Adam C. Williams, one of the two individuals accused of killing a New Hampshire couple and burying their bodies in a shallow grave on Padre Island in 2019, has reached a plea deal with prosecutors.

Kleberg County court officials confirmed that Williams, 35, has agreed to plead guilty and spend the rest of his life in prison with no option for parole. In return, state prosecutors will agree to not seek the death penalty.

Adam Curtis Williams appears in court at Kleberg County Courthouse on Friday, Nov. 8, 2019. His shaved head revealed an array of tattoos, some profanity-laced.
