UPDATE December 21, 2022, Cops confirm William Devonshire is/was a serial killer, rapist, roaming the streets of Sarasota for over 9 years, how many bodies on this monster? Sarasota Herald Trib writes: The Florida Department of Law Enforcement concluded in a report that DNA evidence from a killing in March connected to William Devonshire, 59. Devonshire also was arrested in connection to the murder of a second Sarasota woman in February. Devonshire had a murder conviction in Delaware before arriving in Sarasota in 2013, three bodies makes him a serial killer, although I already told you this back in June of 2022. Sarasota Fl has been home to two other infamous men linked to extreme violent murder and rape of women in the Sarasota - Bradenton area, John Waterman and Delmer Smith!
UPDATE June 6th, 2022: Serial killer William Devonshire dies in County jail good riddance to bad rubbish. Sarasota Police Dept pins 2nd local murder on him, that's at least 3 bodies on this goon. The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office is confident he died from a medical-related illness but the official cause of death will come from the District 12 Medical Examiner’s Office. The Sarasota Police Department will now close the homicide case that happened in February 2022 and the homicide case that happened in March 2022 because of the death of Devonshire. The State Attorney’s Office of the 12th Judicial Circuit cannot continue to prosecute due to the death of Devonshire.
In a December 21st, 2015 Battery by Strangulation and Kidnapping arrest in Sarasota Fl by serial killer William Devonshire, he told the woman victim that "Ill Kill You Just Like I Killed Him" (reference to his Delaware murder conviction). The incident occurred near the 10th Street Boat Ramp in Sarasota. The State Attorney's office foolishly dropped prosecution of this battery-strangulation-kidnapping case against William Devonshire in 2015, WHY? William Devonshire killed because he liked it, the 3 known murder victims are just the tip of the iceberg for this serial killer! Supposedly this dirtbag William Devonshire had a terminal illness, if the State Attorney office had moved forward with any of his multiple Sarasota arrests and prosecuted this goon, he could have and should have died in prison and not killed two women! Police said Devonshire voluntarily gave police a DNA sample that matched DNA found on Ripley's body during an autopsy.
William Devonshire, a homeless drifter, began his criminal career as a 14-year-old in Delaware. By the time he left prison in that state in 2013, he had been arrested more than 69 times, on charged including domestic battery, aggravated assault, sexual battery, rape and robbery. In 2003, Devonshire was charged with first-degree murder. The charges were eventually reduced to second-degree murder. William Devonshire was released from prison in Delaware in the fall of 2013 and moved to Sarasota Fl in November 2013, lucky us.
Serial Killer William Devonshire Attacking Women in Sarasota Since Nov 2013 Arrival From Newark DE On Parole for Murder IN 2003. This 6' 4" tall, 220 pound monster has been roaming amongst us in downtown Sarasota since Nov 2013. Ex-con William J. Devonshire, DOB 9/23/1969, decided this area was best for him after his parole for murder in Wilmington DE, lucky us. William J. Devonshire had arrests in New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Maryland, Wilmington Delaware (Mid Atlantic trucking routes) and Sarasota Florida, I get the impression William Devonshire worked as a long haul trucker. I-95 runs directly through Wilmington Delaware, a transportation hub, where William Devonshire had lived. William Devonshire is a convicted murderer, as a result of an incident which occurred on April 3, 2003 in the State of Delaware.
Serial Killers like William Devonshire go after marginalized individuals particularly prostitutes, drug addicts and the homeless relatively easy marks as they tend to lose touch with family and friends and might have a history of disappearing for extended periods of time. There is no doubt in my mind that William "Bill" Devonshire killed the two homeless women along the north Tamiami Trl, in Feb and March of 2022, that makes him a serial killer with his prior murder conviction in Delaware. How many other bodies are on this monster is unknown.

William Devonshire's signature style of murder is blunt force trauma and manual strangulation. William J. Devonshire did time in the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution also known as Gander Hill Prison due to the neighborhood in which it is located is a Level 5 facility. In Sarasota, he grabs the women by the throat and strangles the life out of his victims with his bare hands after striking them in the head.
Serial killer Ted Bundy was known to bludgeon his victims with a metal rod or a crowbar first and then strangling them. Murder by strangulation tends to be personal, the murderer likely doesn’t want to remove themselves from the act by stepping back and firing a gun—they prefer placing their hands on the victim and taking away their life, in a close and personal manner. Serial killers: 2,000. There are thousands of unsolved mysteries throughout America every year, many of which are homicides.
Although it's impossible to arrive at an exact number of serial killers, officials at the Murder Accountability Project (MAP) estimate there are as many as 2,000 at large. "There are more than 220,000 unsolved murders since 1980, so when you put that in perspective, how shocking is it that there are at least 2,000 unrecognized series of homicides?" A serial killer is defined as anyone who has murdered two or more people, like William Devonshire.
