The Devil's Checkmate

On December 16, 2000, 31-year-old Mike Williams vanished while duck hunting on Florida’s Lake Seminole. His truck was found. His boat was found. But Mike… was gone.

For years, authorities believed he’d drowned—dragged beneath the surface by alligators. But there was no body. No blood. No real evidence of a struggle.

What emerged instead was a story of greed, betrayal, and a staged disappearance that unraveled into one of Florida’s strangest and most calculated murders. Criminal Mischief digs into how an insurance plot became a cold-blooded crime—and how, 17 years later, the truth finally surfaced from the swamp.
