*DREAMS
Coral Eugene Watts murdered at least 13 women but went to prison only for aggravated burglary; someday he'll get out
By EVAN MOORE Houston Chronicle
Published Sunday 4/7/91
He was 12 when the dreams started.
Killing women, always killing. He'd jump and twitch, punch their evil spirits with the practiced fluency of a boxer, twist and writhe until he fell from the bed. Sometimes he'd awaken and crawl back to the sheets, back to the arms of the dreams. More often he'd spend the night on the floor, never leaving their embrace.
They weren't nightmares. He enjoyed them.
Eventually, the dreams seeped into reality. He watched women, stalked them, looked for their evil eyes. Impulse gave birth to action, and by age 15 he had begun hitting, stomping, choking them.
He never raped, and he rarely mutilated. The satisfaction came from the hunt and the attack. Besides, he liked things neat and clean. Ultimately, it wasn't enough to hurt them. He had to kill. Over the years he strangled, stabbed, drowned and even hanged.
No one knows exactly how many.* By his own count it's close to 100.
Today, Coral Eugene Watts is 38 and an inmate serving a 60-year sentence in the Clements unit of the Texas prison system, near Amarillo. Despite his admission of killing 13 women, 10 of those in Houston, Watts is in prison not for murder, but for burglary. He may be the nation's only known black serial killer and perhaps the most prolific killer in custody today.
"Only known black serial killer" my ass. Message: "You see, folks, while it may be true that blacks commit more murders than whites generally, you shouldn't get all riled up about it because Watts is an anomaly. Only Sick Evil White Men can be real ghouls".
Lying sack of filth!

And, finally, he was caught. It took bad luck and overreaching on Watts ' part. He'd already killed in the early morning hours of May 23, 1982, already followed Michelle Maday to her apartment, dragged her inside and drowned her in a bathtub of hot water, but he wasn't satisfied.....
