Sleeping in the Bathtub Kimberli Roessing-Anderson

Sleeping in the Bathtub is based on a true story. Former Marine, Timothy Allen McWilliams shot three people in 1980 near West Virginia University. One young man died. After a mistrial in 1984, a conviction in 1984, and the overturning of the verdict by the West Virginia Supreme Court in 1986, Timothy Allen McWilliams came home to his parents in 1988. He had spent much of the time between 1980-1988 in Weston State Hospital. Diagnosed as a schizophrenic, Tim came home and lived under the radar with his parents for the next 30 years. In March of 2018, Tim woke up one morning and stabbed to death his father. Based on public records, interviews, and the author's memory, Tim's tragic story is told.
