On March 3, 1972, police in the District of Columbia announced that ten of 1971's thirty-eight unsolved murders were "hom*osexually motivated or related." Hesitant to speculate about connections in the crimes, investigators did report that they were searching for a single suspect, pictured in a photograph with victim James Williams, 55, found stabbed to death in his northwest apartment on April 13, 1971. The snapshot had been taken by a photographer known only as "Bill," who ignored official pleas for help in solving the case. At this writing, the murders remain unsolved, the killer (or killers) still at large.
