Mr. & Mrs. Murder: Where are Brian and Denise now? Details from the Hulu docuseries, explored

The recent Hulu docuseries, Mr. & Mrs. Murder, has captured the attention of audiences with its devastating details. Mr. & Mrs. Murder has four episodes, and in the span of these four episodes, viewers get to learn about the friendship between Kathy, Brian, Denise, and Mike and how their interconnected lives led to a devastating tragedy full of deceit and betrayal.

Mr. & Mrs. Murder focuses on the disappearance of Jerry Michael “Mike” Williams, who vanished in December 2000 during a regular duck hunting trip on Lake Seminole. The truth behind his disappearance remained a mystery for almost two decades, before his friend and hunting partner, Brian Winchester, came forward with the confession that he had killed Mike as he and Denise had begun an extramarital affair and decided to kill Mike. Even though Brian was married to Kathy, he fell for Denise, and the two hatched a wicked scheme to get rid of Mike, as Brian did not want to kill Kathy, who was the mother of his children.

Mr. & Mrs. Murder unravels the various twists and turns in this case’s history and reveals the chilling details about how two friends betrayed the other two and even murdered one of their own.

How did Brian and Denise get together and eventually kill Mike in Mr. & Mrs. Murder?

Brian Winchester met his wife, Kathy, at High School and also had a brief fling with Denise. However, Brian married Kathy and had children, and became friends with Denise and her husband Mike. The two couples became extremely close and used to frequently go on double dates as mentioned in Mr. & Mrs. Murder. However, things changed when Brian and Denise started an affair without the knowledge of Mike and Kathy, and became extremely serious about one another. They planned on getting rid of their partners, but Brian did not want to kill Kathy, who was the mother of his children. Therefore, the two agreed to kill Mike.

On the morning of December 16, 2000, Brian went on Lake Seminole with Mike and convinced him to put on waders before pushing him in the water and making it look like an accidental drowning. However, when the plan failed, Brian shot Mike with a gun. He then drove Mike’s remains in a car to Tallahassee and buried him near Lake Carr. Brian even planted Mike’s belongings and clothes near the lake to make it look like a hunting accident. Eventually, the authorities thought that it really was an accident, and the case was closed.

Denise claimed multiple life insurance policies, and Brian and Kathy eventually divorced. Finally, Denise and Brian made their relationship official and got married in 2005. However, the bond between the two of them crumbled as well as it was reported that Brian has a s*x addiction. Finally, Denise filed for divorce in 2015.

The fates of Brian and Denise from Mr. & Mrs. Murder

Brian threatened to kill himself if Denise went ahead with the divorce and while Denise pacified him at that moment, she eventually told the police about his actions and he was arrested on the charges of kidnapping, domestic assault, and burglary. Before his sentencing, Brian struck a deal and agreed to implicate Denise in the murder of Mike Williams so that his sentence could get lighter.

Brian led the investigators to the burial site of Mike near Lake Carr and he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He will also serve 15 years of probation following the completion of his sentence. In May 2018, Denise was arrested and charges with first-degree murder, conspiracy to murder, and accessory in the killing of her first husband, Mike. Brian was the witness and his confession made the jury believe that Denise was guilty.

As of today, Denise has been sentenced to life in prison and Brian is serving his sentence at Madison Correctional Institution in Madison, Florida, with his release date set for July 2036.
