Bond hearing Friday for accused killer of Springfield teen

An 8:30 a.m. Friday bond hearing is scheduled in Greene County Circuit Court for Lonnie Leroy Williams, 32, Springfield, charged with first degree murder and armed criminal action in connection with the December 20 stabbing death of MacKenna Milhon, 19.

Greene County deputies and Springfield Police Department officers discovered Milhon's body December 30 at 1628 E. Farm Road 88 in Springfield. She had been missing for 10 days.

Williams admitted to the killing during a January 2 interview with Greene County investigators, according to the probable cause statement.








Williams said Milhon was upset because he lied to her about having drugs for her. He stated he grabbed a knife located on the passenger floorboard and stabbed Milton once in the neck area.

Williams said they both exited the vehicle and he approached her to see if she was o. k. Milhon slapped Williams across the face and continued to strike him, so he said he stabbed her in the neck about three to four more times.

Williams told detectives Milhon stumbled between two buildings before falling to the ground, where he held her until she died.
