Grandfather Admits Killing Granddaughter During Police Statement
A 65-year-old ex-convict, William M. Faler, alias Cecil Floyd, signed a statement admitting he killed his teenage granddaughter JoAnn Wyse, 13, whose body was found at a nearby airfield after a 12-day disappearance. Prosecutors charged him with first degree murder, carrying a potential death penalty. Faler, held for preliminary hearing, claimed he strangled JoAnn after meeting near the field. Proven facts include the slaying, Faler’s past prison terms, and the concurrent Missouri Young Democrats convention underway in Jefferson City.
