A major drug bust in New Jersey on Monday led authorities to connect a drug dealer to a number of unsolved child murders, 7Online reported.
Charles Williams, 62, is one of 115 drug dealers arrested in Hackensack for selling heroin and oxycodone. In addition to the drug charges, new evidence may link him to more than one cold case in the state.
In 1969, Williams spent 16 years in a Virginia prison for sodomizing and killing two boys.
Currently, he is charged with three counts of distribution of narcotics and three counts of distribution near a public park. However, while an undercover officer approached him about purchasing drugs, he learned of a stabbing Williams committed on Feb. 6.
As a result, he was charged with aggravated assault.
The drug sting in Hackensack is reportedly considered the largest the city has ever seen, cracking down on heroin, crack cocaine, powder cocaine, marijuana, Molly, Roxy, and Oxy.
Undercover officers also purchased what's being called "Pink Crack/Strawberry Crack," which users have claimed give them a stronger high and may be a combination of methamphetamine and cocaine. They also bought "WET," which is marijuana laced with embalming fluid.
Additionally, multiple officers bought handguns from the dealers.
Richard Shoop, who killed himself in the Garden State Plaza Mall late last year, was also set to be arrested in the drug sting. In a note he left behind, he suggested he was part of an investigation.
