Overview

• Kierre Williams, 43, is being held without bond as the murder case against him for the fatal stabbing of Rev. Stephen Gutgsell in Fort Calhoun, Nebraska, proceeds.
• There appears to be no connection between Williams and Gutgsell, who was found dead in his home next to St. John the Baptist Catholic Church.
• Williams was found lying on top of the badly wounded priest, and a broken knife was found in the middle of a blood stain on the floor of Gutgsell's bedroom.
• Williams has an extensive criminal history with several felony convictions in other states and was working in a meatpacking plant in Sioux City, Iowa, at the time of the killing.
• The Archdiocese of Omaha has announced that the church Gutgsell served will now share a priest with two other churches in nearby small towns.
