Coral Eugene Watts has confessed to 13 murders, and authorities in four states believe the true number of victims may total more than 50. They were all women, and they were strangled, stabbed, hanged, or drowned, all part of Watts' plan not just to take their lives, but to "kill their spirit." Today, at 49, Watts marks time in the Texas prison system, patiently waiting for May 9, 2006 -- the day of his scheduled release. Because, as Glenna Whitley of the Dallas Observer reports, Watts has made a career of staying one step ahead of authorities -- and of combining unspeakable wickedness with phenomenal luck.
