10/2/20 Update: Assistant District Attorney Julie Hahn argued before Monroe County Supreme Court Judge Daniel Doyle that the names & information of the family members used to identify Williams should not be released to the public. Williams's attorney, Joshua Stubbe, argued that his team has the right to know the information on the family used for DNA identification. He said it is part of Williams’s right to present a defense. Judge Doyle said he will make a decision later Tuesday. Williams is due back in court for a motion argument on Dec. 22, for hearings on March 9, 2021 and for trial on June 7, 2021. Williams plead not guilty. Next virtual hearing on 1/4/21. 1/4/21 Update: Next Motions hearing on 3/9/21.

So - nothing new...
No, this case seems to be particularly bereft of details and updates, nothing after 2020 it would seem.imo.So - nothing new...
Again, no new links, but it seems that the accused had a hearing in March, imo.@dotr - me again!

Cold Case Solved After 36 Years
Liz Jin
Jun 6
''Although the pain will never go away, Wendy’s mother chooses to focus on keeping the memories of her loving daughter alive. This Thanksgiving, she says, will be different because she is one step closer to getting justice for Wendy.
Conclusion
I always wondered who the birthday card was for that Wendy tried to deliver that fateful night. It’s a small detail that I can’t help but dwell on — not so much the identity of the recipient but their destiny. Did they grow up happy and healthy? Did they know that, but for that card, Wendy would never have left the house that night and might be alive today?
At times, life seems cruelly arbitrary in who is set up for and spared from tragedy. Wendy’s innocent act of kindness led to her death, meanwhile, her killer lived free for 36 years. It seems grossly unfair. But then I remember that Wendy’s death also served as an inspiration: to a young girl who vowed to become a prosecutor to fight on behalf of victims like Wendy and to an entire police force who refused to rest until they caught her killer.''
