpses atop the already considerable toll that mounted during those years. And you have to wonder how many cases like this have occurred in which the perpetrators have simply gone uncaught, because the disappearances were simply shrugged off.
