Kiss and Kill is generally known as the murder of Betty Williams. According to reports, her situation was covered in nearly every newspaper in the world.

She was a teen whose life was cut short by her ex-lover. Several sources, however, allege that Betty asked her ex-boyfriend to murder her.

As a result, netizens are still perplexed over Betty’s death. We should most likely treat her death as a homicide.

On March 20, 1961, John agreed to execute her at her request. They allegedly went to a stock tank on his parents’ property.

He shot Betty in the head with a shotgun and dismembered her body parts there. She was reported missing two days later, and when Herring was probed, he didn’t hesitate to tell the police officers the truth.

John was eventually charged for murder but was promptly acquitted. According to his lawyers, he suffered from a disease known as temporary insanity.

Interestingly, he was prosecuted for murder again, and this time he was acquitted. Herring’s social standing did not suffer as a result of the incident.

Betty Williams was a high school student from Odessa, Texas. She died as a teen in 1961, according to reports.

Her tale was included on the television episode A Crime to Remember. Interestingly, her cousin, Shelton Williams, assisted in the production of the show.

Until 2006, there were tales that Betty’s ghost haunted the high school. To combat the ghost story culture, the administration later painted the windows of the school auditorium.
