TOWN OF SHARON - State police in Princetown arrested the following two individuals who fled New York State with Gerry King the day after the murder of his father, George King:

In custody are Joleen Henderson, 36, Carlisle Road, Spreakers,  and Alice Williams, 72, Beechwood Road, Sharon Springs.

Henderson, who is the girlfriend of Gerry King, and her 13 year old son, and her mother, Alice Williams, left the capital district with Gerry King on Monday evening, November 16th. They traveled to Massachusetts the first day and then on to Connecticut. Troopers had developed information on King and were looking for him when they discovered that King had fled the state with Henderson and Williams in Williams’ vehicle.

Police agencies throughout New England were notified, and troopers from the Connecticut State Police observed Williams’ van the morning of Tuesday, November 17th. Troopers detained King, Henderson, and Williams, and secured vital evidence for the homicide investigation. Four investigators from the New York State Police traveled to the Connecticut State Police barracks at Troop B in North Canaan where King, Henderson and Williams were interviewed. 

King, who waived extradition, was transported back to New York and charged with the murder of George King. Henderson and Williams were released to return to New York with Henderson’s 13 year old son. Troopers continued to follow leads and develop information that led them to charge both Henderson and Williams in connection with the homicide.
