Trash uncover leads to old murder case
William "Billy" Morton was arrested and charged with first-degree murder for the 1985 killing of Hillary Hellewell in Newport, Rhode Island. Investigators used new DNA technology, linked through evidence recovered from a water bottle Morton left at a concert, to connect him to the crime after more than 40 years. The case was reopened in 2023, leading to Morton's arrest, and the case will proceed to a grand jury.
