If you see an online ad that starts like this...
"Hi, I'm Bill. I'm compassionate, athletic guy who enjoys Mediterranean food, the poetry of Keats and Kavafy, and baroque music..."
... beware, what he doesn't mention is that he is currently in jail, a result of his unfortunate habit of beating his ex-girlfriends to death with a hammer.
The ad was placed by William Coday, currently awaiting sentencing in a Florida jail for the 1997 murder of Gloria Gomez, who was stabbed 87 times, but beaten with a hammer only 57 times. He had previously served 18 months in a German prison for killing a different ex-girlfriend in 1978. That time he only used a hammer.
