WILLIAM NEAL TERRAL
Cops: Grandfather Betrays Family's Trust
Terral had worked as a corrections officer for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Cops hope he goes back into the prison system in another capacity. When three children were in need of someone to take care of them, their mother grudgingly turned them over to her father, William Terral, Jr. He seemed like a good choice. He was already close to the family; he had a good job in law enforcement; and he appeared to have a good head on his shoulders. It's too bad that looks can be deceiving...Cops say that over a five-month period, Terral took disgusting liberties with the three girls, aged 9, 10, and 11. Cops say Terral showed the girls child pornography, and then took it to the next step. If they wanted to go swimming, authorities say he forced them to commit sex acts with him. They want to do something else, another act. When the children bravely came forward, Terral hit the road and the kids were spared Terral's disgusting alleged antics. It was also clear why their mother didn't like the scenario from the beginning: she claimed that she, too, had been a victim of Terral's sexual exploits when she was 12 years old, even though charges were never filed in that matter. In the past, cops say Terral has commented that he wanted to sail to Guatemala and marry a 13-year-old girl. ..
Unstable And On The Run
Alleged claims and threats by Terral have put cops on high alert.......When Terral hit the road, the United States Marshals Service joined the manhunt, digging into Terral's background. In talking to his family, a consistent and disturbing storyline emerged.....Family members told Deputy Marshals that Terral had often commented that if confronted by law enforcement, he would take a life, either the unknowing officer's or his own.....Because it is believed that Terral has two guns with him, there's no reason to disbelieve him.....Also, according to another family member, Terral is known to keep a piece of paper in his pocket with a list of phone numbers. Those are believed to be family member's numbers.....The thought is when his body is eventually found, cops will know who to call. Clearly, the race is on to find William Terral.......
From The High Seas To The Mountains
When a fugitive has the desire to leave the country, finding him becomes a much more dire proposition.......In the past, cops say Terral has commented that he wanted to sail to Guatemala and marry a 13-year-old girl.....Cops know he owns 29-foot sailboat, named "Esparanza," so he has the wherewithal to put that plan into motion.....If not on the sea, cops say Terral is an avid outdoorsman, known to stay in campgrounds, and could be living out a camper or even a pick-up truck.......
