JUSTICE FOR CAMILLIA: ILLEGAL MIGRANT SUSPECT SET FREE, CHOKES MOM-OF-5 DEAD

CRIME Stories with Nancy Grace

Cobb County, Georgia, police and EMTs respond to a 911 call reporting an unconscious person just before 8:30 a.m. They find a woman’s body in a bush, her face partially covered by her disheveled sweater. Police say she has been dead for several hours and that there are signs of a struggle.

Authorities identify the woman as Camillia Williams, a mother of five. Her family in Louisiana describes her as someone who wouldn’t hurt a fly and could hold a conversation with anyone. Police say the 52-year-old was strangled.

Detectives with the Cobb County Police Department spend two days searching the neighborhood where Williams’ body was found. Investigators block off the street while collecting evidence and knock on neighbors’ doors, looking for witnesses and surveillance footage. A neighbor across the street from where Williams was found turns over Ring doorbell footage, revealing the entire attack on video. The footage shows a young man closely following Williams. When she turns to tell him to leave her alone, he rushes at her.

The video shows the man wrapping Williams in a chokehold and dragging her to bushes in front of a home on Pat Mell Road. When she goes limp, he puts both knees on her neck and kneels there for several minutes, preventing her from breathing. He then casually walks away.

Investigators identify the attacker as 21-year-old Honduran national Hector Sagastume.
