Redding, California-- Two brothers, Benjamin Matthew Williams, 31, and James Tyler Williams, 29, both suspected in the murders of a gay male couple in nearby Happy Valley, may also have had a hand in the recent firebombings of three Sacramento synagogues, according to Federal explosives experts conducting a search here.
The murdered gay couple, Gary Matson and Winfield Scott Mowder, were found shot less than two weeks ago in their rural home on a five acre plot. Pamphlets promoting white supremacy were discovered at the Williams' brothers' home where several bags of evidence were removed. Investigators suspect that their case may be part of an extensive hate-crime conspiracy and are indicating that the Williams brothers could also be linked to the anti-Semitic World Church of the Creator, based in Illinois. After a shooting rampage last week aimed at minorities and causing havoc in Indiana and Illinois, a youthful killer, a former member of the World Church of the Creator ended his own life with a bullet through his chin.
