William Edward Wells III—later branded “The Monster of Mayport”—is one of Florida’s most chilling and least‑known serial killers. Born in 1975, Wells unleashed a series of brutal murders beginning in 2003, when he killed his wife and four members of her family over a span of just over a week in the coastal community of Mayport. He pleaded guilty and received multiple life sentences, but his violence didn’t end behind bars. Over the next decade, Wells was linked to additional killings, ultimately being convicted of seven murders in total, including the 2019 murder of a fellow inmate.
