On March 13, 2020, Nashville Metro police received a 911 call made by a construction worker who saw a white Acura that hit a tree.
Inside the vehicle were the bodies of Holly Williams and Bill Lanway, an esthetician and a mechanic respectively, who were shot several times, according to investigators.
The three-year investigation into their murders would uncover a whole host of secrets, including an illicit affair and a conspiracy.
“This was like a scene out of a movie,” Metro Nashville PD Det. Patrick Cuthbertson, one of the case’s investigators, said.
“20/20” will explore the case in an episode airing Friday, Feb. 9, at 9 p.m. ET and streaming on Hulu the next day, featuring exclusive interviews with the people who investigated the murders and brought those responsible to justice.
Friends of Williams told “20/20” that they thought the relationship between the couple was toxic. Williams installed security cameras in her apartment because of reported domestic disputes with Lanway.
