Can someone kindly direct me to where I can find out more information on a specific inmate? I have exhausted the internet by using the inmates name and have only come up with a few bits of information. The case was based on a murder of a Reno nurse and her unborn child back in 1983. All your help is greatly appreciated.

Usually your best source of information is to check through the newspaper articles.Can someone kindly direct me to where I can find out more information on a specific inmate?

Try this:
Go to Yahoo. Go to the advanced search option. In the search function, specify "inmate locator XX" where XX is the state where the inmate is incarcerated.
Each state is different, but if the designated State has an inmate locator page, it should refer you to the department of corrections for that State where you can find anything from criminal history to photographs, to earliest parole date. However, each State is unique and some do not provide that service (eg. Texas has no locator) some, such as Virginia, only provide the location of the offender, and some such as Oklahoma provide extensive information.
Next time, try to provide more info (eg. State you are looking for if you know it.) You might be surprised by the depth of knowledge around here.

Thanks again everyone! Here is what I found for you: www.ndoc.state.nv.us/ncis/detail.php?id_num=017919I am not sure if this is the same person you wish to find. The page does not describe the crime to know. Take care, Bobbie |

I didn't find much but I at least found the name of the victim. Hard to do sometimes. I am usually able to find quite a bit more info than this, and I am surprised that such a heinous case would not be more in the news, however it was quite a long time ago, before news articles were archived for web sites. Cary Williams - Reno Williams was sentenced to death by a 3-judge panel in 1983 after pleading guilty to the 1982 torture and murder of a pregnant Reno nurse, Katherine Carlson. I also found a letter to the editor regarding the case: To the editor: The Aug. 8 edition of the Review-Journal contained an interesting article concerning four convicts on death row, all of whom were convicted prior to reaching their 20th birthday. Among those listed was one Cary Williams, who was sentenced in 1983 for the torture and murder of a pregnant Reno nurse. That Reno nurse and her unborn child have been dead for 14 years, yet Cary Williams is still being given three meals a day, free medical treatment and shelter far superior to what thousands of our homeless citizens experience. Based on an estimated $25,000 per year cost for housing, feeding and caring for convicts, Cary Williams has thus far cost the taxpayers some $350,000. Intelligent citizens will always agree that every convicted person deserves several attempts at appealing a sentence. However, can't our judicial system place a reasonable limit on such matters? Surely, giving a convicted murderer a full five years in which to appeal would be more than fair. Keeping a convicted murderer on death row for 14 years or longer borders on the ridiculous. Our system must change so that relatives of the victims of horrendous crimes can experience at least a measure of satisfaction in the knowledge that the murderer who brought ruin into their lives was made to pay with his life. ROBERT E. HAYNES Las Vegas Thank you for the great information. I guess I forgot the most important info on the case. I know it involved the inamte by the name of cary williams in Reno Nevada, but that is all I know. Thanks again everyone! |
