New evidence released explained that Williams had stashed several watches in a sock the day before his body was found.
The coroner's report also revealed, 'Yesterday the subject reportedly became concerned about several of his wrist watches, which wife Susan Schneider attributed to the typical signs of paranoia he had been displaying. The subject secured several watches in a sock and drove them to his house.'
