GALVESTON (AH) — A convicted kidnapper who recently led authorities to the remains in Texas of two women who vanished in 1997 has been moved to Oklahoma to face murder and kidnapping charges.
KHOU-TV reports that William Reece was moved to Oklahoma Monday. He is charged with the 1997 death of 19-year-old Tiffany Johnston.
Reece is serving a 60-year prison sentence in Texas for another kidnapping.
While in Texas custody, Reece led local authorities to the remains of 17-year-old Jessica Cain and 20-year-old Kelli Cox.
His attorney has previously said Reece cooperated with authorities in part because he hoped to avoid the death penalty in Oklahoma.
