Houston Murder Suspect Added To International Crime Database
William Joseph Greer was charged with homicide in 2006 and accused of killing Tammy Marie Esquivel.
The body has never been found, but William Joseph Greer stands accused of murdering his then girlfriend, Tammy Marie Esquivel, in December of 2006 in Harris County. Greer was indicted on murder charges in 2007, but was not arrested. He has since disappeared, and was recently added to Interpol's database.
Liberty County Police found Greer, wearing nothing but a shirt, in his pickup truck, which had been stranded in a ditch, in 2006. Authorities said that Greer, when confronted by the officers, began rambling about an accidental shooting that killed Esquivel.

When officers searched Greer's home, which was located in north Harris County, they found blood and a roll of heavy-duty plastic. Detectives speculated that Greer might have wrapped Esquivel's body in the plastic and disposed of it.
As reported by the Houston Chronicle, witnesses said they saw Greer in Kentucky in 2008, but authorities came up empty after a search. Greer is now 51 years old.
