[quote=Anonymous]Edith Anita Welch-Williams was actually killed by Emory Galvestor Cooper, Jr., aka "Tootie" Cooper (of 221 Ashley Avenue, Rockville, MD).  On the night of August 30, 1964, he ran her car off the road (on Seven Locks Road in an area within a mile of the new Montgomery County Police Station).  Her car was left with her purse in it.  Her body was found in a pig pen on Cooper's family land (in Scotland Community) on September 20, 1964  about 2 1/2 miles from where her car was left. (A young boy from the community reported the body).  Ms. Welch-William's body was badly decomposed and damaged by the pigs.  Shortly there after, Cooper was overheard in a bar telling Baker about the murder.  Baker became upset because he had lent Cooper his car that night who had obviously used it to abduct Edith. Baker and Cooper were neighbors on Ashley Avenue, Rockville.  About six months after this incident, Cooper abducted another woman, this time a 40 year old woman (Ila P. Allnutt) in Poolesville, Maryland.  Mrs. Alnutt was able to fight Cooper off, she also managed to get his tag number as he drove off.  He was charged in that case and served some time; however the police never made the connection between that case and the Edith Welch-Williams one.  It was solved only when an informant came forward 43 years later to say he had overheard Coopers and Baker's conversation.  By that time, Cooper was dead.  Baker was questioned and before he could be charged, he died.  Since 2007, the Montgomery County Police have successfully solved a number of cold cases.   [/quote]
