Apparent Break in Kaufman County Murder Case

KAUFMAN — Investigators working on the murder case against a former Kaufman County justice of the peace have apparently made an important connection. Sources say ballistics experts have been able to match shell casings found at the home of former DA Mike McLelland to unfired bullets found in the storage locker Eric Williams rented in Seagoville. Ballistics expert Daniel Jackson says, “It sounds like it’s entirely plausible that unfired cartridges that were cycled through the weapon were compared microscopically by firearms examiners.” Microscopic scratches help investigators match bullets. Williams (pictured) and his wife are being held on capital murder charges for the deaths of McLelland, his wife, and Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse.
