Product Information

Yeah, I know. Alice is a precinct judge in my precinct. She lives just north of me and the cemetery is just south of where we live. Right after her daughter was buried, she was in the office one day and told me that Sharon’s husband had murdered her daughter. I just thought she was upset at him. One morning I went to the office early to catch up on some paperwork. It was about 6:30 a.m. I was reading and, although I didn’t hear anyone, I had the feeling there was someone in the room. I looked up to find a woman standing in front of my desk. Her small frame of about ninety pounds was still as she looked at me with eyes that looked like glass marbles. Is there any other place your mother may have stopped other than school and work? detectives asked. Another caller told the police she had known Marie since August 1980 and occasionally had lunch with Marie. She said that Dr. Azevedo seemed to upset Marie very much and there appeared to be problems with child abuse on the part of the father. She said Dr. Azevedo came over to the United States before the rest of the family. Later, when Marie and the boy came over from India to join him, his son did not remember him. Dr. Azevedo beat him, trying to get him to remember. Marie told her that when they lived in Chicago, she turned him into the Department of Children and Family Services after he placed the boy in a trash can and said, I don’t want you if your not going to love me. Next, they interviewed her oldest son, thirteen-year-old Alberic. Alberic said the last time he saw his mother was when she left their home at 2012 Pine St. in Murphysboro to take his brother and sisters to school. He said his mother was acting normal.

Dentist Allen Azevedo, the husband of the victim, immediately became a suspect as police probed into the homicide case. Although, they learned that the dentist had an airtight alibi. Police investigated the case for three years without any success.Continuing the investigation, police begin interviewing neighbors and friends of Marie and the family. Most of the neighbors did not see anything unusual on the morning of Marie’s disappearance, but they did say that she was a wonderful mother and a very nice person. No one believed that she would go anywhere and leave her children alone. Another caller said she was in Dr. Azevedo’s office at 4:30 p.m. on April 1, 1981, waiting for her appointment. While she was waiting, Dr. Azevedo told her that he heard something on the radio that had him upset. He did not mention what it was he heard. The lady changed her appointment and left. Marie said Dr. Azevedo did not want the youngest child to go to a babysitter or to play with other children. He preferred the child stay in his office by herself. She stops for gas sometimes. She gets gas at the Martin station in Murphysboro and sometimes in Carbondale. I went to the judge and we finally got permission to exhume the body. On April 1, 1986, almost three years after she had been buried, Sharon’s body was exhumed and taken to a local funeral home for verification that the body was that of Sharon Williams, and to insure that all legal procedures were followed. Her body was shipped to St. Charles County, Missouri, for an autopsy. After careful examination, Dr. Case determined that Sharon Williams had died as a result of blows from a blunt instrument to the skull—not from the vehicle accident. Sharon Williams had been murdered.
