Greenwood - William Thad Greenwood

William Thad Greenwood murdered Lucille DeBorde (14) Years Old and Diane Ross Williams Hall (29) Years Old in Highlands Texas 1978. Right beside the Catholic Church. His younger brother got Lucille pregnant at the time so the police arrested them both at first. Old Baytown Sun Newspaper Articles states that William tortured both women to death and had them chained to trees in the woods behind their house for days. Both brothers kidnapped Diane from Baytown to rape her but in the end because he was 16 he went to juvenile and his record is clean today. He got married and had children. William most recently was convicted of molesting his granddaughter April 16, 2018 from age 5-age 18 living in Hall Texas. The Greenwood Family had a pet shop in front of their home facing Main Street in 1978. You can find Lucille DeBorde and Diane Hall on FindAGrave.com The picture of Lucille is haunting because all she wanted was to be loved and have her baby at age 14. She has a star necklace on in the picture. The Greenwood Family Siblings still live around Humble, Channelview, Highlands, and Pasadena. Their Parents Are buried at Sterling White Cemetery In Highlands.

I knew an old police office that worked the case and he died about 2 years ago. He told me that case haunted him because Lucille was naked and William strangled her with her bra. Only her bra was around her neck. This monster William was let out of prison for both murders because of over crowding. They put his DNA in CODIS now because they believe he has murdered more women since 1991 his release. William is age 60 now.

  1. This monster was at my wedding in Houston in 1977. His brother was my husband's friend at the time. Even in our wedding photos, Billy looked so sinister, he gave me the creeps. It was so frightening when we found out the next year that he was a murderer.

    2. well the younger brother was in on the whole thing...now days he would have been tried as an adult..not just sent to juvenile. Although..it was the system back then that failed...he was released when he turned legal age to be tried for the murders and instead..they just released him......so I'm sure hes been raping..and murdering more people since he hit off free from those horrible murders.....

  6. I lived close to them and went to school with them.....the boys often talked about torchering the animals at the pet shop and there were lots of animal bones in the burn piles...when this happened back in 77..it was shocking but not surprising! Never knew the dad only the mom and 3 kids. Something was just not right at their house. So sad that they were never helped......
