"Already considered a "person of interest" in the murders of two women at a Milton motel, authorities believe William "Billy" Boyette Jr. has committed a third murder with the slaying of a Lillian, Alabama, woman.
An added twist to the case came Saturday morning when the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office issued a news release on the search for a missing person, 37-year-old Mary Michelle Craig Rice, of Milton, who is believed to be traveling with Boyette, now considered a fugitive from justice.
According to multiple media reports, a warrant has been signed in Baldwin County, Alabama, for Boyette's arrest on a charge of capital murder involving the death of 52-year-old Peggy Phillips Broz.
Fox 10 News reported that Broz was found shot to death Friday morning in the front yard of her Lillian home. The Mobile television station noted that Broz was returning from work as a respiratory therapist at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola.
It also was reported Saturday that Boyette, 44, abandoned the 2003 white Chrysler Concord he stole following the murder of Broz in a wooded area near the intersection of Interstate 10 and Nine Mile Road outside Pensacola. Boyette and Rice are the center of a manhunt involving multiple agencies across state lines, with a particular focus in Baldwin and Escambia counties.
Earlier in the week, Boyette was being sought by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office - who listed him as a "person of interest" - in the shooting deaths of Alicia Ann Greer, 30, and Jacqueline Jeanette Moore, 39, at Emerald Sands Suites in Milton on Tuesday. The bodies of both victims from Escambia County were found inside a room.
On Greer's Facebook profile, she listed herself as "in a relationship" and is pictured with Boyette, whose address on the Florida Department of Corrections website was listed as 1697 Beachside Drive in Pensacola.
Boyette is considered armed and dangerous and anyone with information about him or Rice should contact local law enforcement immediately.
